Absolutely! I love my child independant of her father. She is an individual person, not an extension of him.

it depends on how you feel about being a parent to your child. your child should not be an extension of your boyfriend-dumper, your child should be treated as your child, period. if you tend to feel ire towards the child and might just take your blames and hurt feelings on him/her, you better not keep the baby. now if you love your baby, forget about the jerk-bf, keep your child and do everything to make life good for both of you.

of course, I would because I have a family who can help me out if daddy wasn't around. I would die for my baby.

Definitely!!! Even though the "dad" is a turd and doesn't want to take responsibility for "sticking his needle in the haystack", that is not the child's fault. And being that women are becoming more and more independent, then you can definitely take care of the child, with a little help from the family I am sure, but you can do it!!
