Hello everyone!

I am glad to be here. I recently found out I am a month pregnant. I am a 26 year old woman with a 7 year old daughter. I am opting to put this child up for adoption and would like to share my story with whoever will hear.

I know that now is not the time for me to have a child. I graduated from college in Dec. 2004, and I know how difficult it is to raise a child (to the best of ones abilities).

I also have a decent paying job (as a Counselor) with great health insurance. I feel like people might ask me, why? Why do I feel the need to do this?

Well, I have a long distance relationship (that is as stable as possibly can be). And I'm not ready(emotionally or spiritually) to give another child the attention, love, etc that he/she deserves. Also, I dont want to cheat my 7 year old daughter out of everything that she is used to.

So any and all support would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Andy
