I've always said that if i ever got caught i could never abort because i'm totally against it, however there's things i really want to do with my life. I know im not ready for a child but also know i could manage the responsibility. I've thought about adoption if i decide to keep but i think thats just as bad as abortion. I'm so confused on what i should do...

Hi,This message board is great support for you and I have you in my thoughts. I know that you are stressed out and wondering what to do. Can you mom make you do what she wants you to do. Legally, I don't think so. YOU will have to make the decision, what a way to grow up fast. I live in Texas and we work with Independent Adoption Agency out of Georgia. We have a great director there that could speak with you privately to discuss your legal rights and options. I have included their contact name and number below. Currently we are wanting to adopt and this agency is hopefully going to find us a baby. They talk to women of all ages and are extremely helpful. If you do call them, be honest. Their is no judging at all. If you decide you would like to take the adoption path, we would love to speak with you. You may request to speak with us through the adoption agency or contact us directly. You can email me at [email address blocked] and in the subject line please put adoption. we get tons of spam mail, this way we will read it:) Our thoughts are with you and we look forward to the possibily of talking with you.Sincerely,KimberGeorgia Office3774 Lavista Road, Suite 100Tucker, GA 30084T: 404-321-6900F: 404-321-6600BRANCH DIRECTORSAmber Burfeind, LMSWBranch Director / Adoption Coordinator[email address blocked]

 I think you need to sit down with your boyfriend and tell him and decide together im sure your family would help out, a baby is a blessing but if you and your boyfriend feel that you cant cope then its either abortion or adoption, im afraid there are not many options

 Well, depending on how far along u are, you can take an abortion pill. It hurts, but its better than surgery, I just had the same thing happen. I would only give it up for adoption if you already have a family for it because you really dont want your baby going "into the system." Its hard decision but give it a lot of thought and know the facts, good luck.

you know wat i think ....i think you are so so lucky to get pregnant most people say its a blessing which it is .
ive been tryin for about two years im young im healthy i dont smoke but theres no chance of me geeting pregnant,,i would b so over the moon if that was me.
i think you should consider your options i no if you have an abortion it can make you infertile ..and adoption is always the idea if your strong enough i suppose in the long run ..is there not any way of you parents bringing your child up instead?..have a chat with ur boyfriend and see wat he thinks..it really is up to at the end of the day just hope its the rite choice for you and for your future.
good luck !
