Pregnancy

Dear Alice,
Dear Undecided, I am a 32-year-old mother of 3. I have been in your position. I can tell you that at 15 I found myself pregnant and decided to have an abortion. At 17, I delivered my daughter (still with the same man). I can tell you that the abortion was hard emotionally, which is why I got pregnant again. I love her with all my heart and wish I could have held her off for a few more years so that things would be a little easier, so I do not think there is a right or wrong. I am also adopted. I was adopted at birth and have the best family. I am on both ends of the stick here. If you think that you could give your child up for adoption, then that would be wonderful. I know families personally that are waiting to adopt, but if that option is not right for you, I will stand in your corner. I may not know you, but I have been there and I thank God that I had the right to choose what I wanted. Good Luck to you!
