- I feel as though it would be 'less devestating' for the child to grow up in an adopted environment

Honestly I think you are wrong...I am half-adopted...I went 25 years not seeing my bdad...I am soooooooooooooooooooo glad that my mother kept me. I love my mother's family more than anything in the world...they are me and I am them....I have recently reunited and discovered that I'm also a part of my bdad and his family and that is joyous to me...I am bitter that I didn't know them all my life though....
I think that if your bfriend wants to raise HIS child he should...
why not?? if YOU don't feel you can raise your child...in all fairness to the child let the child's father make his own decision about that.
I am soooooooooo happy your boyfriend is considering raising this child. give him that opportunity...let your child know at least half of where he/she came from....
