In my experience there is never a perfect time to have a baby and when they do arrive you will find a way to provide. The day will come when you can't ever imagine life without that child. Hugs Cyn .

User ID: 24631760 United States 12/27/2013 06:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Consider adopting the kid out. There are huge waiting lists of stable prosperous families that would desperately love to provide a home for a healthy white infant. Some people say you will magically and instantly become enthralled with the child once it is born. Maybe, maybe not. I have seen the hell unwanted kids go through when desperate young couples come up pregnant unexpectedly... And life just gets worse for all concerned. Adoption truly is THE loving, wise, and doable solution. I Support Our First Responders |

User ID: 46204603 Canada 12/27/2013 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When I found out my girl was pregnant after two months, I got to work. Wasn't easy in the beginning and it certainly wasn't pretty but it made us stronger. I was lucky enough to have a decent job but it meant about the same hours as working 2 jobs. If you have two feet and a heartbeat, I don't see what the problem is. If for some reason you luck out, take it as a warning and smarten up. Wrap that thing ffs. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 52020169 United States 12/27/2013 06:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: CharlieMurphy 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! Firstly congratulations. Secondly. So whats the big deal dude. Deal with it, we all hit an unexpected twist on the road that we call life. Deal with it. Get a job, get yourself on your feet, make an honest woman of her and enjoy your life and the life of your new child. Don't even consider an abortion, the child isn't here because it chose to be, it is here because you chose it to be. Now its your turn to man the fuck up and do something with your life. |

Adoption truly is THE loving, wise, and doable solution. I agree. Adoption is starting to look like what my wife and I might have to do. We've been through it all trying to have a child. The miscarriage was the worst thing, very hard to go through. The problem is adoption is so expense that we might not even have that option.

User ID: 24637629 United States 12/27/2013 06:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Baby Mommy can bring in a whole lot more Free Stuff without Baby Daddy gumming up the works with Marriage'n'Shit She can get a place in da Projects, WIC, food stamps, Medicaid etc etc etc. Baby Daddy can visit. So can all the Youths on da Projects. Baby Daddy becomes obsolete. Baby can grow up in da Projects and learn to Count to Potato in da Public Schools. And grow up to make the same mistakes. Or the kid could have decent shot at life by way of adoption. Former social worker here, seen it thousands of times Absolutely ZERO magic goes on with unplanned welfare pregnancy. Lots of misery and wasted opportunity, that and not much else I Support Our First Responders |
