I would also like to echo many of the previous posters and recommend counseling. But as several others have said, please consider a counselor independent of an agency. Think about it, an adoption agency doesn’t have a stake in exploring the options you may have to parent your child. They don’t make any money that way!
I’ve been where you are. The decision you make is not only life altering for yourself, but for your child. Take the time to really explore all the ramifications of what you choose. Choosing to make an adoption plan for your child because you don’t think you can handle parenting and med school at the same time is not selfish. The only person being selfish here IMO is your boyfriend by pressuring you in order to keep his love. I wonder what he’ll withhold his love from you for next.
There are fantastic first moms, adoptive moms and adoptees on this forum. Continue exploring your options!
Good luck.
