I live with my parents who adopted me when I was 2 years old. I am now 32 weeks pregnant and my dad avoids the subject of pregnancy and my mom is trying her best to be supportive even though she is upset with me to. They originally told me I could stay with them, but as I get closer to my the end of my pregnancy I am sensing that I am no longer welcome in their house. Now what, I have no place to go. The father of my baby is so distant that I don't know when the next time I hear from him is. He doesn't help me at all and I am in school and working. I know life will be very hard as a single mother and I am willing to accept that consequence for putting myself in this situation but I am so close to having my child and I do not know where I am gonna find affordable housing, child care or how I can continue to have a relationship with my father who avoids my pregnancy. What am I to do????????

They are your parents, and adopted or not, they love you. I think the feelings you think you are sensing are a combination of the fear you are having so close to birth (every woman goes thru it!) combined with the usual emotional turmoil of just being pregnant. You need to relax and stop over-analyzing everything. While they may not approve of the situation, I am pretty darn sure they won't kick you and your newborn out on the street. There are alot of resources you can use, look into some of the community programs for single moms or low-income housing.

Hang in there, you're almost done! And you'll need all the energy you can get after the baby is born! hehe!

Maybe doing something nice for them or sharing how much they mean to you and the baby and what great grandparents they will be will put them back on track to what is important. And that is family, adopted or not!

As soon as they see their grandbaby for the first time, it'll be instint love. Therefore, things may lighten up for you and the whole living situation. You will also need their help when the little one arrives! It is hard to move out as a single mom. Until then, enjoy yourself the time you have!

I want to put a different spin on this-do you think it could possibly be that you having a baby brings up emotions for them? You said you were adopted and I was just thinking that maybe they are dealing with their own feelings a bit because they couldn't have a baby and they didn't get to go through the whole pregnancy situation. I just was putting that out there because maybe that can possibly be going on within them. I wouldn't worry to much they are still your parents and even if this isn't an ideal situation I sure they will love you and their grandchild.
