hey there. you already know my opinion on abortion. We all have opinions enough said. What ever the out come if you are preg. please keep positive. Even an unborn baby can feel your sadness, your stress, you love. When babies are born they remember that love or that hate. It's the difference in happy babies and unhappy babies. They all cry, some even get colic and that's not what I'm talking about. I mean overall. My cousin got preg when she was 17. The dad didn't support mom. Her father was not happy about it and her mom was livid. She did go to church though. A single mom (divorced) who was older took her to all her appointments and was the person she had in the room durring the delivery. This lady was my cousins life line. Eventually her mom forgave her. The baby was beautyful. It was a tough road. She married a man who didn't mind that she had a small child. He wanted it that way actually. He wanted a child small enough to know him as daddy. He didn't want children of his own. After raising this child. He and she now have 3 that are biologically his, plus the one that has known him as daddy forever. Things can work out. I know it feels bleak and hopeless.
But time does heal wounds.

By the way the DR cannot force you to have an abortion, just like they cannot force you to have prenatal care. It's your body an no matter how hard your mom may push you into things you have the final say. You can tell the DR. my mom signed the necessary papers, but I don't want an abortion. Adoption is an option. It would be painful personally but it a very selfless gift. Giving a better opportunity for a brighter future because the baby's needs come first.

What ever you decide it IS your choice. Abortion, adoption, or keeping the baby. You know you can keep it. It will be difficult but you can give that baby the love you never had, the love you feel you deserved, all the love it needs. A childs love is uncontitional, it is the most wonderful love there is.

My thoughts are w/ you as you are coming up on tough decisions. You might not be preg. Let us know what you find out.
