Default Re: Teen pregnancy (Or:I\'m too young to be a dad)

Give your head a shake. Having an abortion = trauma, but you think giving up a live child and living with that would be easier??? Also, naive to think that anybody that adopts the child (except a relative) would want the biological parents butting in and confusing the kid.

I think giving a child up for adoption would be easier for both of us than getting an abortion...Not saying it would be easy, but certainly easier than an abortion.

I didn't say that I would want to be like a second dad to the kid if he or she was adopted...But I would certainly want to meet the child at some point in his or her life. I thought this was the idea of an open adoption?(Or at least one kind of open adoption...as I understand it, there are different types that go to different lengths, anywhere from choosing the parents, to meeting the child, to being actively involved in the child's life. Again, just what I have read)

People saying I don't have a clue are, for the most part, correct. I'm not even 18, what the hell am I supposed to know about raising a child and all the things that go with it?
