First of all you have to decide if YOU want to raise your baby or not. There are all kinds of agencies that assist with formula, diapers, etc. There are also programs that will provide childcare if you need it while you train for a career, if that is a problem. If you want to raise the baby, there is always a way...and babies really just need the basics...food, shelter, and love.
If you do decide to let someone adopt, consider open adoption so you can be a part of your babies life. You will always be the child's mother, regardless of the decision you make. Don't lose contact though.

I just want to say that, in my opinion, children do not get in the way of your dreams. They may make them more difficult to attain, but they also add so much more joy to your life!!! I was FREAKING out (and this is an understatement) when i found out i was pregnant. I didn't think I'd get through school, be able to support this child, meet anyone who has kids. But- I joined a moms group, finished school, and am working! Two of my sisters also had babies at young ages - (I think our ovaries are way too big or something) who of which live 5 hours away from me, and are amazing parents. Everything has worked out. If you stay focused, if you set goals, you will be able to do this- if you are willing. I've never put any kids up for adoption, but I have had the option. I have been petrified of the future and of the baby growing inside. And, I am so in love with my child. It amazes me how close i was to abortion, how upset i was about being pregant. You just have to prepare yourself, surround yourself with support groups- go online and find some! Meetup groups are very helpful! Wake yourself up, GET emotionally READY, find the resources to help. If you want this child, YOU CAN DO IT. OH, and a little more advice, If you do decide to have this baby, naps are ESSENTIAL in keeping you and the baby sane. Good luck!!
