Adoption is a great choice if you feel too young to raise a baby. My birth mom had me when she was 17 and I was adopted as a baby. I had a GREAT life and found my birth mom when I was in my early 20's...she has always felt she made the right decision for me..and so do I. Now that they have open adoptions as an option it would make it so much easier than way back when, when the adoption was closed and the records sealed for 18 years.
On the other hand I had my son at 19 and was waaay too immature looking back, to have a baby..but I did and grew up fast. If you feel like you can handle it finanicially, emotionally..etc..then go find a support group of young mothers and speak with them. Good luck with your decision...its a tough one.
