I am a 35 yo with two beautiful children. i am unmarried and struggling financially.I live in Austin , Texas.

I just found out yesterday that i was pregnant. I dont know how this could have happened, as I have been using protection, and have not had any "accidents" with condoms. C'est la vie...*sigh*

Bottom line for me is i simply can not afford to carry any child to term, with the state of my finances and curent situaton. i have been looking into abortion (I abhor the thought) options , but dont want to do that.

I have heard of private adoptions and know that there are cases where the family help the expecting mother so that she can indeed carry to term, but i dont know what the laws are or where to find a family internested in such an arrangement.I have also heard of horror stories on the news of despicable women scamming families , so I dont know how comon a pracitce this is, when honorable and genuinely financially destitute birthmothers are concerened who dont want abortion as an option. .

Is it even considered "couth" (lol) to ask this? I dont want that option, but in order to carry a child to term, i would not be able to work as much, and I jsut simply do not know what to do.

any advice would be greattly appreciated.

Please note that this is not a soliciaton or an "option". I simply CAN NOT afford to carry a child to term right now, so i am trying to find any option BUT abortion if I can/
