I want to do it in a way that will end up making things better. If anyone has any advice, please respond.

Why don't you write them a letter..telling them how much you love them and how sorry you are that your pregnancy might break their hearts. Let them know that it in no way had to do with the love you have for them or your respect for them and their values. Give them the letter,tell them you love them and then give them time to take it all in. They will still love you and the dissapointment will fade with time. Good luck and God bless..Teresa..Teresa-Slap@msn.com

If adoption is a possibility, I know that open adoption was the right way to go with our birthmother. We have had a good experience all aorund and it is also better fro the bmom and baby. If oyu would like to e-mail me, I can tell you more about our experience.
