<prompt> Human: Im 22, Im an engineering college student with a year and a half left to go.I come from a very close community that has its old culture still ingrained within itself. This community is rather large, and I had been fortunate enough to have been born to great parents and a generally good amount of friends to turn to.Unfortunately, I hooked up recently with an ex of mine, and the worst case scenario seems inevitable. Shes 2 weeks late, and Im very stressed out on what I can do.The thing is, this community completely shuns pregnancies out of wedlock, and I know for certain I will lose all forms of support and she as well, meaning we will be kicked out among other drama and whatever other hell may ensue. We will likely be on our own; Ive stressed for weeks and its crippling me inside. I know its very unhealthy, but its hard to think I may lose my family, friends, and my youth due to this. Ive decided to be proactive about it now. I work a part time job, and I believe I can come up with 30 hours while going to school making about 1500month. Im not ready for a child, but I will own up to my responsibilities and do whatever it takes. Im admittedly scared, I have no one to turn to, and abortion is not an option for her..Ive never thought Id be someone in a position like this. I know I have good credit, that is not an issue, but Im worried about whether or not I qualify in getting my own place. Plus, how much should I expect to pay for utilities and everything else?I figure I will graduate and then move states. I have to stay where I am now, as not graduating is NOT an option. I need this degree, its the only thing Ive worked for my entire life, and I know that with it I can be successful. I understand that for these next 2 years, I will likely see rock bottom and go to hell and back, but I have to stay in school, and fortunately Im allotted loans from FAFSA for just enough to pay for each semester at university.Any input is greatly appreciated, I know Im forgetting costs and what not, and I could use advice on what to do.Assistant: Have you considered adoption?Human: Id feel really guilty doing that. I hate that this could ruin everything for me, but adoption seems like the easy way out and I know Im responsible for my own future and wrongdoings. I feel like Id have to own up to this and help raise a child.  <response>: If you cant afford to have a child, if your relationship with the mother is not stable and will lead to an unhappy home, if it will cost you your family, if you wont consider abortion, then really adoption seems like the logical choice. You seem to have a good moral character and want to do the right thing. But if you think it through the right thing here for the child, is to grow up in a happy healthy stable home. So by that metric the right thing would seem to be adoption. Just my two cents.
