Keep my baby or have an abortion?

I'm 36 years old pregnant with my third child from a third father. My boyfriend and I have only been together for 4 months and I'm currently 7wks 3d into my pregnancy and he isn't around like I need him to be. I really think he is cheating on me and lying to me about his life. I just don't know if I can go down this road again with another man not being there. The crazy thing is he asked me to have a baby and I prayed that I could have another child and I have been blessed with this one I just can't deal with him not being around. Any Advice Please

Maybe this baby is a blessing either for you or someone else? I think if you don't think you can raise the baby on your own that maybe you should give it up for adoption to a family so is praying for a baby but can't have one on their own.

I'm glad you are keeping your blessing from God. There are no mistakes. This baby is meant to be! Glad you kept strong! :)

I want to thank all of you for the advice. I have a doctors appointment today with a sonogram. This child is a blessing just like my other 2 boys. Once again thank you all

Praying for you I'm kind of in the same situation but I'm going to keep this child this is also my 3rd child my other two are 16 and 9 so I'm starting over. But I know God would not put more on me than I can bare and I know he would not put more on u either a child is a blessing but just make sure what ever u chose u can live with it guilt free and it's the best choice for u and ur children I went back and forth with the thought of abortion but I just didn't think I could live with it

I hate that you're in such a position. You always have the option of adoption. Before I found out I was pregnant my hubby and I were going to adopt. We had so many fertility issues and felt our only option was adoption. Please, if you decide not to keep this child, don't terminate. There's a loving family that can help.

You are not alone! May God give you the strength you need right now. The baby should live and bring joy to your life.

Such a tough place to be in. It sounds like on one hand you would be raising this baby alone if you kept it but on the other hand you prayed for this child. Praying for you to be surrounded by wise counsel as you ponder thus grave decision
