I [19F] am ~7w pregnant with my boyfriend [21M] of almost 3 years. Shotgun wedding troubles? Plus a lot of other things...

Thank you for your response. You're right. I shouldn't marry this man in haste. One big decision shouldn't be followed by another big decision let alone impulsively.

I've been dying to tell my mom but I know it's got to be in person, so I'll be able to tell her in a month. I'm really scared but she's my biggest support, always.

I do believe adoption would be the right choice, and I've already started paperwork with the American Adoption Agency. I like that they allow me to still have keeping the baby as an option, so I don't feel "trapped".

You're right, my feelings, nor his matter right now. It's about the baby. I wish I could be the best person for this baby, but given the circumstances, I'm not... and I'll have to accept that.

I'm going to talk to my partner about the option of not marrying.
