| Help!!!!!!!!1 Sometimes we just need some help. We aren't being the parent we know we should be, so we need a little hlep to get past whatever it is that is bothering us, before we can be a good parent again. We love our children but due to financial difficulties and other life events, we may need a littl help. Here are some resources available: STOP!!!!!!!BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO ABANDON YOU BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The BABY FOUNDATION is an organization that will help you halp your baby. I know it is a difficult time for you right now. YOu are young, your boyfriend just left you, there is just so much going on right now. You dind't want to be a mommie yet, but here you are, and you are confused. You can legally leave your child at any emergency room and you will not be charged with abandonment. You may remain anonymous. They would like you to fill out the health history for your child, but it is not required. Your child will be safely taken care of in a foster care home. And, if you change your mind, you have 30 days to claim your child and you will receive the help and resources you need to gain knowledge and experience in taking care of your newborn. There are plenty of Mentoring organiations out there today who will match you up with another mom who has been where you are right now to help guide you into Mommiehood with confindence. DEPRESSION IS AN ILLNESS!!! DO NOT IGNORE THE SYMPTOMS!!!! YOU MUST TREAT IT AS YOU WOULD ANY OTHER ILLNESS. YOU MAY NEED MEDICATION OR MAYBE ALL YOU MAY NEED IS TALK THERAPY. YOU MUST FIRST TELL SOMEONE. TELL YOUR HUSBAND/PARTNER OR YOUR DOCTOR OR OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL. WHAT EVER YOU DO, TELL SOMEONE ABOUT HOW YOU ARE FEELING.
