Yes, please if any of you feel that you are considering adoption please do so. There are so many of us who want babies and cannot have them.

I think that if you feel you cannot take care of yourself then it would be a good idea to give your baby up for adoption. I am also 18 and pregnant. I am not worried I won't be able to take care of my baby because I know I will. I don't have doubts.. I did this and now I'm going to do everything in the world to make sure my baby has everything. I already care too much about him/her to even consider adoption. If you have doubts about keeping the baby I think you should get someone outside of your family to council you on the pros and cons of being a mother. Everyone is different some young mothers are ready and some are not. There are many nice couples out there who want to have babies but cannot concieve children. If I was a single 15 year old that did not even graduate high school I would most defanitely consider adoption. It's not just about you. It's not just about "aw, I'm going to miss my baby." Think about the baby's future. Are you going to be able to provide that baby with clothes, education, & everything it needs to be successful and their own life. Because this is excately what it is about their life.

LIFE IS HARD PEOPLE! Don't let your mistakes define who you are. We ALL make mistakes! Your parents have, your grandparents, your uncles, aunts, cousins, so on and so forth. Mistakes are made to help us learn from them. Learn what to do and what NOT to do. It's not to make you feel bad or let you know how horrible of a person you are. That's your initial thoughts and feelings because that means you know that it was right to do or say. Everyone of you just stay encouraged. No matter who's giving you a hard time or talking down to you. Use their negative energy and turn it around as positive ammunition? to want to do better, achieve better, want better for you and your child.

Im sixteen and i have a two month old baby. I have dropped out of school and live with my mom. She supports me and the baby, and im scared if it dont go back to school soon, i wont be able to provide my son with a good life that he deserves, he is my whole life and i would do anything for him. But its so hard to go to school when i have nowhere for my son to be while i go to school. My son was born in mexico, and people there are very different. They come up to me saying "your baby is soo cute" but here in the united states it is very different because here its more like people staring at me because im so young to have a baby. It is very hard, but i love my son with all of my heart, and its all worth having him in my life.

hey i thought about adoption to but then yeah how well you feel when they take your baby girl or baby boy away. Think about yeah you'll be able to hang with your friends but how do u think your friends are going to feel about you when they knew you had a baby they wont think of you as a cool kid trust me. Keep your baby its through ur pregnacy you'll grow attached to it and then you'll grow love to throw that away is hard that little heart beat is what u created take care of it.

i think she should keep the baby because adoption is the easy way out for her

i can understand what you are going through. i got pregnant when i was 17. i didn't know what to do. i didn't know if i was going to keep my child or not. but i had to she was my own blood and it wasn't her fought she was being brought into this world. being a teen mother is very hard. its my senior year and Im still having fun but with my child. regret your child, i dont regret my child i just wish i could have had her later in my life. my child is such a blessing. God bless you and be strong,hold on and keep on going.

Well Taimyra i am 15years old and well im not sure your going to read this ... but let me tell you whats on my mind im pretty sure most of the comments that are telling you to put your baby for adoption are ADULTS there always thinking for us trying to do stuff for us well you know what i think they should let us learn from our mistakes it was your choice to have s** with the father of your child so thats not the babys foult on my opinion i believe you should keep it because if you give him for adoption theres always going to be those flash backs to when u gave life to him/her your always going to have him/her in your mind and you never know when in the future you might run up with him/her somewere and he/she will ask you the question "WHY??" *"WHY WOULD YOU GIVE ME UP FOR ADOPTION" *"WHY WERE YOU NOT THERE WHEN I FIRST WALKED" *WHY WERE YOU NOT THERE WHEN I FIRST TALKED" tipical questions i know that if you keep your baby is going to be hard but you will always manage to over come those Obstacles you dont have to quit school theres choices out there and people that will help you...... but like i said at the beginning thats my opinion im sure that the choice you make is the right one because you made it ....just make sure to think about it twise before.... =] well BEST OF LUCK

The best thing for you to do is give your baby up for adoption. Right now you can not take care of a child. I truly believe you are not ready. There is a family out there willing to take of the child you are carrying. Your mistake is someone else's gift.

Look I know what you are going through. I respect any descesion that you make but let me just tell you this. I was 18 when I got pregnant and my daughters father left me because of it. I was a honors student and I never expected this to happen. But it did, and my family was very disappointed. EVERYDAY the mistakes I made haunt me. With that being said my daughter is the best thing that happend to me. She gives me a reason to wake up everyday and make my life better for myself and for her. At the end of the day is doesn't matter that I am a single mom, or that I don't have any friends, or anything like that. I am thankful that I have the support of my family, and even so, it is still not easy. But my little girl is worth it, all of it, all the shame, embarassment, regret, pain, ALL of it. You will see when you hold your baby, you will want to give him/her the world. You can be an amazing mother if you want to be and are willing to sacrafice your life as you know it, because it will change all of it will change. You will realize that things that were once important to you are not anymore, and you will worry about things you never worried about before. Your child will be the most important thing to you. I am no in school to become a medical assistint, and I am almost done, and you know what? I am proud of myself. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it, because you can. You will get through this part. What is done is done, you just have to accept it, and
