hi everyone. my name is keisha. i am 15 years old almost 16 years old in november and i have a 6 month old son and i am 21 weeks pregnant tomorrow with my second baby. i am scared as my mother kicked me out and im living with my best friends family. my son is such an easy baby and i am afraid of having 2 kids with no support from my mother. i am thinking about giving the baby up for adoption but i am seeking advice whether or not to keep the baby.

Hi and welcome

I don't know where you are located but you can find a wealth of information about adoption on the internet. If you are wary of the internet, try a local church for a referral.


It's definitely a place to start in making a decision.

Welcome! This is a great community and you'll make lots of friends here

I have two boys and the 2nd is definitely more difficult. I would recommend finding a local support group in your area - there's lots of resources for teen moms, whether you decide to put your new baby up for adoption to a loving family or keep him/her. Either is your decision and whatever decision you make will be the right one for your family. There are lots of kind and wonderful people in the social work system who can help you.

Welcome to JM! I think you are in a very difficult situation, and I hope and pray you can come to a decision you are happy with.

thanks ladies. i am thinking it over with my cousin who cannot have a baby and talking about letting her raise my baby when i have it. how do i start this process with the legal stuff? i still want to be in the babys life tho.
