I am also a young mom. Not as young as you but i am only 17. im actually not a mom yet i have another 3 or so months to go. i think that it takes more guts to have the baby then to give it up for adoption or abortion because we are making a forever lifetime choice. this little person will always be with us. i think that its better to have kids at a little bit younger of age cause we wont be old when our kids are out of school and we can vacation with them. i do believe that it will be hard, im so not denying that but i feel good about myself knowing that i could have taken the easy way out like so many teens do now a days but i didnt, i choose to be a mom instead of a carefree teen. this baby has saved my life and i think that i owe the baby the same thing it has done for me.

I am proud that you have chosen to live up to the responsibilty of your actions and have decided to have your baby. It will be hard at times but you will get thru it. On a side note, I do not think the decission to give a baby up for adoption is the easy way out. I cannot imagine a harder thing to do. Some women know their limitations or maybe they cannot afford the baby. I think at times adoption is one of the greatest gifts of love a mother can give. To put the needs of the child before their wanting to keep the baby knowing that it will never have a good life do to the mother being young or poor. At least these brave Mom's chose to give that baby life and place it with loving parents rather than abortion. It is truly a selfless act.

i think the only way i could give up my baby for adoption is if it was open and i would see my baby all the time. but i wont do that i love kids and cand wait to see my little one!!! im only sixteen

Hello everyone. I am a 20yr old mother of two. I had my son at 18 and my daughter recently. There is nothing greater than having another life that you have to take care of. It is certainly going to be hard but in the end when you look into your babies faces all the pain, worries, and stress goes away. Also sometimes adoption is the best way to go if you know that you can't care for your child at a young age but let it be your choice don't be forced. I am so glad that all of you younger girls take care of your responsibility.
