Jamie~
First, I want to welcome you to our board! We're SO glad you found us! You have found a safe and supportive place here. I know right now you are scared and probably have a thousand different thoughts and emotions running through your head. But please remember, you are not alone! We are here to guide and help you. As far as your situation goes, this is a tough one, but not totally impossible. You are dealing with alot of stress and emotions right now and I think you're thinking that an abortion would just make it all go away. Unfortunately, that's usually not the case...abortion only robs women of their happiness and their chance of ever knowing their child. I think it's no mistake you found us...you are toying with the idea of abortion and if you were totally at peace with this decision, I don't think you'd be seeking advice. But something's telling you to find out more, seek help, get advice. I know you feel like this situation is hopeless, but I'm here to tell you it's not...so many women have careers or go to school and still continue in their pregnancies and have their babies! You sound like a strong woman who has goals and dreams and I truly don't think a baby's going to put an end to these dreams. My mother had three children and went to college while pregnant with me. She graduated and now has her Master's degree. She was able to create a loving, healthy, and happy environment for my brothers and I, as well as make her own dreams come true! You CAN do this, Jamie! You just have to set your mind toward your goal and be willing to seek help along the way. You are here and that's a big step! You're doing your research and asking for advice! That shows you already truly care about this little one! Jamie, we truly want to help you and I hope you will give us the opportunity to do so. I have to tell you, and I'm sure you already know this, but your boyfriend's reaction was nothing but selfish and absurd! If he TRULY loved you, he would be supportive and loving no matter what you decide! His demand that you abort or else is a real eye opener! I've seen MANY boyfriends and husbands demand this and the women have chosen to continue in the pregnancy and I have seen many of those men come around and just adore their children and become amazing fathers--I'm not promising this, but it is a possibility! Jamie, we hope to hear back from you! In the meantime, I will be praying for you and your boyfriend. I am praying for peace as you make this decision. Please keep us posted! If you need extra guidance, please let us know! We can help you locate a pregnancy center in your area that can offer you guidance and support as well. My e-mail is always open if you ever need to talk! :) Listen to your heart...you are already a mother...now it's just time to decide which path you want to go.
God bless,
Tracey
