Hi Mandy :) I think adopting your baby out can be a positive thing but i hope you do consider the possibility that when you see your baby and hold her or him in your arms that you may never want to let her go. It's hard to comprehend what that feels like untill you're there. Seeing your baby for the first time changes everything.. Just know that keeping your baby is ok too i would hate for you to have your baby and have all these feelings but then feel pressured to give her up by those around you.

Hi,
Thanks for everyone's input. Well, I am well over 2 months pregnant. Morning sickness lasts all day many days, and I know I've gained some weight. I hope I get over morning sickness very soon.

I still have not decided what I am going to do with this unexpected baby.
I don't know if I should keep it, or give it up.

My mom now knows about my being pregnant. She had been guessing actually for awhile.
I just came right out and told her. She wasn't as shocked or hurt/angry as I had expected.

my main question is, what happens if i commit to giving the baby up, but then, when he/she is born, i change my mind? and the thought of giving him/her up is too much?

Thanks,
Mandy
