Another thing to keep in mind is that, normally, things don't stay a secret forever and come out one way or another eventually. So telling your mother sooner rather than later may be for the best. Whether you choose to get an abortion or not is entirely up to you. Some people aren't ready for being a mother yet, and like you said, you're barely 16. Adoption is definitely an option, but so is abortion and the option of keeping your child. It's up to you and what you think is best. Don't let yourself go through this alone in real life, any of it no matter what you decide to do. The truth is, trying to do this all yourself isn't really a reachable goal. Speaking to your mum might really help and she will probably support you more than you think.
