I am very young and currently 10 weeks pregnant I haven't officially made my mind up about anything but I'm seriously considering adoption. So far all I see is "don't do it,you'll regret it". That makes me nervous. I don't want to spend the rest of my life sad,angry, and depressed. I can't imagine being a mom right now and I can't imagine giving my child up. It just feels like a lose,lose situation right now :( I feel terrible about this all but I have no place to complain since I did get myself into this situation. I understand that whatever I choose in the end is going to be extremely difficult but it already is extremely difficult because I just feel so lost. I have never had a close relationship with my mom so I'm not very good at one on one serious conversations like this with her..but I know I'm going to have to talk to her about it somehow. I don't know how I am ever going to make my mind up. Feels like I won't ever... :/
what do I need to do? How will I know if I am sure I'm doing the right thing? I don't want to end up making the wrong decision..

It's really great you are asking yourself all of these questions now. It can be really helpful to talk through all of your options with someone objective. There's a great organization called Backline that has a help line where you can call and talk to someone who can help you navigate making decisions around your pregnancy (you don't mention this as an option for you, but if you are also deciding whether abortion is right for you, they are pro-choice and can talk with you about that). They're not an adoption agency or anything like that, so they won't put any pressure on you to choose one particular path. here's their website: [url=http://yourbackline.org/]Backline — Pregnancy • Parenting • Abortion • Adoption[/url]Good luck as you figure out your path in this tough situation.

I encourage you to read this blog:

I am a birthmom. I can talk to you in private messages if you would like and I can direct you to a support group of women who have placed and they can tell you their experiences if you would like.
My advice is to research, research, research. Educate yourself as much as possible!
