Should I give up my baby for adoption?
Ellie =D asked:
I am 19 years old and currently 8 weeks pregnant. The pregnancy was accidental. I am currently single as my bf broke up with me when I told him. I will not have an abortion but I don’t know if I am quite ready to look after a child. Should I let someone adopt my baby? (Please know I am not a slut or anything, I have only had sex once).

There are plenty of free councilling services available to help people make a massive life changing decision like this. Dont rely on yahoo to make a choice, see a professional. umbrella_girl

Well mistakes do happen and it’s very good that ur not getting an abortian if I were u I would put it up for adoption like in Juno where u just never see the baby again it would be better or the family the child and you
And u can help the people who can’t get pregnant themselves
I’d look into it =]

You are not a slut. Things happen, ok? And the question is, do you want to be part of your baby’s life? There is a thing called Open Adoption. It’s where you can give your baby to more mature and ready parents where they will let you still be part of your baby’s life. But, do what’s right for you. =] Lakerchic

okay no abortion i agree with you there i cant help it i am christian, but anywayif you dont think you can take care of the child then yes adoption is good. but one of my friends is a dopted and she doesnt know her real mother.we are in highscool and she cries over not knowing her real mom. so make sure if you go with adoption to keep in touch and visit when you can. it breaks my heart to see her cry from never knowing her real mom Tay lor

when i was 19, i got pregnant also. i decided to place my baby for adoption. it was definitely the hardest decision i have ever made, but it was definitely the best decision for me and my baby. i, like you, was not ready to be a mom yet and the father was really messed up and not ready either. i really thought hard about this decision. this isn’t just your life anymore, someone else is involved now that doesn’t have a voice. i felt, for me, the best thing for my baby was for her to be adopted by a family that was ready for a baby. i talked with a lot of people and weighed out my options and chose to do an open adoption. i have contact with the family and i have visited with them a few times.
this is definitely a personal decision that you will have to live with for the rest of your life, so take everyone’s advice with a grain of salt and don’t let anyone force you to do anything you don’t think is in the best interest of your child. and my advice, do what is best for your baby, regardless of what you decide.
it has been 7 years since i placed my baby and i still do not regret it. understanding
