Remember, this is your choice and doing what others want will not ensure that they stay with you. If the relationship has otherwise been good and healthy, you need to assert your desire to learn more about adoption and invite him to learn more with you. Learning about adoption will not make you choose adoption, but it will be empowering.
If the relationship is abusive, do not expect that bending to coercion will make it any better. He may still leave regardless of what you do.
Most importantly, you deserve better than to be coerced by your boyfriend or husband into ending your pregnancy or making any choice you don’t believe is right for you. If your boyfriend/ husband/baby's father wants to parent rather than choose adoption, it is important to be in an active dialog. We can help you access counseling for couples.
