Well, first off, its good to see you have your head on straight and told the people who need to know right off the bat.

That is rather unfair of your mother, but do you have any place else where you can stay for atleast 9 months?

Adoption is a wonderful thing if you can't keep the child but want to carry it to term.But its also not easy, it can be an emotional rollercoaster, but you will get through it.

I don't know what kind of advice you are looking for...But if you have questions feel free to ask

i;m 18 preg with my first, 14 weeks almost =)

how old r u ? How far?

Good luck, theres plenty of support here for you

Yeah you do seem to have your head on straight.. But would you be able to have a baby and let somebody else mothering it and the fact of knowing you have a child out there? Personally I couldnt do it. But if you can great.

But if you decide to keep it to yourself can you reallt get everything it needs? Do you have time for it?

If no to that then would abortion be an answer? Then you would know you could have had a baby but you decided to abort it and its not there. I personaly wouldnt be able to do it either.

But yeah its your decition and you really should think about it, dont just toss it to the back of you mind, though I doubt you will...

Anyways best of luck to you.

To oh_mommy....She didn't say anything about abortion, so why even bring it up? Just because you couldn't give your baby up for adoption doesn't mean she can't. It takes a strong and wonderful person to do that. Maybe she realizes she can't give a child everything it needs, but there are a million people out there who can't have children, who would love one.
To msktty... You sound like a very smart person and a wonderful human being. I think the choice is yours, don't listen to what your mother is saying. I wish you the best of luck in everything.

A woman who would kick her child out of the house for getting pregnant doesn't have any right being called a mother. You can make it on your own if you wanted it bad enough.

Adoption is a wonderful choice though.

Ive heard of open adoptions where the adoptive parents support the mom through her pregnancy like medical bills and a small allowance to feed herself well and stuff. If your serious about adoption you should look into it there might be somewhere you can stay during your pregnancy that will also help you choose the adoptive parents

Hi i'm ashlee and i'm due 6-29 with a baby girl :) I told my mom right away also I guess I was to scared to not tell!
Your mom sounds nuts why would she kick you out during the pregnancy but let you move back in when you have the baby!
Well I have heard of places that provide free housing for women who have no where to go during thier pregnancy, maybe you can call your city gov and ask where those places are nearest to you? What do your boyfriends parents think?

My mom told me today if a parent kicks you out of a place they arnt good parents and that they just tell you if you get pregnant your out because that way you are scared to have sex, but that dosnt always work out eh?...

And I said the stuff about abortion and adoption and keeping it so if she thinks about it she can realise if she can or cant do some of the things, though I can tell she probably wouldnt even consider abortion, and I congradulate her for not just trying to rid herself of her actions and the outcome of it like some people do.

Okay...

Well, my parents and I talked last night and they won't kick me out (whew) and actually were quite supportive. They said they'll help out, but they don't think it's there responsibility...

They sort of argued the adoption part and kept mentioning keeping the baby, especially if I end up marrying my boyfriend someday (they're mad at him now, but deep down they like him). I think they really hope we stay together, especially now...

I'm 16, my boyfriend's turning 19 on saturday. He's supportive and will help out however he can with whichever decision I make. He don't hate me for this 'cause he knows it's not all my fault (i mean, hello? Lol). I can smile a bit now, considering my parents (well, mom and step-dad, my real dad hasn't said a whole lot since) aren't freaking anymore.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant.

Wow im 16 and im 30 weeks pregnant....My parents freaked out at first but their good now...Actually really supportive...Im keeping my baby...I wouldnt be able to live wonderin wat hes doin evry moment of my life...But watever u decide is better...Good luck !

Im happy they came around for you youre gunna need their support good luck and congrats!

well congragulations :) i'm glad that your parents are now supportive (thats usually how it goes). Whatever decision you make make sure that it is one that .Y.O.U are the most comfortable with happy about. You shouldn't feel forced to keep this baby if that is what you choose, or feel forced into adoption, or abortion, etc. This choice is one that you are going to have to live with forever so make sure you do what is best for you (and baby). Congragulations again, keep us updated.

Thats good they arent kicking you out. I dont know how some parents can do that to their child when its the time they need support the most. But yeah they probably just needed some time to come round to the idea of you having a baby young.
Goodluck.

Glad to hear things went well with your parents. Are they willing to help you if you kept the baby...Its understandable for them to want to keep their (first?) grandchild. I'm sure whatever you chose they will support you, but atleast now you know that adoption isn't your only option (ie you could keep it if u wanted)
best of luck =)

Hello everyone again. Thanks for all the support. It's really a good feeling knowing there are others out there who'll talk about it.

My dad is still letting it sink in... I live with my mom and step-dad and they are both supportive of any decision I make (and they as well as most people I talk to, including my grandma and a neighbor-lady friend want me to keep it). They said they'll help me work it out no matter how things fall, etc.

The neighbor-lady I talked to had a similar experience but gave her child up for adoption and regrets it all the time (now having 3 other kids). So it's something to think about...

Well, it's a very tough decision. There are a lot of websites you can go to to find potential adoptive parents if you want an open adoption. When I was pregnant with summer, I considered adoption and I was referred to Adoptionletters.Com/ checki it out, but don't feel rushed to make any kind of decision. It's a hard one. Make sure you are completely devoted to whatever you decide.

Hi I want to say thank you for being responsible about your decision. Im having problems getting preggy and have thought about adoption alot. Girls out there that can easily get preggy and then look towards abortion likes its no big deal make me sick. (please no one get mad thats just my out look) its not the babys fault. What about us the ones who dream of being parents but can't. Its people like you that make our dreams come true. Loving your child means giving them what they deserve and from what it seems you will do exactly that. Whatever your out come good luck. And keep us in touch. :wink:

Hey,how have things been going? U haven't been on in a few ...
