Stop crying since that's not good for you or your baby. Realize if you do choose adoption; family members do make it very difficult. Why? You are always the "Mom" unknown to the child & in time the child will find out. How do you handle this when the child is 18 and needs a birth certificate copy of his/her own? How far along are you?

How is your Mom & Dad taking this news? This is one reason I said to have a plan. However, realize it will be a difficult life as well for you raising a baby. Always ask one question when facing such "What is in the best interest of my baby?"

Keep your chin up!
