You wrote, I am financially sound and emotionally stable but I feel like I might be harming my child emotionally by the situation I am in with the father. You have some time to figure out what that situation is (will you stay with him, will he stay with you?) The fact is that you refer to the baby as "My child." That says to me that an abortion could/would have some devasting effects on your life. Many women have thought they could have an abortion and there would be no more problem. They weren't prepared for the emotional maelstrom that followed. Know as well, that there are no guarantees that you will ever be able to become preganant again, even when you feel the timing is right. (This by the way, was one of the arguments my mother used against adoption. And, of course what she said was true, although my other 2 children show it was not in my the case.)
For me and my son, adoption was the right answer. I'm still convinced of that after 33 years. It may not be the right answer for you. (just a thought -- baby or married man -- relationship with the baby is a surer thing!)
I will hold you in my prayers,
Kathy
