I asked a question concerning previously about the possibility of me being pregnant. Now I am certain that I am. The only problem is that I am very confussed as what to do. I am 23 y/o and I already have one fatherless child and the possibility of me having another scares me but it goes against all my moral fibers to have and abortion eventhough I have already commited another sin. now I am confused and I would just like to get some feedback as to what some others would do?

Since you are already pregnant, please consider having your baby and maybe putting it up for adoption after he or she is born. Abortion can be devastating and you will regret that more then anything having to take the life of an innocent child.
The Lord will provide for you if you have the faith to believe it. Seek spiritual counseling from your pastor or someone in the church that you trust or a loyal and trustworthy friend.
The scriptures says, when we sin that we must confess our sins and repent. The LORD is always faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and he cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We all make mistakes, and are subject to emotional and fleshly baggage which sometimes lead us astray. But, our God is a forgiving and merciful God. He loves us unconditionally, and in spite of our shortcomings. Trust that he will be with you and that he will provide for you and your siblings.
Peace,
Hope

If you think you are commiting a moral sin, why have pre-marital sex in the first place? Seriously, not to be rude or anything, but adoption is a viable choice if you are opposed to abortion. There are a lot of couples/single parents out there that would love the baby you do not want/can't have/shouldn't have. Birth control after this pregnancy is over would be highly recommended. There are ways to prevent unwanted pregnancy - and adoption is a good choice, in my humble opinion, in this case.

If you know beyond a doubt that you don't want it or can not give it a good life, then you should consider giving it up for adoption. Hundreds of people would love to give your baby a home. Myself included, there is not a night goes by that I don't pray that god will make a way for me to be a mother, I have been trying for the past seven years, and I know there are others just like me. So think long and hard before you make a final decision. Your decision will effect several lives. Good luck and God bless.

First, Please Don't Get an Abortionl!! You have a lot to think about, and it would be wise to speak with some experts in this area. Find a Christian Crisis Pregnancy Center in your area. They will help you sort through your options and counsel you and support you.
If you take the "easy" way out with an abortion, you will ALWAYS regret it. Do the responsible thing, and make sure this baby has a safe happy home--either with you or with another family.

I do not believe in abortion either. and you have not commited a sin. you are 23 years old not 15. and if you can raise one child by yourself what is to say that you cant raise another. I see single moms all the time, your age. that do better than some families that have a dad in the picture. good luck

it'll be ok if you have lot's of friends to comfort you.
family can also be comforting.
just take control of your life.
another thing if you don't want to this to happen use protection and makle sure your with some one who truly does love you and will stick around even if your not together to help raise your child.
it takes 2 to tango it's partly your fault too but justa smuch as his because you weren't responsible enough to use protection.
think of the possible and impossible!!!
your mess you deal with it.
wishing you all the best and hoping it will all go well.
good luck

I am 22, and I had an abortion 2 days ago... and i regret it soo very much. I really would suggest you keep your baby...... though the words of a stranger don't really mean much.
I needed someone close to me, to tell me it was ok to keep my baby, to support me.... instead it was presumed I would have an abortion. I wish they had killed me at the same time I killed my baby.

Adoption might be the perceft choice for you. It is difficult, but a very mature and loving thing to do when you know you cannot best care for the baby.

I guess adoption never crossed your mind with either child?
