DEAR PASTOR,
I am a 24-year-old single mother of one child. I just found out I am pregnant. The problem is I found this out two months after breaking up with the father. He wants me to have an abortion but I don't know what to do. I already have to take care of one child by myself and I am not certain I can provide for another by myself. If I have this child, my relatives will be disappointed because I am still in school.
What do you suggest I do?
L.P., Hartford, Connecticut
Dear L.P.,
I suggest that you have this child and give him or her up for adoption. I cannot encourage you to do an abortion.
Pastor
