Teen Fathers
Even though the site says "Teen Mothers Together", this site is for you too. It can be the place where you share you feelings, as most guys don't or it can be the place to just see what it's like for other teen fathers out there. Get advice about a situation or whatever it may be. You can be a single father, experienced the loss of a child, or co-parenting with your son/daughters mother but you join everyone right here on the forum and just chat. Hope you find it as helpful as the mothers :)
Jaxon's Story
In early December 2011 I was 17, and I was on holiday with my family when I met a nice girl. One thing led to another and we ended up having unprotected sex. I went home, back to my city a few days later. We kept in contact for a couple of weeks but that soon fizzled out and I went on with my life. Then in May this year she contacted me to tell me that
she was pregnant with my baby. I drove up to see her that weekend and talk about our options, but as she was already 5 months along when she found out she was pregnant she wasn't able to get the abortion that her and her parents wanted. We talked and she decided that she couldn't handle a baby, and she was going to put the baby up for adoption. I couldn't let my baby be put up for adoption, so we decided that I would bring the baby up, and be the sole guardian. She wouldn't have anything to do with the baby.
Our baby was due on 5th September 2012, but she was born 9 days early on 28th August 2012 weighing 6lb 2oz. A week after she was born I took her home from the hospital, and we drove back to my city. My parents had kicked me out when I told them I was going to
be a father, and I am now living on my own in a two bedroom apartment. I quit school when I was 16 to work for my father and I have a savings account that I've been using until I can get back to work. My cousin had a baby girl last year so I've been lucky enough to get given all of her clothes, toys, infant seat, bassinet and other baby equipment for nothing. Today(11/13/12) my girl is 11 weeks old and weighs 12lb 8oz. She has colic so its pretty noisy in our house lol.
