I am very much against abortion too. Adoption is a very good thing, what you may want to look into is open adoption because most of the parents who are going to adopt your baby will pay for all your medical, food and other expenses for you carrying that baby. Not to mention you will receive letters, photos, updates, etc on the baby. Or you may even choose to close that option.

Well
Sweetie,
you are a very strong person to admit that you could not support a baby. That makes me very proud. I think you should find out if you are preggy then.... Work through it from there. Maybe talk to some friends or adults and see how it goes!
We're here for ya!
Love,
chanda

First hunny you need to find out for sure. And I know this is gonna sound repetitive but if he won't stay by you through a pregnancy then he isnt a very good boyfriend. Look into adoption there are tons of people out there looking to adopt. Its good that you realize that you cannot afford the baby, this way you are helping both u and the baby. Much love melissa

I agree with mommy_2_b but there are some programs that could help you also if you choose not to give your child up. I'm in a placement right now and it helps alot. Just find out first and figure out what u want not what everyone else does. If your b/f doesn't want to be there then no he is not worth it. Not trying to afend u. Good luck!!

Understanding
I am a teen parent and it is hard for me. I go to high school, take care or my baby, there is a alot of programs that can help you out if you cant take care of your baby if you want to keep the baby. If your boy friend breaks up with you then you were too good for him. Trust me if you are put your baby first, please whatever you do dont get an abortion because thats like homicide. The baby is still a baby. You can do anything cuz you are strong.

Hope this helps
