Alot of well-intentioned people may have alot of conflicting advice for you. Some may say it is your body and you should have an abortion. It may seem like the only easy way out but it's not.

Abortion is no longer about controling just your body. Now you have 2 bodys to think of and knowing that you ended your baby's life is a horrorable feeling and physical problems are more common then people think. Never ever allow anyone to talk you into or force you into a descion that will change your life forever. This will remain with you for the rest of your life. Not theirs. The positive life giving options that are open to you are: Adoption, Temporary foster care, or Keeping the child with you or family members.
Adoption is a permanent legal process which places your baby with adoptive parents who will raise this little one as a part of their own family. Some states have a period after placement in which a mother can change her mind.
There are 2 parts to adoption, first the mother and, in some places, the father must sign a consent allowing the baby to be adopted. Next the couple adopting must apply and be approved of by a government approved agent. None should push this descion on either the mother or the father, it should be one that you both make after serious discussion, wieghing all logical options.
It is natural to feel sad and regret after placing your baby, but have faith and security in that you will have made the best possible choice for your little one.
There are 15-20 couples per healthy newborn that are just waiting to become adoptive parents. Many are even waiting for a handicapped baby to love, and some will never be able to get a child of their own to hold and love, thanks to abortion.
