Not all adopted children feel how you do. I understand that you respect your mother for giving you life and not aborting you, and that is a great thing. But some adopted children don't see it that way. I have a friend who is adopted and he says that much as he loves his adopted family he doesn't think he will ever feel truly wanted because his mother gave him away. He says he would rather have been aborted than given away. Obviously that is just his view, but it shows there are other sides to how adopted kids feel ... I completely respect women who are able to have a child and give them up for adoption, but I for one know that if I go through with a pregnancy I will keep my baby, I wouldn't be able to cope with the thought of someone else raising my child.

The act of rape isn't just a 'painful experience', the emotional side is severe. And then finding out you're pregnant? Giving birth to that child, whether you give it away or not is giong to be a really, really hard thing to do.

To some extent I say that I would have an abortion [up to a point in pregnancy] but when it comes down to it, I may not be able to go through with it. Having an abortion is a massive decision to make, and is by no means the easy way out.
