There are times where adoption is the best alternative since the Parents cannot cannot provide a good alternative for financing in the future & for "being there"...often teen parents work long hours and are not ready for a parenthood on top of it all. Remember you get to be it all; mom, student, teen, adult, employee, household keeper, cook, wife, etc. And raise a child who keeps you up at night.
If I was to choose adoption as my alternative; it would be someone who does not know me. It would be where I did not know the child & the new mom. All private adoptions give you finances for what you are giving up. Aways be certain it's a reputable agency...check it.
Just b/c the woman is well off; does not mean she is going to be a good mom either. However, often couples turn to adoptions when they cannot have a child and the child is very much wanted...it's been an unheard of dream. You & Billy need to look at the choices and make the one best for the BABY. This is your choice...with some of his input. Recall, he also has a right to the baby if YOU choose to put the baby up for adoption...he must sign. Meanwhile, even if you have the baby there is no guarantee he will be a full parent after the child is born...it may fall on you.
Stop, slow, and think...talk to him and look at all your avenues, you still have time. YOU have to choose what is best for the baby; allow no one to push you into anything. Being confused is normal.
