As all have said before me - a very personal decision. I guess you really need to decide where your heart is here. If you know you want children, you don't necessarily know that you will have another chance. If however, this has never been in your thought process until the situation presented itself, you really need to do some soul searching. It is wonderful that your family has offered their help, but utimately the child rearing will be yours and you really need to want that responsibility, because otherwise it might feel more like a burden. Children are a blessing and once brought into this world should be treated as such.
This is one situation where I would say it is perfectly fine to be selfish. In doing what is best and right for you, you will be doing what will be best and right for the child - whatever that decision ends up being.
