I just wanted to add a weird irony that I see in the world. When a girl is young and pregnant and needs to finish school - emphasis is placed on how hard it will me, but then they add, but it can be done.

I am 38 years old, have 3 kids, and have mentioned that I wish I would have gone to Law School and people all try to encourage me to do it - NOW - at this stage of the game. My life is incredibly crazy and way more involved than if I were trying to finish school with one small infant child.

It amazes me, how because I am not young, and I am married, I am assumed to be able to do it - but when I was pregnant and in college - adoption was the only answer. It's such hypocrisy.

I guess what I am saying is, investigate your heart. Adoption changes families forever. You can do whatever you want and need to do. I don't think most of us actually choose our life as it is, it's a path that evolves and changes as we go along. This child can be whatever you want in that path.

Best of luck to you as you make your decision.
