Should I keep it?

[Anonymous]

I found out today I'm pregnant. I'm on my own, work full time, paycheck to paycheck. But they are very adorable and all the cute clothes 😍

It is completely your choice. They may be cute and you can buy cute clothes, but that is just a very minor detail. Are you willing to drastically change your life, put them first. Financially you will have to buy diapers, possibly formula, medications, etc. Children are extremely expensive. Also if you want to date it may impact your dating life. A child will cry and scream, at night, in the supermarket etc. Can you handle that crying responsibly. Car seats and other items are expensive but needed. Can you afford day care, can you afford to take time off to look after them. This will change the rest of your life. If you choose to abort it that is your own personal choice and completely fine, don't let anyone tell you it is not your decision. The adoption system is very broken and many children end up in bad homes. Many things to think about.

I think you are very immature. A baby is not a pet. You don't go "Look at other kids, they are so cute, I should have one".
Give the baby up for adoption. You are not ready to take care of a child.

Cute clothes that you can't afford to buy. If this is a serious post then you should consider your options careful. A child is a massive expense.

If you don't have the money to keep it, you can put it up for adoption. Many parents will let you keep contact with the child.

I couldn't do that. So many babies get abused and sold into slavery.

Adoption is a highly screened, extremely expensive process. I would agree with your statement for foster care, but adopting an infant out of an adoption agency is a totally different system that takes years of screening and costs upwards of 40k.

Why are people buying babies? That's very strange.

[LazerBean]

As you pointed out, people who want fee children after abuse them. It's not so much "buying a child" as it is covering government regulation and screening fees, as well as covering the actual medical bill for the child's birth.

Any people cannot have children of their own and adoption is their only option. Also many people want to save babies from being killed.

[Asker]

I don't think I could do it. Open adoptions aren't very common. I think I would rather keep it or abort.

[LazerBean]

They are extremely common. For every infant there is about 20 couples on a waiting list to adopt.

Yes, or give it up for adoption.
