[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have terminated immediately.  You are 43.  Who needs a 20 yr old at age 63!

OP has a 3 year old - it's not like she's starting over.

OP, if deep down in your soul you want this baby, keep the baby. At 43, this is probably your last chance to give your child a sibling, so I understand wanting to keep the baby in spite of the less-than-ideal circumstances. If you decide terminating is right for your little family, that's ok too. [/quote]

This is how I feel. Those who are suggesting adoption are ignorant of the process if they don't think the father has input. He would have to agree to it, or she'd have to lie.

If OP decides to proceed she should keep her plan to go back to work. This is a new BF, not an established marriage and it's probably best to have some independence. I hear the dire red flag warnings but the guy is only moving fast because the situation did. FWIW, I had a similar scenario with a late age pregnancy and new partner and ten years later it is working.[/quote]
