Hi...I am only 20 and recently gave birth to my son. I did not know that I was pregnant (I had no symptoms except for not having my period), which should have been a giveaway, but I just thought it was from being stressed at school. I have not told any of my family members, and there is no father for this baby. I know that the right thing to do would be to give him up for adoption, but I held him the whole time he was in the hospital and can't stand being away from him. I do not know how I would even begin to tell my parents of this. I am so lost on what to do.

I just want to update veryone as to everything that has gone on. I met with a couple that I chose through some profiles. They seemed very nice. There were so many similarities between me and the couple. They had been trying for 14 years to have a child of their own and decided they wanted to adopt a child. I met with them and they seemed very nice and we got along very well. I decided on the spot that they were the couple I wanted my son to live with. We came up with an agreement that they would send me pictures and letters directly and I can send presents and such. The same day after I met with them, I signed the papers that were to be sent to the courts terminating my rights. :( It is sad, but I do feel this is the right decision. The day after I met the couople, I placed my son with them. They named him Jacob, which I had given him as his middle name. I miss him, but they are taking very good care of him. The foster family had given me a lot of pictures from while he was in their care.

My prayers are with you. I know how difficult it is, but if you felt it was the right decision, it probably is. I believe very strongly that parents intuition helps guide you to adoption. I know that it did in my case. :) If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. I know you don't know me, but sometimes talking to someone who has been through it...
Well, it's been two weeks today since I placed my son with his adoptive family. I just received some pictures from them yesterday. I was kind of surprised that I got some already. We had agreed on 3 times a year, but they did say they would like to send them more often, I just wasn't sure how soon they would start sending them. They say that he already weighs 11 pounds and is 24 inches long, and he is only 5 weeks old! He's been lifting his head up since he was 3 weeks old. He's taking his pacifier in and out of his mouth by himself too.
