im 18 my boyfriends 20..and im pregnant.
we were so careful..we used condoms and bc but we ran out of condoms and thought it would be ok. i took every pill on time but im pregnant. he wants to give the baby up for adoption and i cant, i already love it. does anyone have advice on how and can convince him to keep it? no lectures please.

i faced the same problem, im 6 months pregnant now. honestly, if you and youre boyfriend can handle a baby, then keep it.
you really should consider this before:
- the expense of diapers, formula/food, clothes, stroller, crib, insurance, doctors.. obviously you need a good income.
- the time to take care of it. you need to stay home with your baby for a while while theyre young, so you wont be able to go to a job until your boyfriend gets home.
- the strength of your relationship. can you handle the baby alone if you guys break up ?
theres a lot of things to think about when considerin to keep a baby. if you really think that the things above are no obstacle then KEEP IT. but if not, give the baby a chance to have a great life.
tell him that you love the baby already, and you refuse to give it up for adoption. tell him you think that it will be a blessin to you guys and that its a beautiful thing. make a plan on how youre goin to handle it, take care of it, and how youre gonna handle the future. its really youre choice because you guys arent married, and youre the one givin birth to it.
im sorry if this is 'a lecture', but i think i can relate to you because i had to make the decision to keep or give mine up as well and these are things you need to hear !
good luck !
