I feel terrible. I had an unwanted pregnancy and really wanted to give the baby up for adoption but several people made me feel bad about the decision so I decided to have and keep the baby. He is now 3 months old and I feel no connection with him. I really don't want to parent him or have anything to do with him. I am engaged to the father and he does not want to give him up. I will give the baby his basic needs (feed him, change him, bathe him, etc.) but I don't talk to him or hold him like I should be. I desperately want to give him up for adoption. Is it possible to give a 3 month old baby up for adoption??

It is possible but both parents must sign papers that terminate parental rights. It sounds like you're having a really tough time right now. Have you considered leaving the baby with the fiance? Or a family member? You certainly have the right to feel how you feel As long as the best interest of the child always comes first. Physical needs being met are important. Feeling loved and wanted is almost more important. Children tend to disaccosiate by age two if not bonded with a parent/caregiver. Speak to the childs father about how you feel. Not everyone that gets pregnant is ready to be a parent.
