Go see an attorney..If it is your baby, you do have to help support the child--you cannot force her to give up the baby..
Sometimes what you think is the worst thing that can happen to you becomes the best thing...
Love the baby and don;t be so quick to want to get rid of it....
Go talk to a counsellor and a lawyer..
Trust me...do the right thing and everything will turn out all right...If you don;t know what the right thing is, say a prayer to be guided....
I know this doesn;t sound like a lawyer talking, but I really believe what I am saying

If your girlfriend wants to keep the baby, she has the right to do so. you cannot take the baby away and put it up for adoption on your own. If she keeps it, you will be responsible for supporting the child. If you would like to discuss this matter further, please contact my office at your earliest convenience.
