I just want your opinion…
I don’t care how mean it is. I just want to know what other people around the world think.
I m 15 I m 19 wks pregnant with a girl Angelos (Greek for angel)
I had failed birth control that’s why I m in this spot.
I was going to put my baby up for adoption. But the family that was going to take her has backed out.
I m not in it for the money the money would of gone to the mum and dad of my baby.
I m 15. People say I should just keep her…
Just what’s your opinion on what I should do? I m just wanting to know as i know i have 20 more wks but just so much going through my head
Answer:
looking after a baby is the hardest job in the world…
but..
i wouldn't change it for the world. once you have your baby and hold her i really don't think you can just give her to someone else. i don't know your situation but your age is no excuse in your situation right now. there is alot of support for teenage mums.
i would never give my baby for adoption never
Answer:
you should keep her, as long as you can still finish school, maybe your parents, or another family member can help you out.
or maybe look for another couple to adopt your daughter.
Answer:
at 15 you need the support of your parents for this i cant imagine giving away a baby im 6 weeks pregnant with number 3 and while mine was a complete surprise for both myself and my partner and the shock is still setting in i would not ever think of giving my baby away,
if your having sex then your old enough to take responsibility and at 15 you should not of been having sex i would talk to your parents about this
Answer:
OK, first of all, whatever YOU decide to do:
PLEASE DON'T ABORT.
If you feel that you want to keep her .. keep her.
If you feel you want to put her up for adoption .. put her up for adoption.
-Edit-
See, you'd make a great mom! You're already thinking like one! 
Congratulations on the baby .. you seem like a very mature young woman .. if you feel that you are able to raise the child, go for it! You sound like you would be a wonderful mother!
good luck to you! and God bless!
Answer:
You should keep her.
Im 17 im 32 weeks pregnant. (:
it will be very hard, itl be worth it though.
I wouldnt be able to choose adoption, i hate to not know where my baby is and not know if she is safe or not. I just couldnt do it.
I could never abort my baby either.
When it happnd to me and i was deciding what to do, i thought about it all day every day but it never got any easy and no matter what any one said it never made my decision any easier.
Its the hardest thing ever and either way you will think about it everyday.
Just think of that, you cant get her back if you change your mind.
No matter what she is your child.
Think about it, dont let any one else make that decision for you.
What about the father?
Good luck.
Answer:
I feel aborting or adoption would be like losing a part of yourself,( you dont go through 9months of agony for nothing)
I think you should keep the baby, surely your family will help out, and if your in australia you can get heaps of help from the community centres and things to, and on top of that there is heaps of occasional child care centres that only cost like $2 a day( regardless of your income amount), that will look after a child from 6weeks old, theres also heaps of young mothers groups.
Answer:
If you still want to give her up I would find someone else. There are a lot of people that cannot have babies and would love to have yours.
Answer:
You are a little young, but that isn't a problem. And I agree with the person that said you are already thinking like a mommy!:)
This choice is up to you in the end. There are adoption agencies that could help you find another family if you feel that is the best for the child.
But if you can raise it in a loving and supportive home, that is great too! Being a young mom doesn't mean a bad mom, as so many people try to make it out to be. (I'm glad to see so many supportive people responding on this one. Usually you get mean comments!) I was 19 when I became pregnant, still often looked at as a young mom. Having a child matures you, in most cases, and you will more than likely rise to the occassion.
You can still finish school if you have help. And that little girl will just make everyday even better for her mommy!
It is up to noone to tell you what you SHOULD do, but offer options about what you COULD do. And no one answer is RIGHT unless it is the one you feel is best.
Good luck sweetie!
Answer:
You've already named her. 15 isn't an ideal time to have a baby, but that doesn't mean you can't be a great mother.
What do you feel in your heart? Could you really give her up for adoption and be ok with that? Or would you spend the rest of your life regretting it?
If you feel you are capable of loving your daughter and caring for her, then you should keep her. If you feel unable to do that you should give her up for adoption.
Whatever you decide your going to have to live with that choice for the rest of your life. Follow your heart. Trust your instincts.
Answer:
you may find that over the course of the pregnancy you will grow attached to your baby.every time you get kicked you will smile.after going through labor all you will want to do is hold the little thing that gave you so much pain.you may find it very hard to give the baby up for adoption after you have her.
Answer:
I think you can totally do this. So you don't have all the confidence yet that you can? Well I'm 26 and married with a stepdaughter and I'm 37 weeks along and just now started to feel like I'm capable of handling motherhood…like about a week ago. It's natural to feel like you don't know how you're gonna be able to do it. But you will. You already love her, obviously. You have named her, gone to the trouble to find a nice family for her. Those are choices made in love. You can do this. At 15 you will need a lot of extra support from family, friends, help from agencies perhaps but it will be worth it. Because your bond with her is permanent and your circumstances are only temporary.
Answer:
If you were to adopt her out,& im sure the loving parents to be would be 4eva gratefull could you make the dissision to not be able to contact or let her know that your the biological mother until she (when older)is ready, if ever.Im not trying to sway you choice in any way but (i think it is great that you are giving a child to a mum & dad who cannot even experience pregnancy or even childbirth)You do relise that you may need counselling,But anyway whatever your desision,you will be doing the right thing either way.Good luck hope it all works out
