[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 433017, member: 1550"] I thought about what I'd do if this were my ADULT child, and I think I'd do a lot of listening. This is too big for me to dare put in my .02 other than, "I can't raise the child. I have friends who had abortions in high school (too many, actually). I was the lone prude who supported everyone through it. I don't see that any of those girls, now older women, have any regrets. They are all doing well with their own families and have moved on. I don't think abortion necessarily has to be a bad experience. A lot depends on your religious views. Abortion is not something I could personally ever do, but I would not make that decision for my grown child. Adoption, YES. There are tons of families looking to adopt children. But it would be more of a passing suggestion. I am sorry you are going through this. Sounds so awful :< [/QUOTE]
