Question
I have given birth to 2 live children. I have a beautiful 3 1/2 yo little boy and gave another child up for adpotion. In turn I've had a handful of medical problems with my kidney's mainly. I just found out that after a night I'd like to forget for the rest of my life, that I'm carring his child. I'm mainly trying to find out my options at this point. I know that I ca have an abortion in my state. But are there anyother opions? Thank you so much for your time.

Answer
Hi Kendra,

I would recommend that you go to this group and get opinions from other women who have been where you are. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unplanned_pregnancy_help/
I feel that at 4 weeks or a little longer, your little boy or girl is already developing. You can find out more information about that at http://www.optionline.org and you might be able to find all your options there as well. They also have a resource where you can find a pregnancy resource center in your area. This would be a place that I would recommend highly. But right now I would say that the yahoo group I mentioned would be a good start. Also, I would hope that you can email me privately at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com so write soon.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
