		<description>I was in this situation 5 years ago when I was 17. I chose to keep my daughter and thank God I did. I love that little girl to pieces!!! I worked hard to get things in order though. I was determined to be finished with school by the time I gave birth and I was. I finished 6 months early and enough time to get my house in order before she came. I walked with my class at graduation and my daughter was there. Her grandma made her a little cap and gown that was adorable. I know there's never a day that I regret keeping my beautiful Liyah.</description>

		<description>Neither, I was pregnant at 18 and decided on keeping the baby because abortion is a horrible thing, especially when you research the whole procedure. And i would grow too attached to the baby to even consider adoption. But sadly i had a miscarriage. Now i'm 21 ans may be pregnant (not sure yet) with the same guy's baby, my boyfriend since I was 15.</description>

		<description>I`m 18 years old , and I got pregnant at 17. Today, I`m 40 weeks and 2 days. Being pregnant has totally turned my life around for the better. I was off on the wrong road, and when I found out I was pregnant I had to stop doing the things I was doing. I had somebody else to think about, a living human being growing inside of me. A baby doesn't stop your life completely, it just gives you someone to love, and another person you have to care about. However, it all depends on how much support you have. I am very lucky to have a very supportive family, who have been helping me through this whole pregnancy, and will continue to do so. I am very against abortion. There is just something about terminating an innocent childs life over your mistake. If you feel as if you cannot raise a child, and that you are not ready, give him/her up for adoption so that somebody who is unable to have such joy in their life, will be able to have their precious baby. 
I hope this helps, :)</description>

		<description>I was 17 when I got pregnant with my oldest daughter, and I kept her. The thought of giving her up never even entered my mind. I love my kids more than anything in the world, and I can't imagine being without either one of them. I think that even though I had my first child when I was young, my children have had a wonderful life thus far. That's just me though.</description>

		<description>It is hard to take care of a new born at such an early age. You need to finish school as well. I would go for an adoption. Hopefully, your baby will get good, caring parents that are mature enough to feed, cloth, and love a baby.</description>

		<description>adoption

Even if you are not ready for a baby and you decide not to have an abortion...I am sure that there are many many people out there who would love to have your baby.  

You are giving those people a chance to have their own family. You will feel sad, but soon you get over it and you will be happy that the baby has a great home.</description>
