I have felt the exact same way girl, im so sorry you feel that way. I will tell you that pain doesnt last forever. Adoption is an option, but so is you keeping youre child, both are very brave decisions. I have four that i have raised on my own with a fifth on the way and i just finalized my divorce. I wouldve never thought i could do it but i have, and im almost done with school. It is extremely hard and changes everything, so take time, really think about what you can do. Nothing has to be decided right away. And know there are women out there who care to listen

*relationship= not friendship. But if dad is still in the pic and wants to be part of child life,  let him. Once you hold your lil one,  everything will be ok

It is hard,  but there are so many programs and benefits to aid single mothers.  They have school aid, medical,  child care,  and food stamps.  There's no reason you need to struggle or worry.  Yes it's hard being a single mom,  but you can do it!  If you got family n friends support even better!  You don't need to marry or be in an unhealthy or stressful friendship bc of fear or insecurites. Your baby is your #1priorty.
