Question

Im so excited but it was unexpected and things so I dont really have the money, I work at Wal-Mart...I was wondering if anyone knows how goverment help programs work? I mean if you cant pay for a baby, what are they going to do make you have an abortion? I dont want that, I want my baby......

Im just afraid that they will say "you make to much money"

Answer 1

No no no. You can get Medicaid. Call your county WIC program and ask them how to get assistance--usually through a Community Action Program or Health Department. Congratulations!!!

Answer 2

First of all, noone can MAKE you give up the baby, either through abortion or giving it up for adoption. Those choices are yours to make. It depends on the state and county you live in, but your best bet will be to go to your local department of family services and apply for aid. The local labor department or even a police officer should be able to direct you to the correct facility. They should be able to set you up with at least the W.I.C. program which gives you food vouchers to make sure you get the nutrition you need while you are pregnant. The program continues after you have the child as well. I don't know if this is available where you are, but it is in Georgia. Beyond that, you should also apply for child welfare, Medicaid insurance, and anything else they can provide. You may not qualify for all the programs but it doesn't hurt to apply for them. They can be very helpful if times get hard. Also, make sure who the father of the child is through DNA test and whether he is willing to help or not, have the case worker you will be assigned call him in to sign documentation for child support. YOU NEED THIS! If he doesn't cooperate, your case worker will arrange to have a hearing in front of a judge to determine his responsibilities.
I also work for Wal-Mart. Check with your personnel manager and find out about the policies on maternity leave and the other types of leave available to you (i.e.:family leave). These will be very important to you if you become sick or unable to work. Best wishes.

In the US it's called WELFARE/FOOD STAMPS thus medicare/medicad come in since you can't work to pay your bills, baby sitter etc etc..Take your partner to court have him pay child support and as his check goes up make sure his payments go up to help pay this childs expenses. Have your family help you and that will get old and thrown up in your face more often than not..Get married and have him support you and you work while he is home sitting and vice versa..Win the lottery (no just kidding) It's a tough cruel world out there with kids, not much help unless you really humble yourself for handouts. and it gets worse when you need child care as the kid gets older.Good Luck to you my Dear..I pray you have a very health normal baby and you teach/help it to grow up to be a Super Star..
