Absolutely not! The woman is still the mother despite the father being married. That's hardly a reason to give up a child. She shouldn't have been involved with him in the first place, but that's a separate matter and it's certainly not the child's fault.

baby didn't have a say in who he/she ended up with for parents, why should he/she have to pay for the mistakes of mom and dad? definately not a good enough reason to not keep the baby...

I'm 10000% against any form of giving a child up. If a man and a woman can make a child, then they can support the child. Physically and emotionally. You don't have to have a love relationship with the father. You just have to get along for your child. The child didn't ask to be born, or to be put into that situation. And it isn't their fault the parents aren't together or anything like that. That child just needs love and support from both parents. :)

this is going to be messy no matter what happens.. having the baby will cause a lot of problems for urself and the married man n his family... HOWEVER not having the baby can hurt just as bad...
it is totally up to u n if u tell the man then make it clear from the start wat u want..
its gonna be hard either way u go..
good luck

Although it is wrong to be involved with a married man, I do not believe that you should give that child up. However, by having a married man's baby you are opening up a world of hurt for that baby and for yourself.

No, but I do think it is wrong for a woman to sleep/be with a married man. If you don't sleep with a married man you don't have a baby with a married man, and you don't put an innocent child in the middle of a BIG mess.
