Sondra, I truly feel for you in this situation. Please consider all of your options. Ask yourself what it is that you want for YOUR child... Can you provide it? (Not speaking necessarily of monetary things for these situations change frequently) If you can provide these things ... the things you deem most important... then parent.... If not, then consider adoption- open, semi-open, or closed... You have many options there. Also I would suggest that you viisit the site, www.birthmombuds.com- They can offer insite for you. It is a program run by a really great lady named Coley who is a birthmother herself. There are women there who may really be able to help you. Please know that you and your situation are in my thoughts and prayers... Please let me know if I can help you further.... by the way, what state are you from? You may contact me through e-mail if you like... txteacher234@yahoo.com... Best of Luck and ((((hugs)))) to you!

I am 6 months pregnant at 18 yrs old. And I need to decide if I should keep my baby or adoption. I made a very bad mistake and now I am suffering the consequences. It's very stressful and I'm beating myself up everyday for what I have done. Please help, I really need some advice and help on what I should do? And I'd like to talk to other people going through the same situation.
