feeling better

I’m feeling more positive and not so scared anymore. I’m quite excited. just a few worries, that’s all!

I am 20 years old. I have a son named Ethan. He is 2 and I am expecting another baby in January.

The third one……

I’m 26. I have two kids, 6 and almost 4. I have recently found out that I am pregnant with my third. Well, If I think about it, my 5th. I in the past had 2 abortions. One not long after my oldest was born, and the other just a little over a year ago.

I am very excited about this one. I finally have things together in my life. I have been with my boyfriend for 7 years and we think it is best to have another now. My only concerns are, I have a boy and a girl now, and I don’t want them to feel left out. I am afraid that if it’s a boy my son will feel like he is not mama’s boy anymore. And for my daughter, if it’s a girl, that’s she not daddy’s little girl anymore.

I guess all I can do is hope for the best, and be sure that I give them the same attention I always have. I love my kids so much and I love the one growing inside of me. Do I have enough love for all three. And I can’t forget their dad.

Tell your story!

I am looking for people who are willing to tell their stories for a book for teenage mothers and fathers.

Your name wouldn’t be with your story so people wouldn’t know that it’s you unless you want them to know. I would also love some pictures, but don’t feel pressured. I am going to be getting it published once it’s done and I would love for other teenagers to hear other people’s stories besides mine so they know that they’re not alone.

You can email your story to teenmommies4ever@gmail.com. I’d love to hear from you all! If you have any questions, feel free to email and ask! Thanks!

I’m hopeful….

So, how do I write this without making it sound boring or the same old, same old written by hundreds of women. I can start by being honest and straightforward.

I’m single, want to be a mom but can’t. The most logical thing to do is adopt. But since I’m not Angelina Jolie, Rosie O’Donnell, or Sheryl Crow, I’m having a hard time. I don’t have their money and I’m an unknown. I’m not poor by any means, but I don’t have access to the same resources they do. And why would anyone want me to adopt their baby when there are so many couples out there wanting to do the same? So you can see the odds are against me. So I decided to check out sites for pregnant teens, in hopes of finding someone who might give me a chance if they decide to go the adoption route. Of course, I’m all for you keeping the babies because it just seems right, but for those who can’t and abortion is not an option, I hope you’ll let me know. More to come about me and my journey (if anyone is interested.. 😉
