Heather,
I understand that it is tough at your age. I was adopted at birth, and I am very greatful for my adoptive parents, I know for a fact that I have a better life, not saying you can't give your child a good life, but you are 15 and still have a tone of years to have fun and you need to graduate. Its hard to make a good decision but I am happy to be in the family that I am. You can email me at spedskate4life21@aol.com if you want to chat.

Heather, my name is Michelle and I work for American Adoptions. I am also a birth mother and had my son when I was 17 years old. I placed him for adoption and it was one of the best decisions I could have made for my son. He is so happy and his adoptive family has provided him more opportunities than I could have ever imagined. Please feel free to email me if you have questions as I will be happy to talk to you. michellew@americanadoptions.com. Thank you for your time.

Hi Heather... I'm an adoptive mom so I have never been in your shoes, but would be more than happy to talk to you and bout what options that you may have. I would encourage you to talk to maybe a school counselor or try www.birthmombuds.com. This site is run by a birthmother named Coley who has placed a child in an open adoption. I know that she would be more than happy to help you out, too! There are also other birthmoms there that would discuss all the positive and negatives about adoption as well as your other options. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for I know that this must be a very trying and scarry time for you! Lots of Love and Hugs being sent your way! .... Kara

Heather,
I had my first daughter when I was 14 so I understand what you are going through. It is a hard situation to be in, but I am 26 now and I promise things do get better. If you have any specific questions or concerns or if you just need to talk you can email me at PATE95@aol.com. Take care.
