here to help	Posted: Feb 15, 2005 03:57:56 PM Okay, Everyone has a different thought on this subject. I believe that in some cases some women have to, or are forced into an abortion. My advice is to consider a couple things. 1.did you understand that you were doing something that is a high risk activity for pregnancy?2. what would you have wanted your mom to do if you werent planned.Look...things happen, sometimes we make mistakes, i AM NOT JUDGING YOU!!! I feel really bad that you are faced with this situation. I personally think you should go through with the pregnancy. As a teen myself (seventeen) i completely understand how frightning it could be for you to have to face motherhood. Adoption is a good option. There are so many parents looking to adopt. Also if you want to keep the baby, I say go for it! There is a lot that you will learn about yourself by facing your responsibility head on. I say the best option is whatever is best for your child. When you have a baby your life needs to be focused on them. I really hope you dont have an abortion(honestly I dont have anything against it.) It is just that you will always have that memory in the back...or even front of your mind. I really am glad that you are asking for advice, and I hope mine helped.BEST OF LUCK!!!!! e-MAIL ME AT BLONDE142003@YAHOO.COM( i HOPE YOU WILL E-MAIL ME)
Dawn	Posted: Oct 28, 2004 08:07:52 PM Jenny, I'm not sure what the actual statistics are however I do know that for some reason I found your posting. My name is Dawn and I feel for you. I too remember being a teenager and finding myself in a position where "it" was late. I paniced, not knowing what to do. I found myself at planned parenthood taking a pregnancy test under a name other than my own (crazy fears). I was not pregnant. I now find myself, many years later (and married to that high school sweetheart from back then) wishing and praying to adopt. All I can say to you is confide in someone to help you make a choice that you feel is right for you. Consider, though that you have a choice to have an open adoption. Best wishes and I'll pray for you and your baby. :)

Living Expenses - Why?

For some adoptive families, the concept of financially assisting their future baby’s birth mother is, at first, hard to fully embrace. You may find yourself wondering why you should be expected to help her pay for her medical or living expenses. This is a completely normal, understandable reaction.

But before you think of a birth mother’s expenses as rightfully hers, consider this: If your baby were inside of you, instead, what would you do?

The birth mother who has chosen you has also made the selfless decision to choose adoption for her child. While the decision to place a child for adoption is as unique as each individual, financial inability to adequately provide for a child is often a major motivation. Through the decision to adopt, some women realize they have the potential to choose for their child the type of life they could only dream of providing.

While babies are unfortunately raised worldwide in less-than-adequate conditions, and many amazing women somehow find the means to do so, it takes resources and access to proper care to provide for a child.

Raising a baby begins long before birth, in utero. In fact, this most critical time of development is more important than perhaps any other point in a child’s life.
