I am with sea here. You have to make the best decision you can for yourself. This is a decision that only you can make. I know we are not permitted to speak on political issues, but I am very pro-choice. All choices. Please make yourself informed on all choices out there available to you. I know that you have a negative view on adoption but these days the ball is in your court, you have so much more control over who would adopt this child, please do not dismiss it out of hand. Abortion is not selfish, if you're really not in a place that you can raise a child this is a safe alternative that will allow you to have children when you are ready for them. By the same token, I've never met anyone that was truly ready to have a child. You might surprise yourself, and discover that this accident is the best thing that could ever happen to you. Like I said, pro-choice.
This is an extremely difficult decision and not one to rush into. Being the mother of three sons, I would hope you would take the father's opinion into concideration. HOWEVER, and I cannot stress this enough, the final decision is yours. You are the one that must live with the consequences of your decision and you must do what you think is best for yourself. Making a decision based on another party would be a horrible mistake. The only person that you can depend is yourself. Circumstances change for better and worse, you may end up having more help than you imagined and you may end up doing this on your own. So if you're true to yourself, you really have made the best decision you possibly could. I wish you the best of luck and happiness.
