My fiancee and I were trying for MONTHS to conceive a child. We broke up last month (March 22nd) and I found out last week that I'm pregnant. When I told him, the first words out of his mouth were, "Abort it." That's out of the question! Now, he's trying to convince me to consider adoption because he says that life will be easier for everyone involved.
I was adopted...and even though my parents were good ones...I also suffered the pain of knowing that my birth parents WILLINGLY gave me up. I was the youngest of 5 kids and I was also the only one who was adopted. So...yeah. I have severe issues with giving up my child.
He says that if I want to keep our child, he'll be there to help me....but even when I tell him that I want to keep it he will try even harder to convince me to do otherwise.
What do I do? I have so many fears and concerns. Is adoption really the best alternative to single parenting? I know that I'm not the only person to have to face single parenting...
