Question

MY bf wants me to get an abortion...

So my boyfriend is 22 years old I’m 19, we both think we are way too young to have kids, but we found out that I am pregnant. I’m really scared of having an abortion; I mean I don’t want to have one because really it is our fault for not taking care of ourselves. I’m totally against abortions period, although he says we aren’t ready. What do I do? I don’t know how to tell him that I’m not getting an abortion. I mean nobody knows I’m pregnant since we just found out on Monday.

I would recommend looking into adoption.  Talk to your family/friends or anyone you trust and get the help that you need, both physically and emotionally.  If you're against abortion, don't let anyone pressure you into it!  There are agencies and programs everywhere that can help you and get you the support and care you need. 

My husband and I are trying to get matched with a birth mother who wants to put her baby up for adoption.  There are plenty of people out there who would jump at the chance to help you and to adopt this baby.  From that standpoint, I beg you to consider helping others create a family.   

Regardless of your choice, please consider all of your options and talk to someone other than your boyfriend before you make any final decision.
