Answer 1

You need to talk with your family about this so you can come to a decision that is right for you and the baby. If you are definitely against abortion, don't let anyone talk you into it ok. It is your choice.
Maybe you should research adoption open and closed if you are not ready to be a mother. You could probably choose the adoptive family and have help with paying the bills. If you choose to have an open adoption you would receive pics of baby and stuff.
You may decide to keep the baby too, and that is fine, many young girls turn out to be successful mothers.
What ever you do, just make sure the decision you make is one you can live with for the rest of your life.
Sorry you are in this situation, but take care and good luck with everything.

Hello,

First thing you need to do is see a Obgyn, to make sure. If it were me I would evaluat what I'm going to be or want to be in the future. If it is something better and you have the means to take care of a baby and be the mother that the baby deserves then you can do it your a women and we are strong. Ask your self will the father be able to help, family support and how this will ultimatly change you. Think of all this then you will find answers. Adoption is always an option, I also think you need to think of all soulutions not just what is best for the baby. If you are only couple weeks along you can consider the other alternitive. I wouldnt ever abort a baby, but each person has there own life to live. I will tell you I have a 5 year old boy and coulnt imagine life without him. just think before you act and youll be fine. I wish you all the best.

I commend you for taking responsibility and not running to the abortion clinic! I think you need support, especially from your family. You need to really think about whether you can keep this baby. You should really consider adoption. It is a beautiful and selfless choice. There are open adoptions where you can have contact with the child. Here are some crisis pregnancy resources for you, they will help you:

Just know that whatever choice you make, God will help you through it sweetie. Since you know you are not going to have an abortion, you've got a while to think about it. There are lots of programs out there to help wether you choose to keep it or give it up for adoption. If you talk to a family member maybe they can help you weigh the pros and cons of either. Every community also has a parenthood clinic and I think that would be a good place to start. Give them a call so you can make an informed decision. Good Luck! God Bless.

Answer 5

well like the person before said whats done is done, i am glad you do not want to get an abortion so many young girls think its a quick fix and end up feeling guilty for the rest of their lives, if you feel that you can not provide for the baby then you could always consider adoption, there are lots of people out there who desperately want a child but can not have one of their own, then you would know your child would be given a caring and loving home, but there are lots of girls who have a child at 16 and just have to grow up quickly and take responsibility, it will be hard but you have to do what you feel is best for you and your baby, whatever you decide good luck!

Answer 6

Well if u want whats best for the baby i suggest you don't get an abortion, i can't stand the thought of my mama getting an abortion while she was pregnant with me, this sexy,intelligent, healthy young black male who's going places wouldnt even exist. Besides what if that baby you're carrying right now is the future president, or the next Malcolm X, or maybe even the next Bill Gates. Bottomline is do your best what can't kill you can only make you stronger, finish school and reach for the stars !

Answer 7

Number one DON'T quit school. That will only hurt you and your baby. College will be paid for to if you stay single so you can provide a decent life for your baby. And BELEIVE me working an 8-5 job sounds good but go to school! Get signed up through your state programs and get as much help as you need b/c it is out there to use. Learn from this raise this baby, go to school, and try not to become dependent on the state with more children till you are grown!!

Answer 8

If you seriously dont think you can raise this child and dotn agree with abortion I suggest adoption. There are many agencies that can help you through the pregnancy and counseling beyond. The fact you want whats best for this child is proof that you are growing up and concerned. Good luck to you.

Answer 9

First, you need to talk to your parents. Second, you need to talk to the father. Next, you need to see a doctor and get good prenatal care. If you do not have insurance, you should be able to get Medicaid to cover the expenses. Then you need to decide what you want to do with regard to the baby - keep it or put it up for adoption.

If you are interested in putting your child up for adoption, you should look into adoption agencies. My best friend put her son up for adoption 17 years ago. She looked at several agencies and picked the one that she was most comofortable with. She was allowed to go through resumes and interview perspective parents. She chose the couple she felt would be the best fit. She stays in touch with her son and his parents to this day and is still a part of his life. It worked out well for her.

Best of luck to you.

Answer 10

let your emotions calm down a bit before deciding anything. You have a while, just take care of yourself and think everything through. If you decide you dont want the baby, many families are looking to adopt. If you do want the baby, dont let anyone change your mind. Just take some time and think, you do not have to decide right now
best of luck to you, honey
