Divorce during pregnancy

3 replies

Suki00000 · 27/11/2018 16:47

I am currently going through the divorce proceeding but then I found I am 6 week pregnant.
I have considered to have an abortion or putting up for adoption but my husband said he would be a sole parent of a baby if it was born.
I strongly doubt this because he has 4 other children with 3 different mums and does not live with neither of them and pays very little for them.

My preference is for him to keep, adoption or abortion.
My financial situation doesn't allow me to have a custody nor as terrible as it sounds, I do not feel able to raise it on my own.
I have a 7yo from the previous marriage.

I'd like to know if there is any way to get him sign a document that promises he will take a child otherwise I would like an adoption process started as soon as possible so that adoptive family can feel included and I also feel supported.
At the moment, he refused to give a consent for adoption.

I know I must sound terrible but I am not prepared to raise his child alone not having an abortion at the moment.

Gosh. What a horrible situation to be in.

That might go against him if he wants to block adoption.

Good luck

I have to be honest with you Suki, giving up a child for adoption will probably be far harder than having an abortion at this stage of your pregnancy.

Your soon to be ex sounds like a really horrible man, having children with so many women and not supporting them much.

Flowers for you because you're in such a difficult situation.

Thank you very much for your honest opinion, I am inclined to having an abortion now after having read adoptees' and birth mothers' stories.
I am having a great discomfort with the idea though.
