: I know this message may not be in the norm of other posts, but it is really been a struggle for me. I am 9 wks pregnant and the father of the baby wanted me to have an abortion, no questions asked. I told him I wanted to keep it and would never ask him for child support, ever. He refused to let me do that. So, I told him I had an abortion, even though I didn't. I am feeling very strong about putting this baby up for adoption, but I am really scared. Can anyone please let me know if you have ever given a child up for adoption, and how it feels afterwards. I am really not ready for a baby at all, but I just couldn't have an abortion. Thank you. At 16 my best friend became pregnant and I went through the whole thing with her and she did give the baby up for adoption. I can say only a few things that may assist you. It was difficult for her mostly immediately after the birth, when ppl would ask where the baby was and she would have to explain. She is greatful that a wonderful family adopted her dd. It has been years and yet the family has constantly sent letters of updates and many pictures. It is an extremely difficult decision to make and remember it is for the rest of your life! But, do what is best for that child!
