The article recounts a couple's unexpected transition into parenthood during their junior year of college. Initially, they believed they would have more time to prepare for adopting a child, but circumstances accelerated the process. They quickly adjusted to their new roles as parents and moved into an apartment. This dramatic change not only affected their living situation but also transformed their social circle. They lost friends who could not relate to their new responsibilities and instead formed bonds with other young parents, experiencing both the challenges and rewards of early parenting.
One of the greatest surprises of parenthood at a young age was losing one peer group and developing a new one.
Our lives were changed in ways we had never expected, and although it was stressful at times, I wouldn't change how we learned and grew as a family.
