This is a very hard decision you are going to have to make and at such a young age. There is NO ONE that can decide whether you should keep this baby or not.This is YOUR decision. If you decide to keep it, I'd be getting in touch with the best mate of the guy and getting a phone number. He's liable for child support. If you decide to allow another family to adopt GOD bless you my child! I wish I could thank the birth Mother in Russia for my beautiful niece and the 15 year old Mother in Georgia for my nephew. My brother and his wife could not have children. So adoption was the only option. Both childrens Mothers were under 18. You have a lot to consider, will you be able to give this baby the kind of life it will deserve? WIll you be willing to make sacrifices? You are only 17 and have your whole life ahead of you. I am very glad to hear your parents are being supportive whatever you decide, but......your parents have raised their children. It would not be fair if you had this baby and pawned it off on them to go and do things you want to do. (I am not saying that this is the case.) Just make sure this is what you really want to do. I'd say if you are willing ot give this baby 100% of your time, then go for it and be the best Mother you can possibley be. Any child deserves this much in life. But, if you decide you are just not ready, there's ALWAYS a family out there waiting to love a baby. Good luck to you and this baby!
