I just feel like my age makes my family think that I can’t take care of a baby yet and it hurts that they want me and my husband to give our first child away and don’t want to be excited about it. Just cause I am 20
- That’s not a parents place. You’re old enough to be married; you’re old enough to make your own decisions about your body and family. This bothers me on a deep level. I was heavily considering adoption with my first son, the dad and I weren’t together anymore and I wanted him to be loved by a set of parents, Heavenly Father took him back to live with him. I’m older than you. My family didn’t support adoption, well my grandma did but my mom was heartbroken. I’m not married. I got pregnant while we were engaged and he ran. Not very far though lol
My grandma tells me that Babies choose you when they know you need them..
I'm so sorry they are not supporting you. But it is yours and your hubby choice it gets hard but god so worth it. I just turned 21 in July. I couldn't deal with people treating me that way. Everyone has to learn at some point and no one is perfect.
Girl, you don't have to prove yourself to anybody! If they really loved and respected you they wouldn't try to talk you into giving away your baby. I'm only 19 and yes it's extremely hard and I wasn't sure if I was ready, but I wouldn't trade my son for anything in this universe. You just focus on your family (your baby and husband) and forget these negative influences trying to pull you down. You're going to be amazing and they can just shove it.
