i really dont want to retype it, so i'll just post the PM i messaged to F_L_I_P, even though he can't help with his seven hundred dollars an hours stubborn.gif

"no, she's not a dj. she found out she was pregnant yesterday. she cannot afford to put the child up for adoption, she can't tell her family about it and shes turned to her friends for help. her only option is abortion, but that costs around 450 dollars. i've been trying to help her, but being a kid, i cant do much. the father cant contribute much either. after 6 weeks, the costs rise higher. thanks for listening even if you decide not to help"

crap.
waccoon
okay no im not letting this thread die.

wow.. =\ i dont knoe but for some reason i thought of red cross.. or go to the bank and borrow money and pay them back with a job after her abortion?

Woah, she's going through a lot. All I'm really wondering about right now is: why can't she tell her family? My friend's cousin got pregnant in high school, had the baby, and is now home-schooled. Would that work? Ask for help from an adult?
waccoon
super religious christians.
would disown her in a second

why doesnt she ask a bunch of friends to pitch in...eventually it will add up, and eventually her parents are somehow going to find out why not let them help her get thru it now?

she already has. she has six weeks. i only managed to get around thirty dollars, and that was from my own money.

With all of the money from friends, how much does she have?
cleec

not much. she has a minimum wage job.
pbear
Can she raise enough within 6 weeks?

If she tells her parents she'd have a much better time. If her parents are truley christian then they should understand to help their child. THey Might be hecka dissapointed but its better. Tell ur friend to suck it up and tell her parents.

hi waccoon..hehe..

anyways..

quite honestly...christians are forgiving...and should be too...unless her parents are the kind to kick out the child once they turn 18 and expect the "kid" to support themselves..

so she could possibly go to her parents for support...if they won`t accept...well..she`s got her loyal friends right?

she can survive..many have..

but it`s all her choice that is..

I kon how your feel Coon...my friend was welll im not goin to get in to that story with out her permission but she got pregnant....she had to have an abortion because she could survive the pregnancy....but umm i would have to say that she needs to let her family now....being disowned or not its a risk.....but then again...if she waits to long she will have to have the baby....so either get her to tell her family or save money, have the baby, and put it up for adoption.....Either ways it goin to hard...and without her family knowing its goin to be even harder...I wish her the Best of Luck....i hope everything gets figured out
m@dcow
how bout welfare... there are programs that help with these problems... her family should help... it's nice to know her man's still with her... bon chance...

She should contact planned parenthood and see what they can do.

I've heard that she can get $$ from the gov't or something. Where does she live? It probably depends on the state too.

hey... well maybe you can ask around to random people and ask them to pitch in. i thought the redcross or whatevers did that thingy where you can abort it for free. sad.gif dude that really is... overwhelming. i cant imagine how she feels. cry.gif

no no no!! adoption shouldn't cost the mother a PENNY. the foster parents or whatever you call them pays for EVERYTHING (hospital bills, doctor bills, food, clothes). and she would regret gettin the abortion! I had an abortion, I was 17 1/2 weeks pregnant and that shit cut me and affected me in so many ways. I have dreams about babies and everytime I see a baby commercial I cry. My baby wouldve been born on March 28. When she sees an ultrasound of the life growing inside of her, she would have a change of opinion.

I saw my little angel's hear beat and all 5 fingers, and it moved. I felt it move. But my parents insisted on an abortion. I didnt even give adoption a glance at. It's better to give it up for an adoption. You would know that you're baby is safe and loved rather then knowing that it's dead!

Abortion isn't worth it. Tell her to make the right choice.
