Baby Steps’ goal for every Student-Mom is graduation because facing an unplanned pregnancy should not result in dropping out .
Every Baby Steps Alumni prove that the unexpected doesn’t have to be the end of the story. Instead, it can be the beginning of something powerful.
“No one really knows what it’s like when you close the textbooks and you don’t just get to go home to your dorm or your apartment but you go home to a child that’s depending on you. There are people that are going to support you and give you resources and that you can in fact get a degree and be a mom to your baby.”
- Emery / The University of Alabama
“I think one of the things I was scared of most when I had that positive pregnancy test in college was that I wasn’t going to be able to do both. I thought that being pregnant meant I had to put my life on hold. Looking back, Baby Steps was a pivotal time in my life and a springboard into where I am now.”
- Lauren / Auburn University
“I just happened to see a flyer in the bathroom stall, and it was actually the Baby Steps flyer. Had I not seen that flyer and taken that phone number I probably would have dropped out and walked away because she needed me more to be a mother than a student.”
