I am 23 years old, had sex out of wedlock w/ my boyfriend of 4 months. I was on the pill but was taking antibiotics that I had no idea hinder the pill and got pregnant. My boyfriend didn’t love me and left. One minute I feel like I would die for this child and do everything to take care of it. I have a 25K a year job, two and a half years college experience and a very supportive family. I feel that I could emotionally and financially be there for this child even if its on my own.
Then, the next minute the idea of me being a single parent comes crashing down on me. I fear loneliness, and I worry if I’m strong enough for this situation. After all I was not prepared for this. But I also don’t know if I could handle the emotional toll of an adoption. I am literally on a rollercoaster here. I am still in touch w/ my ex’s parents who are devout Christians and believe that it’s in the childs best interest to be in a two parent home w/ parents who are ready.
I just hate the discrimination I am getting from his family now that I am on my own with this. I understand that two parents usually are better than one, but I don’t think statistics mean Sh_t when it comes to the individual. Why am I being pulled in so many directions? Is this a sign I am not ready or is this normal? I would LOVE to hear from mothers who gave up their child for adoption and see what they have to say.
Thank you for your belief in me "justnuissance" but I said adoption not abortion. I am pro life.
this is where one person , not married , adopts a child ( just in case you a need clarification).
Imagine this person is financially stable , has a good house or apartment and has a wonerful supporting family. Also this person works at a daycare so she can bring her child to work with her.
Please give me reasons on wh , if so to you , its wrong/not a good idea. I think i might consider it when im old enough and stable in my life.
lol never said i was going to stay single my whole life
thanks for all your answers although you guys dont have to b mean to me about it , just question.
7rin , i was adopted and put into a very very loving family. I know what adoption is about , thankyou. My birthmother was 13 when she had me
Why do women have abortions?
74% say having a baby would interfere with work, school, or other responsibilities.
73% say they cannot afford to have a child.
48% say they do not want to be a single parent, or have relationship problems with husband or partner.
Less than 2% say they became pregnant as a result of rape or incest.
People are always using the ‘dad raped the 12 year old girl and the baby will ruin the girls life’ case. less than 2 % of females in america abort FOR THIS REASON. Giving an INNOCENT life up for adoption for all the reasons listed would SOLVE all the problems listed. Don’t you agree?

actually i intend on adopting one chinese baby, and 2 of my own to that comment calling me a hypocrite 
I have 2 sons and I would love a daughter so I think adoption is a thought…tell me what do you think?
I’m 31-year-old single female and it’s time for me to have a child, except pregnancy is not really an option right now. So I’m looking at the adoption route. I would prefer a healthy infant. I’m looking at Holt International, simply because they are close to my home in Oregn, but I was wondering if there were other agencies I should consider. The option for singles seem limited. I do not think Holt makes up all the rules, but I was wondering if other agencies had other plans?
