: 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. Hi there,
This page
I think the fact that you keept this child and went as far as lying to him about having an abortion shows that you are deeply conected with this baby. I am against abortion (and that is just my opinion) but I think adoption would be more beneficial for you who would know you didn't kill your baby and the child who would probably find a good family to take care of him/her. You say you are not ready for a child but by reading your post I sense someone who is strong and able to make her own decisions. I think you didn't need this man in the first place and you don't need him now to make your choice. I wish you good luck with whatever you choose and please remember a father is not the one who gives life to a child but the one who gives love and affection and you might find someone like that down the road.
