Your story is making me cry. That was me 8 years ago. I got pregnant with my son when I was eighteen right before my freshman year of college. I was scared and thought that my life would end. However, my parents were suprisingly supportive. Abortion and adoption was not a choice for them, nor for me. I continued at college, lived with my bf, had my son, married my bf, divorced him, and finished college on time. It is very very hard, and remember it is your decsion. You need to think of the options you have, and you do have some. Do you have parents? Is this person you were with someone who is supportive of you? Can you go to a college closer to home? Adoption?
You also know the option of abortion, which is all I will say on that. However, coming from someone who had to go through invitro fertilization to get preg now, I very much wanted to adopt a child. if your choice is that you can not take care of this child and you have looked at all the options, There are so many families out there that will never have children and are praying for a little one.
My son is 7 1/2 years old and everyone said that I would not finish school and I did, on time and I now have a bachelors of social work degree and will be going for my masters.
I know this is long and you can take it like a grain of salt, but I hear you. Your story brought back all the memories, and I am happy to say that my son is a healthy, beautiful, loving little boy. This is the hardest thing you will have to decide, just remember there are many people in your shoes, you are not alone.
