At this point, I’m doing research, considering my options. There is more than abortion, adoption, parenting, as I had originally though. There is temporary guardianship (who I would ask to do this, I don’t know, but it is theoretically at least, an option) and several other options. Making an adoption plan (which I am not yet committed to doing) is simply one possibility. That’s why I’m doing my research. At 8 weeks along, I have plenty of time and no one will force one decision or another on me, it will be only what I think is best (as the father has said he will defer to my opinion).

I won’t go into the details here. They’re on my blog but most people here won’t want to read my rambling on the topic. At the moment, I’m learning. I pop over here to ask questions when I can’t really find a satisfactory answer anywhere else.

To me, a name sounds like such a small thing to be able to give to a baby. The a-parents will be mommy & daddy. They’ll get everything from 2am feedings to skinned knees to curfew & prom night. If I’m lucky, I might get to watch form a distance for as long as they are willing to allow it (hopefully, long term but we know these things can’t be forced).
