Do you have a sense of what kind of family you would like (not that one can ever fully plan)? Are you planning to adopt? Or have biological children? What if you or your partner is infertile? Would you consider working with a fertility specialist? Has the emotional toll of all of these life-changing decisions been a source of bonding between you, your partner, your friends and family or a tension point? Key concepts that will be explored in this section are : fertility / infertility concerns, pregnancy prevention, contraception, abortion, adoption, pregnancy, communication skills and emotional support.
