I am nineteen years old and I am pregnant. I found out I was pregnant in October 2002 and, at first, was confident in the decision to parent my child alone. After thinking, praying, and talking with several people, I checked out adoption. I, at first, thought that if I was going to give my child up, it would mean that I don't love the baby, or don't want it. But I soon realized that I am giving this child the gift of life...something so precious and valuable. I love this child enough to realize that I can't parent this child by myself and there are so many people out there who can't have children and have so much love and happiness to give to my child. So if you are pregnant and don't know what to do...consider adoption. It is a hard decision, but knowing that you love your child and are giving that child life is the best gift you can ever give.
