Thats sad you should keep both of them , it isn’t either keep both or put both up for adoption. I like Kennedy for a girl , I think you should keep both :)

its mean to put one up and not the other, i think you should keep them

you have no idea how badly i want to keep them both, i really really really really really really really really really really really do. but financially, i can’t do it. i’ve tried to fix it so that i could, that’s all i’ve been thinking about the last 8 months, but i can’t make it work.

Mabey you can get an open adoption, with pictures and visits and stuff.

and it’s going to be an open adoption, so that my son will always know that i love him. and when he get older, i’ll explain it to him. they’re not even born, and i love them so much...

Oh. Cool then. I really don’t care for Kennedy. I love Riley though.

to all you who say keep both, understand that i CAN’T!! i want to so so so so so so badly!! but i can’t. i’m not allowed to...

and church and i don’t get along...

Honestly...whatever makes you think that you and church does not work...you are very wrong. Whatever it is, God will forgive you and you need you think how bad your baby boy will feel when he gets older and sees that you would rather keep his sister then him. God has a big plan for all of us, and you should know that no matter what he’ll take care of you and your two babies. It was His wish to give you twins and it is his desire for you to keep them. I know your scared to, but once you hold them in your arms you’ll never want to let go. But if you do, you’ll never get him back, open adoption or not...and for the rest of your life you’ll wish you left that baby boy in your arms...

God Bless You To Do The Right Thing...Please Do Not Seperate Them.

why aren’t you allowed to go to church
posted by IloveLucy :: 15 years ago | report
i’m allowed to go to church. just bad memories from being there stop me from going back.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
Stop shoving faith down her throught!! God gave us a decision on what we want to beleive in. If she chooses not to go to church, let that be her decision. (Although if you were really religious you’d know that you don’t have to go to church to be close to God.)

Were you raped or sexually harassed , God loves you and he gave you twins for a special reason. He will provide. Go out and find a church, many of them have a singles parenting group to help.

And by the way, would you rather the kids be together and their mother working two or three jobs on graveyard shift to support them, or have the mother on one job and keep one, and visit the other? Chose.

Christian girl - you are right , but God wants us to go to church. Post Creator - God has a plan if your life and will be there for you ,he is waiting for you to call on him
posted by IloveLucy :: 15 years ago | report
If you trust in God , He will provide.

I agree with you I Love Lucy, you are very right....ad Christian Girl, would you rather a son feel more unloved then his sister...I think it’s time you chose.
posted by klg :: 15 years ago | report
He won’t feel loved at all if his mother is never there because she is always either tired or at work. Really now, be rational.

okay, you all want to know why i can’t keep both of my babies? i’m 17. i had sex ONCE. twins run in my family. my younger brothers are twins, and my grandma is a twin. my mom isn’t letting me keep both babies. she said i can keep one or give both up. you don’t understand what my mom is like. it’s her way, or her way. that’s it. i want to at least keep one if i can’t have both. it may be selfish, but she’s my baby! i want them both, and i’d keep them in a heartbeat, do whatever i could to keep them if i could. i also know that in the next year or so, i’m not going to be able to work 2 or 3 jobs. i’ve been working as much as i could this past year, along with trying to go to school, and i’ve saved a lot. my son deserves more than i will be able to give him. in the last 8 months, i’ve done a lot of growing up. i know i can’t keep both, so i’m keeping one. if you can’t understand why i’m doing this, i’m sorry. but this is what it is, and i’m dealing with it the best i can, given the circumstances.

and for those who will say "they’re your children, you can keep them both id you want." the babies father is out of the picture, never spoke to me again after i told him he was going to be a father, and my mother has told me that if i keep both babies, she won’t let me stay in her house. my dad left 3 years ago... the only place i have to stay is at my mom’s. i need to stay there.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
If it’s an open adoption, which you said it was, then he will know you love him. Thank you for giving your child a chance to have a family that can provide. I fully understand your situation, and I pray for you. I’m sure that you will get the support and love you need.
posted by Christian girl :: 15 years ago | report
I would make sure he goes to a good Christian home and visit him every day or maybe live with a close aunt or uncle who really loves you and keep both , have you ever thought of that, give that a try please
posted by IloveLucy :: 15 years ago | report
I think you should give them both up.
posted by klg :: 15 years ago | report
THANK YOU christian girl, for understanding. it will be an open adoption. that’s the condition i gave my mother, and surprisingly, she agreed.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
However....I do understand and God be with you in this hard time.
posted by klg :: 15 years ago | report
Have you picked the name yet? Only four people voted...
posted by Christian girl :: 15 years ago | report
but klg, she’s my baby! giving up one is going to be hard enough, i can’t bear giving up both of them! she’s mine, and i’m keeping her. i know that if i put them both up, there’s a chance that they won’t get adopted together, and then they won’t grow up together. if i keep one, and put the other up for an open adoption, at least they’ll know each other their entire lives.

Don’t you have a aunt you are close to , ask your mother that you want to live in her house and you really want both babies just try
posted by IloveLucy :: 15 years ago | report
there’s only four votes...i was hoping there would be more, but, i do love Riley. another poll will be posted shortly.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
I like Kennedy , Riley is a little popular ,ask your mom if you can keep both
posted by IloveLucy :: 15 years ago | report
i’ve tried for the last 8 months! there’s no possible way i can keep them both. i need a miracle in order to keep them both. how could you think i haven’t done everything i possibly could to keep them? i’m due next month. family wise, this is how it goes. father’s side of the family was never involved. don’t really know them. i’m surprised at how long my dad stayed with us. he was never around. my mom is an only child, i only have 2 younger brothers, and my grandma is in a nursing home.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
believe me, i’ve asked my mom every day of my life several times a day since she told me i couldn’t keep them both.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
ask her , mom but wouldn’t you want to know both of your grandchildren and ask her why she is not wanting both
posted by IloveLucy :: 15 years ago | report
People, understand that life just doesn’t work out the way you want some times. No matter how many times she’s told you that there is no possible way she can keep both, you keep pushing. Just stop. You’re probably making an already stressful situation even more so.
posted by Valentine :: 15 years ago | report
i am tired of saying that i’ve tried hard. EXTREMELY VERY INSANELY hard. now my mom just gets mad at me or doesn’t even answer me when i ask herif i can please keep both. the day they’re born is going to kill me, and will be one of the happiest days of my life, but also the saddest. but i’ll keep asking until it’s time to hand over my son. my last thread of hope is that maybe once she sees them, once their born, she’ll change her mind... i hope.

I think Riley is pretty but spell it--Ryleigh, its more unique.....
and i do understand and it must be terrible...why don’t yo name him anyway?
posted by klg :: 15 years ago | report
i posted a poll to find a middle name for Riley. my name’s Samantha, but everyone calls me Sam.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
i want the name to look unisex. ryleigh is very girly, i think. i’m not sure if i’m allowed to name him...i’ve been told that that’s generally reserved for the parents who adopt him, even though he’s my biological child. i’ll ask next week, when i meet with someone from the adoption agency. i’ve been told they have two couples they think would be suitable. i think i meet them next week...i’m not sure though.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
Maybe you can work something out with the adopted parents.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
Okay, Riley it shoudl be then...what about Riley Dail...........I know the dail is a little much...but its cute
posted by klg :: 15 years ago | report
OMG people! Are you guys really that stupid?? This is a FAKE POLL and you are playing right into it. It was made simply for the reactions/comments!
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
I would call the police on your mother. She cannot force you to give up a child.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
i call the police on my mother, and i don’t have a place to live. not exactly an option. and if i had a digital camera, i’d take a picture of my stomach and myself and upload it to show you exactly how big my stomach is, and how pregnant i am. due date: may 21st. less than a month.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
i understand that you can not keep them both, and how badley you want to. Be sure to send the boy to a very save home where you know the people that take him in, and when you turn 18 and have free reign and your mom cant tell you what to do, take the boy again when he is 1 and you will all be together =]
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
even i know, at 17, that i can’t put him up for adoption, and then take him when i’m 18. i wish i could, but...it’s pointless wishing on laws that can’t be changed. there isn’t anyone that cares about me or my babies, except for one teacher at my school. i’m so grateful for her, but there’s no way i could ask her to raise my baby for a year. open adoption is my only option where i will still get to be a part of my son’s life.
posted by guest :: 15 years ago | report
Your sick! How can you depend that he will understand? He will ask why you kept the girl and feel like you dont love him! Its not fair! I would love to keep both of them! How dare you say that you dont have money. If you dont have money you might what to put them both up for adoption! otherwise you will leave one out and it will reflect on your relationship between you and the boy. You still have to name the boy! Why would you keep the girl? and not the boy? That is so sexist! I cannot belive you!
