    Making decisions about parenting is sometimes easier when you understand that:

    • Choosing means letting go of other options
    • You'll need time to reach a decision that is your own, that you are happy with
    • You can't expect to be 100 percent certain
    • The "wrong" decision won't ruin your life
    • It's important to use logic and intuition when considering your options
    • You can seek the support of family and friends
    • You can consider nontraditional options for raising children
