It's your body, so the decision for this is ultimately yours. If you do decide to keep the baby, Planned Parenthood will hook you up with everything you need. Maybe one of the reasons he wants you to have an abortion is because he doesn't think either one of you will have time to take care of the baby. If that's the case, I would encourage you to really look at that. If it turns out that you won't have time, you can still keep the baby. You can simply work something out with an agency that will ensure the baby will end up in a good home. Most of the time, the families these babies go to are families in which it is impossible for the couple to have a baby. You might even be able to work it out so you're still in the baby's life, even if another set of parents is raising it. I really hope everything works out for you. PM me if you ever need someone to talk to. Good luck with everything.
What you explained is called an Open Adoption, and they do exist. She would just need to find a family that wants an open adoption, since once she gives the baby up for adoption, the choice is no longer hers.
