If I were in the girl's situation, having a family that didn't care and little in the way of future or financial prospects, I would look into giving the child up for adoption.
The fact of the matter is that it's not about MY happiness. It's not about MY feelings. Once you have a baby, it's no longer about you anymore. It's about the baby, and as a Mother, I would want to do whatever I can to ensure the baby will have some semblance of a normal life and if I know that I won't be able to provide anywhere near the love and care that a child will need, then I will do my best to find someone who will.
My Mother was adopted and I thank God that she was, and she is also very happy to have been adopted as well and would not trade her childhood or her parents for anything. If she had not have been, her life would have been so much worse. Sometimes, it's best to keep the child within their natural family - a child doesn't need designer clothes and home cooked meals every night to have a happy childhood - but every child deserves a halfway decent childhood and as a Mother, it's my job to see to it that this happens.
In my present situation, if I were to get pregnant, I would have a husband to help support me. We don't make much money, but we both have jobs and there are plenty of government and church services available to us. A lot of women aren't as lucky to have what I have and I feel terrible for them.
If you were a girl, 15 years old and fell pregnant, what would you do?

I cannot tell you how much I agree with this.
