Most to date version (6/14/12)
Four years ago I decided to do something so insanely stupid. I cheated on my then boyfriend of 5 years and right after we broke up I ended up getting pregnant. Not only did I get pregnant but I got pregnant by someone who was 5 years younger than I was, I was 21. I was told by his mother a few times if I didn't get an abortion she would press charges for rape and corruption of a minor. I didn't get an abortion because I know it is wrong and I would never kill a child that for some reason God blessed me with. The father ended up walking away and we haven't spoke in years (5/5/08). I cried everyday, the hurt I was going through was too much to bear. I just wanted the pain of being alone to go away. I knew God had a plan and knew what he was doing but It wasn't until I finally turned it over to him to deal with that it started to get a little better.
I ended up not getting arrested but was still very alone, scared, and still pretty pregnant. I ended up getting fired from my job also where the father worked. About a month after I lost my job I ended up getting a paid college intern ship that ended a few days before my baby was born. (perfect timing right?) I was in college full time with an amazing professor who helped me a lot! I had my daughter between semesters ( I had her on the last day of fall semester) again perfect timing! I had a whole 6 weeks with her until I had to go back for spring semester. I started dating my now husband that I met while I was pregnant. He always referred to my daughter as his own from the very beginning and he did everything a normal dad would do, if not more!
I often wonder if her real father cares or thinks about her at all but then I remember there is someone who loves her and wants to be her dad already right here. Since then we have gotten married and we have two other children!
