I've been a part of these discussions on
TH before, and I totally have to agree with Josh. I also don't think its fair to disregard his statements just because he's a man and would never have to make this very, very difficult decision. He has a very legitimate claim to a say in this discussion. He would not exist if not for a brave woman who gave up 9 months to give him LIFE.
I guess this topic is such a touchy one for me because I was also a "mistake". My biological mother was 14, and I was the product of a one-night-stand. However she did the brave thing and now I am alive thanks to her.
I have faced this decision myself (yay! 31 weeks pregnant tomorrow!) and chose to keep my baby, despite the fact that it means I have to put a hold on my dreams.
That said, I fully realize that every woman's situation is different, and I understand how incredibly difficult the decision to give up your baby either through termination or adoption can be.
