adopting out my baby im pregnant with

hi, I’m expecting another baby I’m 26 weeks pregnant and still cannot decide to keep it or not. I already have a daughter. I have very Low income. I already have it hard enough with my 18 month old. When I had her I went through severe post partum depression and I’ve had it so rough I know I’m not ready for another baby yet. But yet I don’t want to give it up in a way because the baby could be my babys sister or brother. I have a friend that knows someone who’s stable and doesn’t do drugs and would like to adopt. But what would hurt me is not being able to be called mom or see it alot. I just don’t know what to do.

You need to do what’s best for your baby, this isn’t about you. If you know you cannot provide for the baby and you aren’t mentally stable, then it’s best to give the baby to someone who can give the baby everything they can offer. You could do an open adoption so you can still see the baby and still have contact.
