Well that is up to you , only you can make the right descion be it abortion or adoption or keeping the baby I say let the baby's father know you are pregnant and see what he has to day find a counseler you can talk to about all of your options and your emotions.

girl by having your man locked up in not a good sing. how long is he locked up for? does he want the baby? what do you want to do? if ur man is getting out in a couple of days or months what ever it may be. and wont get locked back up go for it. but you need to realize that lil ones look up to their parents and is that what you want your lil one to be fallowing. or do you want your lil one to be saying "no my daddy was not there when i was born he was in jail" doesn't sound good. girl hold up head up and think for your baby. don't kill your lil one that is inside of you. give it to a family that wants a baby. or start yourself a family. but that is all another story. starting a family. very hard stuff. think long and hard about it. if you have the support then go for it and you know that you can support ur child then go for it. gut to tell you the truth. yes one can support a child at the age of 17. but when school starts and ur lil ones says mommy i want those light up shoes. and you feel bad cuz you only have $20.00 at the end of the month and still need to buy food. think about that. cuz ur first one are normally spoiled and you will want ur lil one in all name brand. but will you be able to do that. Not on the salary that a 17 or 18 will make. and ur man will not be able to give you child support of he is locked up. so think about it.

i know this sucks but you should prepare to raise this child on your own. i'm 26 and 8 weeks pregnant too with my first child. my child's father has two kids already ages five and two. our relationship is still new, and i don't really know if they are still involved with each other. plus he works and hustles and i can't really trust that he won't end up in jail. we don't see that much of each other already as it is. but when i decided to keep this baby i decided that this was gonna be my baby. i'm sorry to say but minority women like ourselves just can't really depend on our men. we have to be stronger than average. you're blessed to have your family they love you and will help you. but remember to stay focused. do all the things you want to do with your life, you can still follow your dreams with a baby and don't let a man dictate how well your life is gonna turn out. you have a responsibilty not only to yourself but to this child.
