Go to your family and child services
department. They should have plenty of
resources to help you.

have your boyfriend get a job, you get a
job yourself (if your doc says its ok),
then after you got that go to social
services and ask for some help (also if
you cant afford a child adoption is a
great choice for the baby)
some services the government provides are
wic, medicaid, food stamps, and tanf
you may also want to look into food banks
and cloths clinics
there are even some places (churches,
crisis pregnancy centers) that will help
out, here in virginia we have a place
called the keim center, they offer
pregnancy tests, support and even early
ultrasounds, also classes every week until
the baby is 1 year, and you go to these
classes and just for going you get "baby
bucks" and they allow you to order clothes
and bottles and stuff from the things that
get donated to them, maybe if you look
hard enough you can find a place like
that

Planned Parenthood should be able to hook
you up with necessary information also.
