   no, that is YOUR baby! nobody has rights to it besides you!

   but you do need to talk to someone and see if you can move out under 18 without them stopping you. if shes trying to do stuff like that, i would go as FAR away from her as possible! cant wait to meet Kenleigh! 3/23

   Adoption is a temporary solution to a permanent problem.
   Abortion is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
   Keeping a baby you can’t afford and/or aren’t ready for is a formula for disaster

   Any idiot can have sex, but it takes much more to be a responsible, mature and financially stable parent. Age DOES matter! Maturity is gained through life experiences and life experiences are obtained over time.
   Getting knocked up doesn’t magically make you mature or a responsible adult!

   Girls 5yrs old and up can give birth and have been for centuries, but that doesn‘t mean they SHOULD! So don’t even think for a second that “age doesn’t matter”
   I would LOVE to know what 5yr old is a fit mother? Or even a 10yr old?!

   abortion is simply a medical procedure to remove a parasitic organism
   $200-$1,000 (abortion) will save your life/future, his life/future, and keep your parents from humiliation.
   Having a knocked up teen daughter is a failure on your parents.
   Do you realize that you’re a direct reflection of their ability to be good parents, right?
   People will judge THEM by what YOU do.

   Keeping a baby YOU can’t afford or take care of is NOT “brave”, “mature” or “responsible” but it is in fact irresponsible, selfish, and just plain dumb!
   If your PARENTS wanted another child then THEY would have had one. If you can’t care for a baby independently then you have NO business having one! Sometimes the “responsible” thing to do IS to have an abortion.
   Studies have shown that the MAJORITY of women/girls feel relief after abortions (I know I did!) and that guilt, complications, regret are NOT common.

   Did you know just giving birth in a hospital costs thousands of dollars alone?

   Basics for being a successful parent
   (the ideal situation)

   be at least 21 (25+ is best)
   be married (or have life partner)
   have at least $5,000 just for the baby
   both own cars
   both have careers (not just jobs)
   both have degrees

   I’m adopted, and the system is flawed! (I was lucky and got adopted into a wealthy and loving family, but that’s rare. Adoption is like dropping a pet off at the shelter, getting a family is NOT guaranteed) The world already has TOO many unwanted kids, so don’t choose adoption either. Chances are you’re kid will end up abused or on the streets anyways.
   I had an abortion when I was 18 and it was the best decision I ever made for myself! (I had plans and a future ahead of me) I challenge anyone to make me regret it too. SgtShamy

   she can’t put you or the baby up for adoption. you are a minor so she would be required to take care of you or either let you leave. but she cannot force you to give the baby up.

   And do not listen to SSG Shamy. She has no children at all and needs to be reported to her commanding officer for behaviour unbecoming a member of the military. She is obviously a very unhappy person who has nothing more to do with her time than to reply to questions in a section where she has no insight, or experience. And if I had her real name and rank I would file a complaint with the military myself for some of her absurd and demeaning answers on here. Your on deployment young lady, surely there is something to be done to keep you busy!! Ranna

   having a child makes you an emancipated minor in most states. she CAN kick you out of her house, and refuse to support you in any way. the only person who has a say in the placement of the child is you. if you can create a safe living enviornment, there is nothing your mother can do about it.

   No,she cannot. You being underage,you’re still the mother of the child. Only you and the father in agreement can place the child up for adoption.

   However unless you are emancipated,you must live with a legal guardian. If your mom were to give you permission to live with him,then that’s fine. Timid Women Rarely Make History

   No way hunny, you are pregnant not your mom, that is your child and you decide what happens weather to keep it or put it up for adoption. But remember if your under 18 your mom still has the rights to you because you are her child. But she cannot make these decisions for you. But she can still say that you cant move out yet. And you dont go to placement for being pregnant. But i will say there are homes for pregnant teens. Just make your decision that you think is best for you and mostly your child. Now another thing is you have to think about if you can support this child or not because you want this baby to have the best life possible. So just wiegh out the pros and cons. Be safe and Goodluck Kayla

   No, she can not, But as far as moving out I would talk to someone. Its your child. As for people saying age matters. Well it doesn’t define how good of a parent you will be. Im 17 and pregnant. Im more than ready for this baby. Good luck. mommy2be
