[quote:goodmockingbird:MV8yNDQ0OTU0XzQyMTA0NzUyXzRBNTk3Nzc1] Charlie, only you, your preganant girlfriend, and your respective parents know the reality of your and her prospects to be able to quickly pull things together well and provide a stable, prosperous family for your child -- OR whether you can see your way clear to [i]definitely[/i] offer your child a stable, prosperous future through adoption. Adoption would give your child opportunities you can only dream of now: Freedom from public schools and exposure to the hideous welfare system. A mature, stable married couple who are wholehearted [i]committed[/i] to being parents. The welfare system grinds down the will and destroys the soul of all involved. Public schools destroy the soul. Through over a decade as a social worker I know exactly what it does to people. Adoption, on the other hand, rises above. It lifts the souls of all involved. The child is freed from the meatgrinder of welfare involvement. The child can go to good schools, and has opportunities in life. You and your girlfriend can continue in the natural course of youth, that is making your way upwards. You and she can plan productive futures and make your way towards them while [i]enjoying[/i] your youth. Please look into, discuss, and consider adopting the child out into a stable family that is ready to provide for the child. There are countless options, including open adoption where you are the adoptive parents remain in contact, and the child grows up knowing that he or she was adopted out through love and hope, with the child's best interest at heart.

So obviously this wasn't planned and is not coming at a great time. Have fallen in hard times and was in the process of trying to start building my life back up. This is going to be a severe bump in the road.
It's not confirmed yet, we are going to take a test tomorrow but she is pretty late and both of us have a feeling she is. How it happened is a moot point so please don't ask. Neither of us like the idea of abortion and I can't help but feel that it would destroy our relationship.
What I need help with is some ideas on where to start looking for assistance. What kinds of assistance are available. Any and all ideas are welcome.
I don't ask for a lot from my GLP family, and most who know me will know I often offer advice when I was more active. I had my computer break a few months back and have pretty much just stuck to lurking around on my phone.
For reference to assistance available we live in lake county Illinois.
I have to go somewhere pretty soon here so I might not be here right away to answer any follow ups. Will be back and bumping this later. I really need help here guys, don't even know where to start looking.
Also taking green karma so I can get a member upgrade to use the email features.
Thank you GLP!
**UPDATE** confirmed today, gotta start working out the details now!
