I too, am going thru the same situation with my family. I found out i was preganant at the sixth month and it was unplanned and overwhelming i already have a 2 year old girl and we are struggling to make ends met. I don't think they understand that. I just talked about with my mom today and it got ugly. My mom and family is making it really hard. If you need someone to talk i am there with you anytime.

Friends and family love us and are generally more than happy to put in their two cents with the best of intentions. However, you are an adult and you have to make this very tough decision. I encourage you to make sure you research your adoption choices, seek some professional counseling, and do what you feel is best based on all of that and what you feel. I am an adoptive mother, and I have seen what a miracle it can be. If you decide to follow through, know that you have done something amazing. If you decide to keep the child and be a great parent, then you have still done something amazing. You can't see them, but I am sending you big hugs!

I'm 24 years old and already have a daughter. This second baby was not planned, she is from an affair that I had. I know that she will be better off with another family that can give her what she needs. My family however does not understand that. It's a hard enough decsion and they are just making it harder. All I need is some support.
