I am 20 years old, 18 weeks pregnant and don't know what to do? I am pregnant by my ex-boyfriend and we are on really good terms right now and even broke up on good terms. He is really pushing for me to do an adoption and I know what it's like to go through that because we gave our son up for adoption 15 months ago. This is our second time being pregnant and I think that it was meant to be. I think it is a blessing and I really want to keep my baby boy. I feel that I am a lot more ready now then I was a year ago. I really want this baby and James (the dad) says a part of him wants to keep this baby also. He also said he would be there for his son and no matter what my decision is he will support it, I just don't want him to resent me for going against what he wanted. Please Help!
Thanks, Shonelle

Shonelle, I think you have the answer already. You said you want to keep your son and the dad wants to be supportive if you do... I think that's your answer there. Being the dad and you have had a decent relationship even as you are no longer a couple is a good thing because if you keep you son, dad will be in your lives forever. I wouldn't want you to place and ever regret it. Best wishes.
It sounds like you and your boyfriend should parent this little one. Our daughter's birthmom was in a very similar situation last fall. She had our daughter 2 years ago, and a new baby last fall. She was 16 when she had our daughter and placed her with us, but almost two years later, she was ready to parent her new baby. She also has a supportive boyfriend to help her out now.
