I just found out that I am pregnant and I don't know what to do. I'm 25 and my boyfriend and I just broke up 2 weeks ago (I think I'm about 6-8 weeks pregnant) and there is no way I'm having a kid with him. Also I can't stand kids so there would be no way I'd keep it anyhow. I had an abortion when I was 17 but I don't really want to do that again. I have read that birth mothers can get some financial assistance from adoptive parents and I was wondering what all that can really include. I work 3 jobs and live on my own, and my work is very physically demanding, so I wouldn't be able to work near my due date. I can barely afford to pay my bills each month and if I missed a single paycheck I'd most likely be living in my car. I don't have insurance, and I have no family support. If I were to give my child up for adoption, could the adoptive parents pay for health insurance, and my full rent while I was unable to work? I saw on some websites that birth mothers have to go into specific housing, there is NO way I would do that. Also, if I gave my child up for adoption, I would love to have it go to a "non-traditional" couple - i.e. older, gay, non-religious, etc - is there a way to find specific parents like that? Every site I've been on has been very religious in nature and that makes me uncomfortable. I myself am adopted and my birth parents requested I be placed in a christian home, and if I ever meet them, there will be a few words exchanged about how THAT worked out. Sorry for the long post but this is just so overwhelming right now, and I know I need to make a decision ASAP.
