“It takes a village to raise a child”.. or rather it takes a community.
In this year there’s a baby boom in my community, and never before have I realised how true the statement is that it takes a village (or a community) to raise a child. Actually, being so many couples and pregnant women, I’ve realised another truth: it takes a group of loving and dedicated parents who are willing to share the journey of pregnancy. motherhood, parenthood and co-parenting the children together.
It’s not only about the practical aspects but perhaps foremost about the emotional support that comes when a group of people face some of the biggest aspects of life together, such as pregnancy, birth and raising a child.
I’m so grateful to live in a community where we started sharing our desire for children as couples already before conceiving, creating a space of connection and following each others journey on this bumpy and sometimes challenging road.
Now, many new friendships has been created and I can’t wait to see all of our children growing up together in a community of friends and family where they’re loved and appreciated by everyone.
