You Do Have Other Options

I hope to reach out to those who did a 'mistake' and got pregnant and don't know where to turn to.

Please know you can talk to me.....I am willing to listen, to help you from committing another sin like killing the child you are carrying.

Yes, you have committed a mistake, doesn't mean you have to shoulder it all by yourself. Try talking to your parents, aunties, sisters or teachers. Don't expect them to welcome your confession with a sweet smile & big hug, though. Let them vent their disappointment.....but after all is said, they will sit and look into your problem as a family.

What makes you think killing the innocent baby will solve any problem? Do you know that you do have other choices in life. That is where the saying, 'two heads are better than one' comes in. Know your rights. You can't get pregnant alone, so don't shoulder the problem alone. Your partner should be just as responsible, but if that is impossible....you still have other options.

If you can't keep the baby, give him/her up for adoption. Do you know what that innocent baby can do for a childless couple? Do you know how much love this child can get from this couple? Do you know how much happiness this child can bring to the couple? So please, never take the shortcut......you do have other options.

How would you like it if your mum (and dad) did what you did to the innocent baby, to you when you were born? Would you like to be thrown into the rubbish bin? Thrown in the backyard? Thrown in the drain? Flushed down the toilet? Left you for the wild to feast on? Dogs, ants, snakes, crocodiles and what more you can find out there. How can you let another beast, hurt the child that you carried in you for 9 months, feast on your child?

How can you wrap the child in old newspapers and leave it by the roadside? How can you wrap the child in a plastic bag and dump the poor thing in the dumpster? He/she deserves more.

There are so many agencies, organizations and couples out there who would willingly take the child and give him/her a good home, shower him/her with love and tender loving care, good education, if you cannot do so. So please, think again, you do have other options.

If you find that you cannot talk to those you know and you need someone else to talk to......please talk to me....write to me.....Kay.
