My family has been trying to convince me to consider adoption so I'm talking to people and looking into it...but it's really not a thought in my mind. Rather my thoughts are how the heck am i going to support me and my baby! Any ideas of how to find someone that would rent a room to a woman and baby or something low-income that doesn't have a very long waiting list?? Any advice for keeping vs adoption??

Some people would say that giving a baby up for adoption is even harder than having an abortion. It all depends on what you feel you can do/should do for your baby. Do you think that you have the ability to care for your child? If you are willing to make a lot of sacrifices for your baby's well being, then you should be fine. However, if you feel like you are not going to be able to provide your child with the things it needs, ie food, clothing, shelter, then maybe you should consider adoption. Just my thoughts, as I am going through the same thing! ;)

I guess maybe ask yourself "do i want to be a mother right now? But listen to your VERY first gut reaction. That's the right answer right there. If your inner voice immediately says no, then you don't want this right now. If your voice says yes, then you're keeping it. Your heart knows what to do, sometimes we don't listen. I'm not telling you to go either way. But this is a question for YOU.

Yeah... my friend just had a baby and as soon as I held her in my arms I knew there was no way I could give up my baby. Things are going t be hard and I still have to find us a place to live in 6 months but i really want to keep my baby.

There's always subsidized living.. I don't think they wouldn't concider you because you're pregnant. I was in the same boat. My mom wanted me to give up my baby for adoption.. but I can't do it.. it's going to be hard because I'm only 19 but as long as you have some type of support system things should be easier... good luck!
