So. Let's pretend for a while that I have a boyfriend. We're in a good relationship, we think we love each other (but remember, people don't often realize what love is. I have thought I was in love, but found out later it wasn't true.). We have sex. I get pregnant.
He want's the baby, I don't.
The odds of a young man, that goes to school, taking care of and looking after a baby that got concieved outside of marriage, a kid that was a mistake, are really slim. Especially if that guy lives with his parents. In like.. 99% of the cases, the kid ends up with the mother.
Ok, so i'm stuck with the kid, had to drop out of school.
Then me and my boyfriend break up because i was angry 'cause he didn't show much attention to me and our baby. We stop talking. I find out I didn't really love him, i was just a stupid puppy.
Then I'm stuck with that baby, no education, no boyfriend, crappy job, and that's a baby i never even wanted. Is that fair?
In the meanwhile, children are waiting in lines for being taken up to adoption. My step-cousin waited for years untill my aunt adopted him. That kid has gone through stuff you can't even imagine.
He had bad parents.
It will affect him his whole life.
