its very hard for a parent to except the fact that all of us make mistakes even we did as teens. Right now my 14year old is pregnant and has choosen to put her child up for adoption. And I have to say that I am very proud of the decision she has made. Even though I was upset and disappointed of the fact that she became pregnant a a young age, she is still my daughter and I will support her 100% in all of the decsion she has made. For you my child you need to be sure this is something your heart really wants to do. I raised a child at 17 years old and if it wasn't for the support I got from my mother I would of been lost. Its very sad that some parents just ealk away from there children when things like this happen, we as parents should stand behind our children. I wish you all the best and may God guide you in the righ direction, this decision isn't easy that you have to make, but you have to make the right decision for you and your child no matter what anyone thinks !

my brother was a birthfather. he could hardly staand to place his baby, but he was in highschool and couldnt take care of him at that time in his life. together they made an adoption plan and decided on only pictures instead visits. he didnt want the baby to be confused and it was hard to see the baby and then have to leave him. he decided to not go through the pain of visits anymore. good luck girls with all thats going on in your lives!

I think you are very wise for your age. You are wanting what is best for your child. My husband and I have a daughter and would like to adopt a child. I am adopted myself and I understand the whole process. I have nothing but love for my birth mother and know she did the best thing for me gave me a great life. I would love to help you. Thank you,
Shelly

Hello - When I read your message, it brought back all of my memories. My sister placed a baby for adoption when we were young. It was so hard for her because she loved her little boy so deeply. She read lots and lots of parent profiles and finally found a family who she fell in love with. It didn't make her decision easy, but now that it has been 12 years, we have seen how happy her little boy is and we love him so much. There were lots and lots of tears - and there still are. But she KNOWS it was the right thing. With prayer you will know the right answer for you. If you want to talk - I'm here for you!

Hello. Do you have family you can talk to? You sound like a bright young girl but adoption is never an easy decision. I am here if you need someone to talk to. Take care and may god bless you in the decisions you make and may you find the peace you need.
Katie

It is really admirable that you show so much wisdom at your early age.....all I can say is that you should look for help with an adoption agency that has a good track record with birthmothers. They will help you explore the possibibiliites, wether to choose to keep your baby or should you decide to give the gift of motherhood to people that are unable to have a child. They provide counseling and tons of information that you need to have in order to be healthy, feel comfortable with whatever decision you chose and get assistance in whatever form is possible and necessary. All I can say is that if you get informed on both decisions....either one will be right...there is no wrong answer on this one, only what is the right thing for you first. I hope this helps...If you have God in your life, that would be the first step.......You seem like a wonderful person....May God guide you in this path....remember...both possibilities are right....
