I got pregnant at 19 and we're keeping the baby. or a good reference point though, both my mother-in-law (now in her 30s) and my sister-in-law (just turned 16) got pregnant. My mother-in-law kept my husband and never once regretted it. My sister-in-law is going through a lot, but has decided to keep the baby and raise it.
As far as telling the parentals: I just told them. They were all happy. My sister-in-law was visiting and everyone just kinda knew. Her father didn't know though. He was trying to get her to have an abortion (something no one in our family believes in). All is fine now though.
To the 11/12 year old: ???? Got pregnant at 10?!?!?! I wasn't even thinking about sex when I was 10. Wow. Oh and you should be able to get some kind of help (outside of the homelss shelter). Your parents should really go to jail or something for kicking you out. No child can get a legitimate job and support themselves at that age. That's just horrible. I wish you the best of luck.
Remember there is always a tomorrow and always something to be thankful for.
