I'm havin a really hard time with being prego. I'm 24 weeks and I'm not excited at all I try to be but its hard. I jus turned 21 and got my own place only to lose one of my jobs so now I don't make enough to support even myself so my mom pays what I can't. I am goin to be a single mom and don't really know where the dad will stand when its here he goes to apts but other than that he don't care it seems like. I'm stressed to my max and very depressed and cry myself to sleep a lot. I want the best for my kid so I was thinkin about adoption cuz I feel like I won't be able to give it what it deserves if I can't even support myself. But then I feel like its jus a cop out. Idk what to do anymore.

    I would say if its what you really feel is best, it might not hurt to look in to it... they have counseling for adoption and idk b/c I never faced that option but it might even be mandatory. There's all types of help out there, and the dad if he is not involved can pay child support which can help financially.
    Maybe do some research, get some counseling, and get all of your options laid out on the table. Adoption is not a "cop-out" if you feel it is best for the child. There are different types of adoption open and closed ao like I said learn about each and get a few options out there for you. Good luck :)

    I am sorry ur having such a rough time right now and it sound like u have a supportive mom..have u spoken with her about this..moms usually gives the best advice. With that said adoption is not a cop out at all..it actually takes a strong and selfless person to make such a decision. It is completely ok if don't feel like ur ready to take on this huge responsibility. My piece of advice is what ever decision u make (keeping it; abortion or adoption) have no regrets. The decision u make should always be considered the best one u could have made given ur circumstance. You are stronger than u think..please stay encouraged!

    Take care of your baby. I was 16 when I got pregnant and neverrrrrrr thought about adoption. You can handle it. I am 21 now and I'm single mom.

    I think that adotion is incredibly unselfish and a very heroic thing to do in certain circumstances. You should find an agency to get more information. There are plenty of people out there who would do anything for a baby.

    I am NOT soliciting or anything, but I have two dear friends who have been trying to adopt a baby for years. Once they get one, that child will never have to want for a thing in its life. She has the nursery ready and they are just waiting. It has a crystal chandellier hanging from the ceiling :)
