You are right I cannot even imagine what it would be to be in such a situation. I've never even known anyone in anything remotely near those circumstances. My heart goes out to you.

Maybe if you had to have your child eat potatoes for weeks on end because you can by 10 pounds for $2 and only have water with sugar stolen from Mcdonalds for bottles , and you only can wash in a gas station and wrap your babies butt in papertowels from bathroom washrooms ... You all might have different thoughts.
Love doesn't conquer all when you are talking about a baby. And fathers have to usually be chased down like a dog for child support. Pray tell me what happens before the year or two or three it takes to get support from him for this child. And don't even go there about the support of organizations or churches. if you have NO CONNECTION before hand ...churches don't suddenly throw support your way. They direct you to social service organizations who tell you you need all these qualifications and papers, that if you had all this to begin with you wouldn't be there looking for help. To navigate social services you better have an experianced teacher ... or be prepared to walk a million miles with a baby on your back and go hungry awhile longer .
Anyways... All I'm saying is you better darn sure think TWICE about raising a baby by yourself.It's a HUGE commitment and ALOT of suffering if you don't have a PLAN. |
