Or would you keep it? An open adoption is wheir you can see the child as it grows up, call it, visit and other things like that
I am NOT pregnant, just wanted to hear what other people had to answer.

    i would never be able to give my child up i would be reponsible nd raise it the best i could but if i absolutly had to give it up it would be 100% open adoption

    Thats a very difficult decision.
    I think i would most likely keep the baby. An open adoption would be very difficult to deal with.

    I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT. I MADE THE CHOICE SO I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT COMES WITH IT.

    I would raise the child even if I was teen, and give the guy the option of being in the child’s life. I also had a good support system too while growing up, and I think it’s a choice you and your bf have to make.

    I don’t know what I would do. That’s such a tough question. If I did decided to continue the pregnancy, I would either choose to keep it and have my parents help me while I finished college (although I see this as rather selfish) or give the baby up for closed adoption. I don’t think I would be able to handle the conditions of open adoptions. It would be weird to see someone else raising my child and knowing I had know say in it.

    Again, this is a tough question. And that’s why I’m not going to get pregnant until after college!

    It’s funny my friends slept over last night, and we were thinking about this. Right now, if we got pregnant (all almost 14) what we would do with the baby. I personally would keep him/her and try my hardest to raise the child the best possible. If it was an adoption, open would probably be my choice. Hey, if you couldn’t be the mother, at least be important in their life.

    If i got pregnant i wouldn’t give my baby up.
    i am 13 but its a baby…My baby…growing inside me. if i just gave it up like that i would feel terrible after carrying it for so long inside of me.
    Maybe some people wouldn’t be able to cope being young or whatever, an open adoption don’t sound too bad though, but all i can say is i wouldn’t be able to give up a baby no matter what.

    xx hope i helped. x

    i know i couldnt do that it would break my heart to have someone else raise my child.

  10. Trinity Says:

    I’m 17 and if I got pregnant now I’d keep the baby. I couldn’t handle having someone else raise my child even if I could see them. It would hurt to see my child call someone else mommy. I would just work really hard to provide my child w/ a great life. Being a young mom doesn’t mean you’re a bad mom. You can be a great mom and be young.

  11. Emma M Says:

    i dont think id be able to.. id probably get too conected to give her up

  12. Mimi Says:

  13. Aussie Dad Says:
