I think you're very smart to explore all your options.  I know posters will come on this thread saying you should't consider adoption,  but it's a very loving option.  

I have a best friend,  and a brother,  who are so blessed with a baby they adopted.  They are SO THANKFUL for being given this gift by a selfless mother who wanted the best for her child.

Best wishes,  sweetie.

Adoption is a selfless thing to do, and we appreciate you thinking that over abortion. I don't know the steps, but start looking around at some options. Maybe talk to your doctor? There's always somebody out there who's waiting for somebody like you :)

If you feel the baby is a blessing, you may want to keep the options open. Maybe an open adoption where you still have contact? Or maybe you'll even decide to keep him? There's plenty of government help out there, all these girls talking bad about it have it all wrong. My hubby and I both work full time, but insurance at both workplaces is more expensive than we can afford. My baby is on medicaid, I get food stamps too but oonly $115 since I do have my man in our lives. They can help you ALOT more. I'm talking food stamps and Medicaid for you both, my sister used to get $400 in food stamps before she opened her business. WIC will give you free food and formula for your babies first 5 years. Where there's a will, there's a way.
