[quote=Anonymous]Very specific situation here, but I kept the baby. I was 35 and never married, financially stable, knew I wanted children. Told the father I welcomed and wanted his involvement but that I wasn’t asking for CS as I was making a unilateral decision to proceed with the pregnancy and didn’t feel it was ethical to obligate him financially. He declined to be involved and I moved forward on my own. Fwiw this was a birth control failure so neither of us blamed the other. DD is now a tween and thriving. My family loves her, the father’s family loves her (they were glad that I stayed in touch with them). DD is aware that not all adults are capable or ready to be parents, and that she has a crowd of grownups in her life who consider her a gift. It’s not perfect, I’m aware of that. But I’ve never regretted the decision, not once. Families are made all kinds of ways. [/quote]
