Amber Ray Opens Up On Being A Mother At 17 Years Old

Amber Ray, has opened up about her experience of becoming a mother at the age of 17.

In an interview with Mungai Eve, Ray said that becoming a mother at a young age was a challenge, but it also brought her and her son, Gavin, closer together.

“I got pregnant at 17. It was by mistake. But he (Gavin) is the best child ever. He is my friend, maybe it’s because I was young when I got him,” Ray said.

Ray said that her son has seen her at her worst, but that has only strengthened their bond.

“He has seen me grow. It has not been easy, but he has seen me in all my stages. There was a time I used to live a flashy life, but it was given and then it was taken. We had to start from scratch. I was afraid because I did not know how he would take it, but God has been faithful. When I told him we had to downgrade, he was okay with it.”

Ray said that she sometimes wishes Gavin’s biological father was around to attend his school meetings, but that she has overall enjoyed her motherhood journey.

“I hated attending school meetings. I wished his dad was present so that he can attend such meetings. But generally, I have enjoyed my motherhood journey.”

Ray’s story is a reminder that becoming a parent at a young age can be challenging, but it can also be a rewarding experience. With the right support, young parents can overcome the challenges and raise happy, healthy children.
