First of all Mizz, I would like to welcome you to the forums and also congratulate you on your pregnancy. I know that you are not feeling as though you are ready, willing or able to welcome a new life into this world, but every child is a wonderful gift.

I know that you are thinking that the end of the upcoming birth is signaling a decision has been made, but I want to stress that this is not the time to feel pressured or to make such a monumental decision. This is the time to enjoy your children and feel the wonderful joy of bringing a new life into this world.

Each and every one of us has a story that lead to the decision that was made. Remember that adoption is a permanent solution to a temporary problem and can't be undone. Take your time and search your heart for the decision that you can live with for the rest of your life. Also, remember that your other children will be effected by your decision. Even a very young child "knows" when something isn't "right" even if they don't fully understand it.

Please keep us posted and write your feelings, fears and questions so that the very caring community here can help where we can. I pray that you will find your right decision in the time that you need and not on anyone else's time scale.
