Hi im 14 and im 30 weeks pregnant , due in about 5 weeks. My boyfriend dumped me when i found out so hes out of the picture. But this guy ive been seeing for 2 months now says he is fully commited to my baby and is willing to be a father. Should i trust him? (link)
Dear Child,

When I was an immature 21 year old, many years ago, I got pregnant. Thankfully the young man was able and willing to financially help me and accepted his responsibility. So that was no problem, the problem was me, was I mature enough and able to nurture and care for a child? The answer was "no". I had my little girl adopted, which was sad but necessary. She had a far better life than I could ever had hoped to provide her with. We connected a few years ago. She is well balanced and happily married. She has 5 children, so I have 5 more grandchildren than I had thought I had. We are in touch, but a respect that she has her own parents and I do not interfere in any way. She is MOST grateful for her life. She got pregnant when she was 17, and also chose life for her son. God bless you!
