especially on this forum. Here everyone
needs support, so lets not patronize

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.
