There are a lot of consequences whatever decision you make.
It seems like you, personally, are interested in parenting. Explore ALL avenues within that. See what kind of aid you can get and so on. Talk seriously to your parents about what sort of help they can offer, can they babysit while you study? And so on.

The thing most people won't talk about as far as adoption as a solution is, are the effects on you. I never got to see my baby, but I still have thought about him every single day since he was born.

I guess my advice is to explore all your options completely before you make any final decisions. A lot of people reccommend taking your baby home for a couple of weeks, even if adoption is what you're leaning towards.

Another thing I've read here often is that adoption is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Ask a lot of questions, there are a wide range of experiences here! It's a great place for support no matter what you decide.

Remember too, follow what is in your heart and you can't really go wrong.
