  1. No he has no legal right to it ! once you are pregnant you are amancipated! a legal adult and you are the only one who can make descisions about or for that baby! There is a program you can go to for help with the baby. i had a child at 14 and i was amancipated. my mom tryed to force me to give her up. even had me brain washed to think that she could. but they can't you are the childs legal gardian and only you can make that decicion. i got into a program called "independent living and i moved out on my own they helpped with my bills and showed me how to blance a check book and pay bills and manage $$ they helpped me with parenting and any other needs i had til i was 18!  i graduated with my class had my own apt. and a job bought my own car and payed my own bills! my daughter is no 12 and we are just fine she was a gift from god. just remember when life gets you down "GOD WOULD NOT GIVE YOU MORE THAN HE KNOWS YOU CAN HANDLE!!!! And  THAT WHICH DOESN'T KILL US ONLY MAKES US STRONGER!!!!


  2. He can't make you give up the baby, but if he's going to be the one taking care of you and it financially, you may want to consider it. I'm not sure of your age, but I assume you're under 18. It's not right to keep the child if you can't work and he's going to end up being responsible for it.

  3. No he can't.  Only you can make that decision.   Only in adoption do you have the choice to put your child up for adoption.  Now they, being your parents, social workers, adoption agencies, attorneys, will push you, coerce you, lie to you, deceive you anyway possible.  You have to keep your head clear and your eyes watchful.  There are programs that can assist you.  

    Please contact www.origins.org.  They will help you provide for your child.  Is there an aunt, sister, cousin or other family member that will help you?

  4. No he can't.

    You decide what is best for you and your baby.  And listen to the others.  There are some excellent resources out there to young mothers.  You just have to know where to look.

  5. NO, he can't . Don't be scared, put all your faith in your baby, and don't let anyone take her away. No one can force you to give up your baby, talk who anyone that can help you and that you trust like your mom or a relative. Good Luck.

  6. No way.

    Even if you are a minor, that child is yours, and nobody can make you give it away if you don't want to.  

    If you are pregnant and are afraid that your father will try to make you give up you child, I would suggest you arm yourself with information.  Someone suggested origins.org  Take that advice...Origins USA is dedicated to family preservation and will do everything they can to help keep you and your baby together.  

    It can be very hard facing down the adoption sharks by yourself, so get some help to deal with this.  And good luck to you.

  7. how old are you?

    if you're over 18...i dont think he can

    and ..i thought you werent sure if you were pregnant..wait till you get the results hun, then you can make the desicion of wether you want your baby with you or not...



    ..wish you the best! : )

  8. No one can make you give up your baby. Don't let anyone guilt you into it. There is help out there. I can get you in touch with local resourses if you need them. You can also find help at places like keepyourbaby.com

  9. no one can force you to put your child up for adoption it is your child. the most they can do is make things hard on you.

  10. No No No

    Please don't give your baby to anyone.  If adoption is even mentioned as a 'possibility' they (the agency with impatient customers waiting for a baby) will hook you and watch over you and ensure the relinquishment takes place so they can get that baby.

    Take care of yourself and always follow your heart.  However they try to 'counsel' you that other parents will be better than you - NOBODY can replace  you; n-o-b-o-d-y!!!

    Big Hugs darlin and don't be afraid, it's going to be alright.

  11. no he cant but if you are worried that he could cause problems for you then you need to seek counselling and possibly legal advice.

    He may be reacting out of fear and concern for you and he opinons may change once he sees the baby.

    Parents already know the hard work and dedication that goes into being a parent and myabe he doesnt think you are ready for this huge committment.

    Dont dismiss his suggestions he is only actying out of concern for you.

    If he wont talk about any other option though you do need to get someone to mediate maybe someone who can stress to him the impact that adoption has on a Mother and on the child.

    In the first place you need to find someone who can give you guidence.

    Try your local Dr or community health clinic or contact a family member who your Dad will listen too.

  12. i dnt know how old you are? are you 18 or less? he could possibly but if you want to keep the baby go to home for unwed moms and either that or shelter and they will help you they are in the yellow pages of the telephone book or call the operator and she'll get you one and you can move and live there. they will show you how to work and build a life for your baby. if you give it up for adtopinon this means the child will have a good home most likely. there are pros and cons for this but sometimes if you are really young its best to do this if there is no marriage and dad. its up to you. take care.

  13. 2 years ago you posted a question is 15 to young for a baby sounds to me like you tried to get pregnant because you obviously have been thinking about it for a long time

  14. You said before you don't even know if you're pregnant. Go and take the test before you start getting panicky about things that may never happen. If it's your baby, then no he can't make you do anything.

  15. NO!! HE CAN'T!!! He can make it really hard on you BUT if you want to keep your baby YOU CAN DO IT!!! Don't ever believe anyone when they say that he can. This is YOUR CHILD. YOUR CHILD. YOUR CHILD.

    please post your state up and i'll find you some resources that will REALLY help you parent and not force you into an adoption.

    Don't ever be ashamed of taking state help to raise your child. EVER! Its there for YOU, TAKE IT if you need it.
