Fathers are such a great influence in the life of a child. Many studies have been done and have shown this to be true. It is tough growing up without a father, and I am not talking about just financially. Adoption is a good option for making this possible for your child. You wouldn't be giving him (or her) up you would be giving him more. That being said this is a personal decision and one that I think should be made with much prayer and soul searching. Here is an organization that offers free counseling in helping you to make a decision (whatever it may be) and consider all the options. You can call 1-800-537-2229, or visit
www.itsaboutlove.org . They are a very good organization and will give you lots of support now when you need it most. They have offices everywhere and are very loving and caring people. Sometimes they even have families that you can live with (if you get kicked out) until the baby comes and can help you on your way after that. I applaud you for not considering abortion!
Prayers for you and your baby that you can feel good about whatever decision you make whether to keep it or give it up.
Just my two cents,
Nancy
