None of you have obviously gone through losing a CHILD who was just over 20 weeks gestation. Yes, my twin boys were born at just over 20 weeks. Yes they were alive for several days and if it wasn't for some other complications they could have lived -- many others do. I talked, they responded by reaching out and grabbing my fingers just as they did during the ultrasounds WEEKS before.

The Drs wanted to abort the babies due to complications (Twin to Twin Transfusion syndrome). They said there was no chance to be born alive, etc. They were wrong. They were born alive and lived several days, not hours, and died due to complications NOT associated with their gestational age.

I dont' care what any of you say, I KNOW the child is living inside of you. Kittylix, you are only a few weeks away from where my children were. What you do with your body is your choice, but please think everything through.

If you were raped or had an unexpected pregnancy, alright. Get the abortion done as soon as you find out. But you are saying this was a wanted pregnancy and you want out because your BF left you. Thats rediculous. I know of several adult webmasters who have adopted, I know a few more who have wanted to adopt but couldn't find a newborn child. I know of 4 families locally here in Tampa who are on a waiting list to adopt a newborn. In many cases you can have all of your medical paid for if you choose adoption.

Even if you don't choose adoption, you could have court ordered support paid to you by the father. There are so many different options... think them through.
