Considering adoption as an adult with a full time job.
I'm 25 and pregnant. I just broke up with the father of the baby a few weeks ago, our relationship was extremely toxic and he was emotionally abusive. Had I been in a good relationship with the father, there would be no doubt in my mind to keep the baby. But as it goes right now, I would be a single mom working full time, 2 hours away from any family or friends (I just moved to a new area a few months ago) and I can't see myself doing it alone. I work on a labor&delivery; floor in a hospital, and I would love to do adoption over abortion, but I just can't see myself with a huge stomach and my coworkers asking when I'm due, if I'm excited etc etc. not to mention I will probably end up delivering on the floor I work at as it's the only maternity ward in the area. I don't know how I would tell my coworkers that I'm giving my baby up for adoption, I see it as taboo and for young people (teenagers), meanwhile I'm 25 with a good job and have the means to support the baby but it would just be hard and I would struggle. I don't know what to do. I had an ultrasound yesterday and I'm 10 weeks and I don't really want to do an abortion at this point and I would love for my baby to go to a family who wants it and can support it but I just feel that it's not feasible or justifiable in my situation. Just wanted to vent a little bit and any insight would be appreciated.
