I'm not adopted, and ive never adopted a child. But a family at church that I know has two adopted children. They did an open adoption so that the mothers are allowed to hear about the children and visit sometimes. They don't have any sort of custody of course, but the adopted parents allow them to visit every now and then to see their kids.

Don't give up the baby just because your boyfriend doesn't want it. If you really do want to keep your child, don't listen to anyone else. But don't feel guilty or anything for wanting to put him/her up for adoption either :)
I applaud you for saying decidng against abortion and realizing that there are other options.
Good luck in whichever decision you make!

Good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. - 11th Doctor One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever comes to sit by it.
