Should I keep my baby?

im 16 and pregnant should I keep the baby or give it up to another family?

I Don't agree with what any of these people are saying. This is your baby and both of your lives. You have to remember this decision is totaly up to you and no one can ever change that. If you feel like you can actualy give the baby away after carrying it for nine months, then you're a lot stronger than most people. I must stress that givig a baby away at birth is the hardest thing a lady can do after it being part of you and being totaly dependant on you whilest you watch it progress.
Keeping the baby could hold further education off for about a year If you plan to go? This is no problem as you can always going college later after having the baby and getting back on your feet. I personaly have many friends who have just turned 16 and already have their own children and each and everyone of them has managed extremely well, also they are very happy with the decision they chose. They love their children ever so much and now couldnt imagine their lives without them. Now all of my friends are attending college and have a part time job earning some money for themselves and their babies.
Having a baby at 16 does not stop you from leading a normal life and will not make anyone think any different of you sweetheart. If you're worried about money I think you can claim benifits at 16 so that shouldnt be a problem. get back to me if you need any further help!

**Remember this is totaly up to you!
I hope evreythings okay honey,
Love kloe xx

Adopt it out. Continue your education. You're not ready for a child. Trust me, there are tons of couples out there ready and DYING to have kids but sadly cannot. Your baby would make them unbelievably happy.

I agree I would'nt want the girl that had my baby to give it up but its best for the child and you at that age.

if yooh think yooh can handle da baby then keep wit but if yooh think yooh cant then give it to another family who can take care of it.

im sorry your to young to have a baby give her up to a nice family member

personally I agree with everyone here. give the baby up, it's too much drama for a 16 year old. but make sure you give it to a nice family!

I agrre give the baby up so it will get the attention it needs and you will be able to continue your education with no distracttions!

I would give the baby up. At 16 years old, there's just no way you can give a baby everything it needs and deserves.

I agree to give up the baby, I know you love her/him, but you shouldn't even be pregnant at 16, so another family should be happier with her, because I can tell you feel guilty.

I agree with lingerie_lady it is YOUR baby. You should keep it but, uh it is a heavy responsibility (sp?) Your already pregnant. Although besides that, you need to support
it and need a job and supplies. Thats kinda the hard part.

Good luck o:

I think that you should keep your baby because you are going to regret what you are doing as you get older then older when you get older you are goingt ot think is your first child and how you gave it up. KEEP THE BABY

Your baby is your baby I say you could keep it. If you didnt have the money I would give it up. OR if it had a bad father.

It depends on your support system, do you have family that can help you in the time of need? Raising a baby is a tremendous amount of work. Not to mention the amount and level of responsibility you will need. Are you mature enough to take on raising a child? If the decisions that you made got you in this situation, maybe you arent quite ready to be responsible for yourself and a baby. Where is the father? You need to look at all of your options before making any hasty decisions. I dont agree with teenage pregnacy not one bit, however I would be lying if I sat here and told you that giving your baby up is the best thing. There are lots of things to consider. What type of environment will you be bringing this baby into? Do you have a job? Will the father be in the childs life? Do you know who the father is? How old is he? What are you plans for the future? How ready are you to set aside your own needs and wants for this baby?

Sit Down and Talk to Someone... There are crisis centers, and family planning centers in all states. You might want to go in and talk to someone.

think it over you have a long time till the birth think everything over in you head talk to friends and family if you deside to give it up stay it touch it will hut a child to find they are adopted but if you keep in touch the child will know they had a loving family and will still know their mother was watchin over them to make sure of it

No I actually agree with the one about keeping the child. It will hurt you later on in the future about adopting the child. You wanted to have by haveing unprotect s*x so its time people realize responsibility. Its your child and you should take care of it because once the child grows up and ask its parents about its mother..what can they say..? That you gave up and could take care of your mistakes.
Life sucks but you have to face the consequences..dont you think?

OK. STOP SAYING YOUR GIVING IT UP PEOPLE. SHE ISN'T. SHE IS GIVINGTHE BABY
A BETTER LIFE IF SHE PUTS IT UP FOR ADOPTION. YOU HAVE DREAMS PROBLY. IF YOU WANT THEM PUT THE BABY UP FOR ADOPTION THEN. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR KID SO YOU WILL STILL HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHILD. THOUGH.

I PUT MINE UP FOR ADOPTION HERE IS A RECENT PIC OF HOW HAPPY HE IS... WE ALWAYS TALK. AND HE LOVES ME HE TELLS ME. I FEEL COMPLETE. I GOT MY DREAMS. A CHILD WHO LOVES ME AND A GREAT LIFE AS A LAWYER AND A FIANCEE

DO what YOU THINK IS RIGHT

I keep coming back to your question and still I feel unable to answer it supportively. I do agree with morgan 3125, if you decide to 'give up' your baby, that is not the correct term. You would be giving your baby and a couple a wonderful gift and everyone would be gaining something, therefore 'giving up' nothing. Although, you would experience a great loss, you would still gain some peace knowing you allowed your baby to have an incedible life filled with love. This does not mean I think you don't love your baby. In fact, I feel mothers who make a decision to allow their babies to be adopted love their babies very much. The love mothers feel for their child is what makes it possible to make such an unselfish decision. I don't know your circumstances so it is hard to advise you. I also have not been in a such situation like yours. I believe that you will make the right decision for you and your baby. The imortant thing that a lot of people have said is this YOUR child. I don't know you, but I would support you either way you decided. If you decide to bless a family with your gift, in a few years when you PLAN to have a baby, I have no doubt you will be the best mother and any child of yours would be lucky to have you for a mother. Good luck.

I got pregnant when I was 18, just after I graduated highschool. I decided to keep my son and it's the best choice I have ever made in my life. There is absolutly nothing wrong with giving a baby up for adoption, it is a wonderful thing and a lot of familys really do want a baby to love and will take wonderful care of it. But it just wasn't for me. Now I realize that there is a difference between 16 and 18, a big one at that. But if you have the support of your family, and you are aware that no it wont be easy but it will be worth everything you will go through, then keep the baby.
It is entirely your choice, as long as the baby is loved and content, thats all that matters. And remember, money doesn't buy love. So if you are worried about finances don't, there are lots of things available to you and your baby. And don't let anyone tell you you don't deserve them because you do.
You will figure it out sweetie. It's hard, I have been there, but you will figure it out. You probably already have. Take care

girl, wut a stupid question! Keep her/him! Do your parents know? how far along are u? u'll be a great mother, honey. keep the baby, and check out the song 'Papa don't Preach', by Madonna. ; ).

I Agree With lingerie_lady. Don't Do Somethibg You Would Regret In Life. My Cousin && Her Boyfriend Brother Was Adopted && They Felt Like They Were Not Loved A Lot Of Times,They Always Questioned Themselves.Think About You Would Feel Your Parents Gave You Up. Be Honest Now. But Keep Your Child.You Laid In The Bed Now It's TiME 2 Make It
