You have received some very wise words. I would like to add another thought. If you choose to place, one day, maybe in the not so distant future if you choose an open adoption, your son is going to ask you why you chose not to parent him. What will your answer be? Do you think that your son is going to think it is reason enough?

Also, someone who loves you with his whole heart would love all of you, including your son, who is a part of who you are. Love and relationships are hard enough without conditions being placed on them. Essentially your boyfriend is saying, "I will only love you if you cut your child out of your life." He is asking you to choose. Do you really want to be with a man who would ask that of you?
