Do as much research as you can before you make a decision. I will tell you from experience that it is the most difficult, excruciating decision you will ever make in your life. Please make sure that you're informed of how the decision may affect you and your child in the future before you decide. Adoption may be the best decision for you, you're the only one who knows that. But, there are other options out there as well. Accepting a little bit of "welfare" type help so you can finish school and get on your feet is nothing to be ashamed of, if you want to keep your baby. It doesn't have to be a permanent thing. I know plenty of women who found a way to complete their education while being young parents. It wasn't easy, but they found a way to build themselves a support system. Just remember, adoption is permanent. Welfare/aid is not. Finances should not be the only factor in the decision, truly evaluate whether or not you are ready to be a parent outside of that.
