One of the first things we recommend you do is find your local life-affirming pregnancy care center. The people you meet there will be a strong support to your daughter as she begins this journey. They have classes, they have resources and more than anything else, they have love to share with your daughter and your family. They are often the “hub” to the wheel of many important resources in your community. Schedule a visit together – invite your daughter’s partner and his parents to join you there as well. Getting to know everyone is an important part of this journey. Becoming allies for each other will make the journey together more enjoyable. Your daughter and her partner will need everyone’s ideas and patience as each day unfolds. There are four ways to show your support: 1. Emotional: providing validation 2. Informational: sharing knowledge 3. Companionship: spending time 4. Material: providing resources And…We are here. We will be here to help point you to resources and to have a safe place to talk all along the way. Find your local pregnancy center and schedule a visit together. Ask if you can be with your daughter as they confirm the pregnancy and eventually see an ultrasound. These moments will go by quickly and it’s important to try and make the most of them right now. Grab a journal and right some things down that are just between you and your pen!
