HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION:
Say if I were to get pregnant tomorrow (I’m 16), what are the pro’s and con’s of keeping the child or giving it up for adoption? Termination of the pregnancy is not an option. The father is a good friend, not someone who I would, the situation allowing, marry, but he would be there to support me and be there for all appts and such. What would you do? I have heard that putting the baby up for adoption is harder on the mother, what with post partum depression and separation depression and such. Opinoins?
Really, I promise I’m not pregnant haha. This is just an area of study that I’m interested in. But sadly, it IS all too common amongst teens all across the country, so I am just trying to understand it all. Thanks
