Im a 26 year old single mother of three already and i am 6 weeks pregnant. The father wants nothing to do with me i guess- he wont talk to me. I dont know what to do with regards to keeping or aborting this child. im still in school upgrading programs and am just getting more stable in life. i just moved into a bigger place last year and would have to move again to accomodate four children. My finances are low so im extremely scared and lonely.

i wouldnt go with abortion considering you already have other children and you know what it is like to have children. why not put it up for adoption??!!! why waist a life like that. some happy couple would be thrilled to have a baby.

my personal opinion, which alot of people may not like, You have 3 kids and it is hard yes, but to give this one up, how fair is that. what happens in 18 years when he/she finds out they are adopted and find out they have siblings out there older that were raised with you but you gave this one up, i couldnt imagine the heartache that would come about with adoption in your situation. i dont agree with abortion either. but this is all my opinion. There is lots of financialy help out there. How old are your other kids, is their father in the picture?

My friend got pregnant with baby #2 when the dad (not same as baby #1) up and left suddenly. She was in a bad situation, not much money....very similar to you, getting more stable in life. Anyways, she opted for an open adoption. That baby is now 8 and sees my friend and his brother, knows why she gave him up for adoption and is very happy with his adoptive parents. Just a thought. Gl to you

First of all, go to www. singlepregnancy.com. It is full of useful information and will NOT make you feel guilty if you decide to exercise your right to choose, but is meant to empower women who wish to have and keep their babies, and WILL NOT make you feel guilty is you exercise your right to choose. As far as what to do, the decision has to be yours and yours alone. Do not feel guilty about anything you do, as nobody else has walked in your shoes. BUT I think you should have the baby, nail that baby's father for 20% of his income, and continue to work at making your life everything you want it to be, knowing that you are an extension of the divine and that it is your right as a human being to be happy! This is coming from someone who is ten years older than you, who wishes she could have more kids, but was single and pregnant at your age, struggling, wrote a book about it, and is now wishing she had MORE children! Get this book: Conversations With God. It is spiritual but not religious, and it has the power to turn your life around. Best of luck to you.

I think it's not bad at all if you give this baby up for adoption. Its extremely better than abortion, and like San said you can do an open adoption if you want. Your child im sure would be grateful when they understood why you gave them up. Money is something we all need to raise our children. If you don't want anymore children have you thuoght about maybe getting your tubes tied?? Just a thought , that's my step after I have this baby. :) Good luck !!
