Have you sought out any unbiased counseling?? I think it's extremely important for you to sort out all your thoughts, fears, and hopes before placing your baby for adoption. And a good counselor can help you sort it all out. There is a member here on the forums, Brenda Bromanchik, who can probably steer you in the right direction if you don't know the names of any counselors who work with expectant mothers.

This is the biggest decision you will ever make in your life. It is not an easy road, trust me on that one. I've lived with the consequences of my relinquishment decision for 36 years now. For some women, placing a baby for adoption may be the best decision. Some women, however, find adoption to be a permanent solution to a temporary problem, usually a lack of financial resources and/or emotional support from other family members. If the main reason you're planning an adoption for your baby is because of financial difficulties, please be aware that there are many government programs that can assist you in caring for your child.

You mentioned that you're living at home with your parents again. How is that going? Do they want you to place the baby for adoption?
