How do i deal with signing the papers?

I'm 17 years old and am giving my son up for adoption when hes born. I know this is what i want to do, but i'm scared the day will come and i will want to back out. I can do that but i've already met the parents and everything. I just want to know from experienced birth mothers how it felt when you had to sign the papers.

Answer:
Well, my family adopted me 13 years ago and are now looking for a baby boy to adopt.Anyway, My mother placed me up for adoption too.I know for my mother it was hard but like you she knew it was best.She still gets pictures of me and letters every now and then.I'm sure his adoptive parents wouldn't mind that.Be strong and remember your doing this for your baby.
if you don't want to sign the papers then don't worry about your feelings not other people .it sounds to me that its hard for you because you don't want too my daughter just had her baby girl at 17 and shes a good mommy.lots of luck.
I would try and remember that you are making the "right" decision for you. You are doing something for a family that is going to be the best gift they could ever imagine. You are still very young and have alot of time to decide on the course of your life...make this a learning lesson and be more careful. Life is all about learning and make sure you don't forget but the pain will be for a reason!! You will move on and one day have a family that you were meant to have. Good luck and keep your head up and God Bless you for making that family's dream come true!
wow. i dont know how you feel, i can just imagine. i have no kids, and have never been preg... but from what you say... you are rethinking... think think think. do you really want to give your child up? is there anyway you can support your child. just remember.. you have been carying it around for nine months.. do you really want to give the child up? will the parents let you see the child? will they let the child know that you are really the mother? can you live knowing you have a child, but cannot be with him or her. i dont want to see you make the wrong choice. but deff think it over.. if you want the child, but cannot fully support him or her... there are programs out there that will help you. like WIC gives you checks for food for like milk, cheeze , cerial, formula. there are places that give FREE formula and baby clothes, and toys.. and welfare.. food stamps... dont worry about being labled.. do the best you can..if that is wahat you choose to do.. GOOD LUCK.. AND THINK IT TWICE
Think about what your life would be like with a baby. Not wanting to give him up is natural, God gave you that feeling. If you decide at the last minute that you can't do it, then don't. You need to do what is right for you with no regard for the family that wants your son. If you're looking out for them, then who's looking out for you.

You just have to decide if it's normal jitters or if you're making a big mistake. Talk to your family, they are concerned for you, what do they think?
