From a LIB reader:
My parents are Nigerians, so I am a Nigerian by nationality. However, I was born and grew up in the United States. I am presently in Australia though, because I school here. I have a very big problem and I need advice, but I will try to make is as short as possible. I have a boyfriend and we have been together since my high school. I am a christian and I don't believe in premarital sex. Also my parents are pastors. I had kept to this rule for the 20 years of my life. Unfortunately, sometime earlier this year, some unforeseen things happened and my boyfriend and I slept together.
My
parents always use me as an example to our family friends and they
always talk about how they are so proud of the fact that I am keeping
myself for marriage. Anyways, the unfortunate thing wasn't just that we
had sex, but I also got pregnant. Abortion is not an option for me
because I am strongly against it, but my friend here has a suggestion
for me. She says I should keep the baby, give birth to it and take it
to an orphanage home here in Australia before I go back home. This
sounds like a perfect plan because I don't plan on going home anytime
soon. So by the time I go home, nobody will know what happened. Do you
think I should do what she advises and go back home pretending like
nothing happened? Or should I tell my parents and carry the baby back
home? Facing the embarrassment, ridicule
On the other hand, my boyfriend thinks I should keep the baby but that whatever happens, I shouldn't say he is responsible. Please advise me because I am seriously considering dropping the baby in the orphanage.
Thank you so much. Please publish this, I really want to have the opinion of a lot of people .
