At the age of 17, I meet Sergio and we start dating. My parent were strict they would not let me go out with nobody. I convinced my boyfriend to come by my house to ask permission to my parent to date. My father got upset and asked him to leave. Three months later I was pregnant. I knew I was in trouble and I talked with my boyfriend. I thought about abortion for me it was the easy way out. I knew I would not be able to have that in my conscious. I thought what if I have the baby and give it up for adoption. As the months past I grew to love my baby it was inside of me. Now 7 years have past, I am married with Sergio and my daughter is 6 and I so happy I have kept her. She is my world and I could not imagine my life without her.
