Hey Taimyra: I'm still thinking about you. This is an addendum to my comment I left you an hour, or so, ago. Don't think of your pregnancy as so hard! ENJOY IT!!! And, remember, it will all work out, and you have your Grandma's support. You have a life inside of you! WOW! Not everyone can do that! You keep that gift that God gave to you! Many, many, young women and girls who gave their children for adoption weren't able to have anymore! So that's really sad! Above all, don't do anything goofy like going to an adoption support center! They are just what it says: they support adoption! There's plenty of other groups, in hospitals, where you'll meet moms like yourself and you can build your own network and parent your children together. All mothers, no matter what age, are afraid during their first pregnancy... noone teaches you how to be a mom! KEEP THAT GIFT! DON'T LET ANYONE TAKE HIM, OR HER, AWAY FROM YOU! ENJOY!!!

Taimyra: I know many, many, young women who lost their children to adoption, and all of them regret it. These adoptions occurred at a time when it was an extreme disgrace and shame on the family to be pregnant and unmarried. Check out blogcast: caleighbrookswatchingthewatchers.com It may be helpful! I'm just telling you about the loss that hundreds of moms have experienced. Life is so short, you can always be a kid even when you're an adult. What if you never have any other children!? Then, are you going to adopt? Kind of ridiculous. I think you should accept the gift that God had given you. There's plenty of help out there for young moms today!

I am 23 now and have two children. I got pregnant when I was 19 and in college. I was super blessed to have an awesome fiance that I am married to now, who helped me and encouraged me to stay in school while being a mom. I am 1 year away from a college degree, and I am applying to veterinary school in October! I won't lie...it is hard, but I couldn't imagine life without my children. You are a beautiful person, and can you imagine how beautiful your baby will be! Trust me..it is SO much fun when they start smiling and laughing! They make you just melt! I look at it like this... God has blessed you with a child for a reason. He knows that you are ready and able, and use this challenge as an opportunity to better yourself! My children have changed my life definitely for the better! Don't worry...once your baby is here everything will fall into place!!!

Hey girl, I'm 18 years old and i'm 18 weeks pregnant. Most of my friends already have two kids and their my age! I know, crazy! It's not that big of a deal here where i'm from [Las vegas,NV] I don't think you should give your baby up for adoption. You will know what to do when your a mother. It'll come in naturaly. You didn't use protection, and you knew what that could lead to, so why should someone else take care of you baby? Don't look for the easy way out. Take care of what's yours. You'll be a great mom.

Hey Girl........i honestly Think If You're Not ready to Have a baby Adoption is the best Option but it's really gon be hard..because you're going to carry that baby for 9 mnths and than once you hold that baby you're going to feel a bond and it's gon be hard but honestly I 'm really glad you made this video because Adoption is the option for those who think about Abortions.......Amen To You and God bless.....Thank YOU , You inspired some many young girls....:)

All I have to say is whats done is done! You cant turn back! Why don't you decide to not have sex again untill you are married! My son is thirteen years old and he has very strong beliefs about being a virgin when he gets married. It is possible! People think that he is weird! But he does not care! I wish you all the luck! May God bless you! Find a strong youth group in a church to get connected to! No one has the right to judge you! We need to love people where there at! God loves you! Pray and ask God what decision you should make about the baby! Your beautiful!
