I know that your parents wouldn't be able to force you to get an abortion. Do you think that's something they'd want to do?

first off see a doctor and usually they can help/ and no i also do not think the parents can force you to give the baby up. wow but make sure you get all you facts from someone who for sure knows. and if you decide to keep the baby make sure you are really ready to be a mom

They can't force you to abort the child. They could conceivably protest your ability to raise the child and try to have Child Protective Services put the baby into foster care. But you should be thinking yourself about what would be in the child's best interests. Are you really in a position to provide for this baby? Is the father willing to step up to the plate and help care for it? I don't envy you, what you're going to go through. But remember: your wants and needs are now secondary to that of the child, now. That's what being a parent is all about.

No, they cannot legally force you to put the baby up for adoption or abort it. Check out this very informative website for pregnant teens: http://www.janesdueprocess.org/info_preg_teens/preg_options/faq.htm What you need to consider, though, is how equipped you are to bring a child into the world and raise it. It's estimated that it costs $180,000 dollars to raise a child to the age of 17. Add to that the fact you may be a single mother, may not be able to finish your education (making it extemely difficult to get a well-paying job) and you pretty much sign away your social life. If you want to keep this child, I'm sure your parents will assist you. They are probably shocked and have your best interest in mind. Talk to them about what you want and your plan to achieve it. You have two futures now to consider -- your and your child's. Good luck.

You have three options. 1. Abortion 2. Adoption 3. Parenting The choice is YOURS, not anybody elses. YOU need to sit and think by yourself, or a NON-BIASED person (school counsellor, planned parenthood counsellor, somebody that does NOT have anything to gain or lose by your choice). You need to come up with a solution that works for you, not one that works for the father, your parents or anybody else. Once you have made that choice you need to seek some support for the choice you have made.

No a parent cannot force you to have an abortion. I would like you to give considerable thought to giving this child up to adoption. There are literally thousands of couples who would LOVE to adopt your child and give it a good home. People tend to forget about adoption but it does provide a true loving alternative if you cannot support your child by yourself.

How are you going to pay for this childs food housing medical clothing diapers etc etc etc.??? You are going to have a child, you can not be selfish. This is not a puppy or a gold fish. This baby requires emense time money effort and nurishing love. Can you alone provide these things to the child. What is your plan for this child. Forcing your parents to support the child, welfare which forces everyone around you to support this child. Be reasonable, the child will have a much better life with a two parent home that has income and a financial base. You need to finish school figure out who you are start a life then raise children. If you skip one of these steps, you will be doomed to stay in that position for a long time.
