If you are pregnant and don't know what to do, you should call or visit a Pregnancy Support Center or Family Planning Center. They have people who can work with you and help you reach the right decisions.
You see a doctor to find out if you are healthy and you also have to make the decision whether to keep it, adoption or abortion. If you are a minor you will also have to tell your parents.
In moderation, although it is best to abstain. Whether the child is to be put up for adoption or not should make no difference to the way you treat your body during pregnancy.
You are emancipated regarding the pregnancy so the choice is yours whether to keep it or not. If you choose adoption the father have to sign his rights away as well.
Yes, putting your baby up for adoption can be traumatizing, regardless of whether it was your decision or felt forced. The best way to deal with this trauma and grief is to see a counselor or psychologist to help you sort through your feelings of loss.
The test is whether or not the decision results in a profit.
Well, That depends whether the teenager is happy with it Thanks :) Chelseaelliot
No. You still need a formal emancipation. At 16 You are however considered emancipated in the matters of your health and the baby. Whether you choose to keep the baby, put it up for adoption or have an abortion.
Find out for sure that you are pregnant and then tell him. He deserves to know and you need child support from him if you keep it. Consider adoption if you don't think you can support this child emotionally and financially, but please don't consider abortion. I am sorry, but I feel I have to add something here. Whilst I agree that you should find out for definite whether you are pregnant, and telling your boyfriend is the right thing to do, I have to strongly advise that it is your decision at the end of the day, whether you keep this baby or not. PLEASE find out about ALL your options, whether it be adopting or, if you feel it is the right thing for you, to terminate the pregnancy. No-one has the right to dictate to you what you do. I really hope everything works out for you.
X-rays are just about never "healthy", but if your physician knew that you were pregnant then he'd have made the decision whether the advantage to you would have been worth the risk for the baby.
Firstly- you need to find out why did your biological parents did not want to take part in your life at first. Secondly find out if second family (adoption parents) are well with the decision you have made. Thirdly ask your self whether you want to leave with people who could not raise you as kid from the start, now that you are a teenager they want to raise you.
If you are talking about a abortion at that stage, you are killing a real human life. You should of thought about whether or not to get pregnant, if you were not ready to be a parent. There are many forms of birth control out there. You now should consider adoption options.
One of the most important questions prospective adoptive parents can ask of a woman considering making an adoption plan is whether or not she has been provided with unbaised counseling services over the course of her decision-making. Ethical agencies working with pregnant women will see to it that these women are fully informed of all ramifications of relinquishment and are as prepared as possible to deal with the life-long issues of surrender. A fully-informed woman who has been supported emotionally and honestly, who has made her decision without any form of coercion and is prepared for the consequences of relinquishment is much more likely to know her "true intent", and therefore act accordingly
