  • Adoption - need i say more?
  • Adoption is the best choice.
  • Should have thought of that before you spread your legs without protection.
  • sweetheart congratulations on being mature enough to know you arent mature enough. give a call to a social services department at your local hospital.they should be able to help you find people to talk to. good luck sweetie.
  • First, you should have planned for this. Now it has occurred. You do recognize that you are not ready for the baby and you are, now, planning for it... good move. You have to decide between adoption and abortion (if it is still available). That is YOUR personal choice. If you do not do drugs and are healthy (I know neither about you), I would suggest adoption. If you do do drugs, the fetus is at risk and you shall have to talk to a doctor to make a fully informed decision. Also, regarding adoption, look into the adoption agencies and their reputations. Some are great, some are nothing but disaster.
  • Adoption, but think next time. We may be helping you with another desission if you dont wear a jimmy. Like how do i get rid of Aids ,guess what ....you dont!!
  • Your screwed.lol, just joking .Wheres the father and yes ,I think your too young for a babySounds like you dont even have a job.Dont bring a baby into this world if you cant support,love,and care for it.You can have one later in life.
  • Maybe the father could take some time from his life to help out, He may want to keep his kid. Nobody pointed that out... Who is the father of the baby?
  • I was also thinkin that maybe the father could take care of the kid till i get on my feet ill prob have to go to court to get the baby back but at least if i had a stable life everything would be better or only have partail custody till i get my mind right
  • do you have any other family or friends who would be willing to take care of the baby? if at least temporarily while you sort things out? abortion is not a choice, you put yourself at risk for all sorts of medical complications, and its not fair to end another life due to our own mistakes/decisions.. a baby is a responsiblity, sure, but one that is of such a source of great joy when you invest love into his/her life.. if you cant take care of it, then let someone else you trust take care of him/her.. and give someone else a chance at sharing that joy!!
  • Yes...I think adoption is sometimes the best thing a parent can do for their child. It would go to someone who really wants a child, and given the cost of adoption, they can probably provide for it much better than you can. It's better than keeping it, not being able to provide for it, not being a good parent, and possibly resenting it and taking it out on the child later on.
  • I was exactly in the place you are at 39 years ago. I gave my baby girl up for adoption and I know I did the right thing.I was very young and finacially and emotionally I could not raise a child. She found me when she was 34 years old and we now have a wonderful relationship. She was raised in a good and loving family. I even met her adoptive Mom and she has thanked me for giving her up out of love so she could have a daughter. I think the key here is to be sure you contact a reputable adoption agency. I was only 16 when I had her so my parents,being Catholic, contacted a Catholic adoption agency. Good luck and know that giving the baby to someone who really wants one is the best thing you can do.
  • hey sweetie, I have a few questions for you. Do you knwo who the father is and if so is he still in your life? Does he know your pregnant? Does he want the baby? also, do you do anything illegal like drugs or alcohol? let me know because i would truly like to help.
  • YES PLEASE!! I know of at least 3 couples in my neighborhood alone wanting to adopt...YOU ARE WONDERFUL FOR DOING THIS!!! Consider us...

  • Hi there. I am a mom of two and my husband and I have had 4 foster children. We are upper middle class and have an extra bedroom for another child...we are planning to adopt soon. We have lots of references and have had professional training and many other experiencesw children and the like. If you are interested we are waiting!
  • A girl like you could make a parson like me a dream come true. There are plenty of woman out there who would love to adopt a baby. Many of them who have been trying for years. Please whatever you do dont panick if you have not gotten things in order once this baby comes. If you dont want to keep the baby and want to adopt the baby out, but for some reason you dont have it planned out and the baby comes. Dont throw the baby away or kill it and dont just abandon it in strange place. Instead take it to the hospital and say you cant take care of her. Have ready, the birthday. How sad it would be to just drop the baby off and for the staff to have to guess how old the baby is and for that baby to not ever truly know her real birthday. But by all means plan this out. Leaving your name is important. You might not want to ever meet your child now, but maybe one day you will. Or maybe you want an open adoption. So planning things out now is way better. If you dont know what an open adoption is. Here is what it is... There are different levels of an open adoption. 1. is just knowing the names of the fsamily where your child went and them knowing your name. 2.Knowing names and profile of each other 3.The above and meeting each other 4.The above and haveing some form of contact over the years. Maybe only contact with the parents. Them letting you know how the child is and you letting them know how you are. This could be done by letters, email, phone or even in person. 5.The above and the above contact with the child also. maybe only on Brithdays and Holidays or maybe more often. 6. The above and visits with the child on Birthdays and Holidays. Or more often This is all between you and the adoptive parents. But get a mediator for this. This is someone who legally has you guys sign papers saying what will take place. Because honestly once they adopt your child, they are the parents and they have controle they could then say we want nothing to do with you and stop all contact. If you have a signed agreement for contact then you have the right to take them to court for contact.
