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.

I'm adopted too - can't imagine my life without my 'parents' - I don't know why... only that my real mom was very young too. Adoption is wonderful and these days so much easier than it was back when my parents were trying to adopt.
