Nicole I am so, so sorry for what happened to you. I know exactly what you're going through. I had my daughter after being raped by my ex boyfriend. She is 5 months old now and the light of my life.

First of all, you NEED to tell someone. Get him arrested. If he is in jail, he cannot harm you or your baby.
Second, take a pregnancy test to make sure you really are pregnant and go to the doctor. Get tested for STD's, make sure you and your baby are healthy.
Third, learn. Learn your options. I see you are looking at adoption...find all the information you can on adoptions in your area. Just know that adoption is VERY hard on your emotions. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle giving up my daughter, so I chose to keep her.

Lastly, it is your choice. Your life, your baby, your decision. Don't let anyone persuade you into doing something you don't want to do. Then again, do what's best for you and your baby.

I know this is a lot to deal with, especially after being raped. The best thing is to tell someone, and if necessary, get therapy. Rape is not something that should be treated lightly. This guy needs to go to jail.

If you ever need anyone to talk to, I'm here.
