I was going to say that, if you are struggling at all with the idea of abortion, then don't do it. You would probably have regrets. I had an abortion when I was younger, and I don't regret it. It was absolutely the best decision for me and I never had any doubt at all that it was the correct choice. You should follow what's in your heart, and if your heart is telling you to keep the baby, then that's what you should do.

I can understand that.....but then look at what you are saying. You are leaving the option of abortion open ( I know you are struggling with that idea) but you do not feel you can do adoption. Abortion is terminating the child. You are not allowing the child to live or have a life, but adoption is allowing the child to have a life. I think there is a reason why you are struggling with abortion. It is a first reaction that many people have when it is an unexpected pregnancy. But just because the child is no longer here does not mean you don't live with that choice for the rest of your life....as I think you are starting to look at. We all have reactions to unexpected situations. That is when it is wise to take a step back and to allow yourself time to sort things out. If you are feeling that you would most likely parent then look at what help would be possible for you.
Just a side note. My second and third child are 10 years apart. I have loved watching my third grow. I have the help of my 10 year old and as my little one has grown I have really taken a step back and watched her grow. You realize how fast they really do grow. There are adjustments you do have to make, but life is also an adjustment. As your 10 yr. old gets older you are also making adjustments in your life for him/her. Just life has adjustments. It snows one morning and you have to adjust that into your schedule. I know this is different then adjusting to another child and a newborn, but my point is is that you are already adjusting to things around you and making it work.
