Adoption Or Keeping It

[Musicalaznfreak]

I'm only 18, and I'm not ready to be a parent, the father already has his own kids and be doesn't want anything to do with this child. I still got a long road ahead of me before I decide to be a parent, Is it the right choice?

Its really up to you. Having a baby is a life time responsibility and only you know within yourself if you are ready or not. :) giving a baby for adoption is a wonderful gift to a family who has probably dreamt of having their baby of their own for long time. That said as you go on and you feel your baby inside you and see him/her in the ultrasound you get more and more attached to the life inside of you. Im sure youll make the right choice either way. ;) best of luck. X

Hey, you have to choose what's best for you. I had my first child at 17 and my mom wanted me to have an abortion. My ain't even asked if she could adopt my child because she lost herself at the time. I really never debating on whether or not I should keep my son but I'm very happy and satisfied that I chose to be a mom. I'm not saying it was always easy but looking at him everyday makes up for and trials and tribulations I had to face. I'm currently 7weeks pregnant with baby #2 by the same guy and we just broke up a few days ago. Tomorrow I'm scheduled for an ultrasound and haven't spoken to him since our break up. At this point I thought about possible adoption if we can't make it but when I look back at what I was faced at 17 it makes me believe I can do it. With that being said,only you know what the best decision is for you and your baby. I believe everything happens for a reason and babies are truly major blessing. Good luck with your decision.

If you feel your baby would be better off with other parents there is nothing wrong with that at all.... giving your baby a better life is a selfless thing and is loving, if thats what you decide to do find someone who will love and take care of your baby. Theres tones of people that cant have babies n would love to have a baby of their own. But if you dont want to thats ok to :) just because ur 18 dont mean u cant do it if you want to... im 18 ill be 19 in june n im 37 almost 38 weeks, at first i didnt want to be pregnant but now i love my lil girl with all my heart and cant wait to meet her. Good luck hun and make the choice that you feel is right
