i had a baby at the age of 15 wat should i do with her?!?

Answer 1

Ask your parents to help teach you.

Answer 2

It seems to me that if you need to ask what to do with your baby, then maybe someone else should be caring for her. I'm not saying this to be mean, but you're a baby yourself, and while I know you hate hearing that, it's very true. You've just begun life yourself. Give both of you a chance and give her up for adoption. It will be the hardest thing you've ever done, but probably the best thing you could do for her. There are plenty of people out there who would be WONDERFUL parents and can't have babies, I know quite a few of them. You need the opportunity to live your life, grow up, go to college, get a career... then if you want to have babies it can be a decision, not a suprise. Your daughter deserves the chance to be raised by people who can provide a mature, stable environment for her, at 15 that's just not a possibility for you. And while I'm sure you've heard this already... BIRTH CONTROL!!! I in no way condone teenage sex, but it's a fact of life these days, all I can say is that if you're going to do it, then YOU need to assume the responsibility of protecting your body. Optimal combination for someone your age is a 10 year IUD and CONDOMS!!! ALWAYS use condoms, pregnancy isn't the only consequence of unprotected sex.

Answer 3

I am an adoptee, and also a mother. Believe me, if you want your baby to have a good life, and you're 15, think about giving her up for adoption. Try an open adoption, which is keeping in contact with your baby's adoptive parents. This will help both of you by:

1. Giving her the attention she needs - because let's face it, you still want to be a teenager, don't you? Babies are hard, and it's not all about you any more - it's entirely about them!!!

2. With an open adoption, she will be able to keep her identity as your blood relative. You may even be lucky enough to find someone who is willing to let you visit her from time to time.

Raising a child, when you haven't been raised fully yourself, is really hard! Think about what you want for your baby, and then think about whether or not you can give it to her. :)

For all of the other people who have answered this question, and said that you should ask your parents for help... think about it... this is not her parents' child! This is her child!!! There is being selfish and being unselfish, and assuming that your parents should be the ones to take care of your baby is not the most unselfish thing in the world. You may have loving parents, but it is not their job to raise their daughter's child.

Answer 4

If you have to ask, you should give her up. The adoption process now for infants takes a much shorter time and often they go immediately as a foster child to the couple who is next on the waiting list for adoption. They have already been screened and there are still surprise visits for a short time to make sure this is the right couple.
You need to think if she would be better off with you or one of these other couples. Then if you decide to keep her get ahold of social services because there are programs for you and I encourage you to use all of them.
Good luck!

Answer 5

I think the best option for you is to give it up for adoption. I dont think a 15 year old is mature enough to have a child. Your a child yourself. If you do decide to keep it remember that your teenage years will be over. You will be taking care of a baby instead of hanging out with your friends.

Answer 6

dont be selfish the BEST thing you can do for the Baby is to place it for adoption... you cannot afford to give it a good start in life - kids need stabilty of having a parent who has secure job and owns a home with a yard...

ironically the BEST thing you can do for yourself is to give the Baby for adoption so you can grow as a person and not be tied down so young.. wait til you are married and settled before you have another kid - then get your tubes tied - the world is plenty over populated as it is

Answer 7

Adoption. If for no other reason than YOU have the right to be a teenager. YOU have the right to be selfish and shallow and go to the mall, and whatever you want.

Don't go straight to "middle age". I'm 42 and have plenty of money and it is STILL WAY HARD to parent a child. Parenting is tiring, boring, exhausting, frustrating, and FOREVER. My child is only 5 years old. I love her, but man it is hard to be a parent 24/7.

Answer 8

you do want to keep her right ?

Answer 10

difficult question .if your parents were prepared to help you look after the baby it would be the best thing .

later in life you will want to see it or anounce that you are the mother ,
this always causes problems if it was adopted

personally i think your mother should help untill you are more capable and financially more independent before you assume parenthood.
this is eventually always better if it stays with in the family

Answer 11

I know that sometimes it's hard and you just want to run away, but trust me it gets better. If you're experiencing post partum depression, tell somebody there is help for you out there. Just remember it won't last forever, but the love you share between you and your baby will. In the long run you will be so so so happy that you kept your baby. I know I am
