  • Well at the end of the day, it's both of your responsibility. You also need to think if you will be able to give the baby the adequate attention and resources it deserves and needs.
  • 1. Adopt it out. 2. Give it to your parents til you're ready. 3. Foster out til ready
  • This is a hard thing you are going through and my heart goes out to you.. If you don't want an abortion don't get one. If you want to keep the child when he/she is born then do so, this is Your child.. If you do not wish to keep the child because you are young, then put the child up for adoption. There are several family's who are unable to have children who would love to have one. This is not to say abortion is wrong, but it might be wrong for you. Since you are saying that you don't want to have an abortion if you were to go through with it with that mind set you would regret it. It's something you never forget. I have a personal story to share with you but I would rather not do it here and be down rated on such a tender subject. If you want to talk my e-mail is prettywoeman@hotmail.com
  • regardless of what decision you make you will live with it for the rest of your life...so think this through. i'm glad to hear abortion isn't what you want...just don't let anyone talk you into it. it is not the quick fix some people think it is...i don't know a great deal about adoption but i know of a child who has been adopted and his mom is in is life as an "aunt"...he will be told when he is older that she is not his aunt but for now this is what he knows...i think it was referred to as a private open adoption...you'd have to get legal consult on this...
  • Well, adoption is always an option, but could you really go on with your life knowing you have a child out there in the world somewhere? Know that if you decide to keep this baby, you need to be prepared to care for it. You can only attempt( they dont always pay) to make this guy accountable financially(child support). Be prepared to become primary caretaker if this is your choice.This means do not become bitter because he is not there to rotate with you when you are up with the baby every two hours in the nigh, feeding and chaging every 2-3 hours, and sitting at home cleaning spit up and both kidneys about to burst because you have to pee, but can't put the baby down because it is feeding and he is haning out with his friends and doing his own thing. Oh yeah, and enjoy jumping up for last minute or spontaneous runs to the store, because that will change soon as well. AND good luck sharing your child(most precious thing in your life) with this guy who you have only been with for six weeks and now have to combine your moral and eithnic systems to develop a method of parenting! LOL I'm just sharing some experiences. The mose important advice: whatever choice you make, make sure its the one for you. YOU have to live with it. Family may be supportive, but ultimately it is you who will be responsible for this child's life. Hope things work out for the best....
  • it does not matter if he "wants it" or not. its non negotiable. he doesnt have a choice. it is his child weather he likes it or not. you do not have to give up the baby for his sake. if he is not willing to take on the responsibilities of having sex then he shouldnt have sex. he needs to be a man and assume his position as "dad" If he will absoltely NOT be there for you and the child, I would still keep it if its what you want. Remeber this is YOUR decision to. it is your child and It does not deserve to be killed. this child has done nothing wrong and deserves a chance at life dont you think? I wish you the best and I hope you keep the child.
  • Only you can make the decision. If you decide to keep the baby and he doesn't support you, he doesn't deserve to be your partner, so leave him and sue him for child support.
  • Tell your parents that you are pregnant and then investigate adoption. God bless you for not wanting an abortion.
  • Plenty of people would consider your baby a gift from God and raise your child - an actual person - with so much love, support, and nurturing. Then, this child can grow up and fulfill actual hopes and dreams. Please consider adoption. It would be selfless of you to carry a child that you would not keep. It would be hard. But, you had something unexpected happen. Human life doesn't have to be a mistake. This can be a miracle.
  • i wouldnt have the abortion if you dont want it, i would dump him if he dont want the baby and make him pay child support
  • I’m the product of and extra marital affair, the moment I was born my mother realized that I was not her husband’s child. She immediately gave me to the custody of the state and 6 weeks later I was in the hands of my true family. I had the best childhood ever. And now I’m living my best life ever. We all make mistakes, don’t be so quick to throw in the towel and call it quits. You can resolve this problem without resorting to extreme measures. Romans 12:21 encourages us to conquer evil with good. Look into private adoption, there are people who would be willing to pay your medical, room and board in exchange for adoption. You’d get to know them and they will always be grateful to you. I’m so happy that my mom gave me away for adoption so that I was able to grow up in a healthy and loving environment with 2 parents and a house full of kids (they had 3 natural children before I was born). It was courageous of my mother to NOT abort me and my parents never spoke bad about my biological family, they helped me to get in touch with them when I was 18. Be strong and resist the path that Satan expects you to take. You can make the right decision!
  • Your options are clear and it is time to stop being "confused" and act with both your head and your heart: 1) Go through the pregnancy, have the baby, and put it up for adoption or raise it as a single mom (your guy is not going to be there) or 2) Abortion, nobody's first choice but otherwise, if you keep the baby, your life will be a major struggle until you are about 40.
  • You apparently are not responsible enough to use birth control. Your options are these: 1. Have the baby, be a single mom, go see a lawyer to have legal custody, get child support, and set up a visitation schedule. 2. Have the baby and put it up for adoption 3. Have an abortion. Go to Planned Parenthood discuss your options and how long you have to make up your mind. You may only have a few weeks.
