Hi Sarah-
First of all take a deep breath and just try to relax, you have alittle over 5 months before you have to decide anything and even then you don't have to make a decision till after the baby is born whether to place or not. If deep down in your heart you want to keep this baby you can do it, there are so many places out there you can turn to for help and they will help you till you get on your feet. I know because 14 years ago I was in your shoes and I have a child that means everything to me, do not make a decision based on temporary circumstances as adoption is a forever decision that cannot be changed once it's done. Investigate social services for help, the YWCA, WIC and there are several other programs that can help. As you do know that placing your baby for adoption is not necessarily the best either as adoptive parents get divorced, have money problems and are human too, and you have one special thing you can give that baby no one else can and that is your love and the bond you will have.
