there isn't any need for hostility, especially on this forum. Here everyone needs support, so lets not patronize krystine for her mistake Smile

first of all DO NOT get an abortion unless you are 100% confidant that is the right thing for you. you are so young that chances are this man isnt destined to be your husband. why do somthing as harsh as an abortion for someone that may not be around for long anyhow, especially if he is freaking out like this, that isnt a good sign.
secondly, a home abortion may not work completely and you may end up with a handicapped child in the end.
thirdly, there is always a risk that a child can have handicaps, perfect pregnancy or not. my first son was born perfect and strong but contracted meningitis after his birth. in the end, had he lived, he would have been severly handicapped, but once we were in that position, it didnt matter anymore that he wouldnt be normal. all that mattered was that he would live and be able to find some happiness. unfortunatly we werent so lucky and every day we miss him and think about him, every day for 3 years now. not to mention there was a baby in the same NICU that was born with her brain outside of her head and needed to get surgery to put her back together again, and this little girl will have big problems, but her parents still loved her and got to taker her home and they looked to be only around 18 themselves but they did it.
and who says that your adoption experience wont be like Juno? my husband and i are in the process of getting approved for adoption and we have also talked with a girl from the US who we were thinking about adopting from, and from everything that i read, it is really easy to get all of your medical expences paid for if you go through an agency. the girl who we talked with didnt even use an agency, she just found an adoptive couple by chance when she was in labour and still, they paid for all of her expenses. adoptive parents generally expect that as part of the process. unless your planning on keeping it, i wouldnt worry about the costs. and the sooner you pick an angency the sooner you can get your medical paid for, even ultrasounds and routine checkups.
you should just contact an agency and discuss your options. dont commit to it until you have had time to think, but know your options, dont just assume. a lot of online agencies will even let you look through the profiles of prospective parents so you can see what is available to you. if you want you can even maintain a relationship with the adoptive family and watch your baby grow.
adoption is a beautiful thing and people need to let the stigmas go.
and on a side note, the world is overpopulated as it is. people should not view having babies as a duty to their god or whatever. times have changed and if people keep having big families then we are going to turn into china or india, and our children will be the ones suffering from disease and starvation.
