Remember to give your parents some time to absorb all this.

Keep in mind, your parents may not have even known that you were sexually active. Are you asking them to absorb and accept that their young daughter has been having intercourse and is pregnant, all at once?

It's very likely that their first reaction will reflect the anger and shock, but with time, they will come to the understanding that this is something they need to help and support you through, something that cannot be changed at this time. You need to remember to give them the time and space to make that realization.

If you are interested in learning more about how you can continue to acheive your dreams while still making the best decision for your child, consider adoption. Birthmothers who work with Lifetime Adoption qualify for college scholarships to help them reach any goals they wish to set for themselves.
