"It hurt me because I didn't want to do it," said Roman, 20, of Roselle Park. "I wanted to take him home with me. I wish I could've. I would think about it -- and then I would have to kind of be realistic because of my situation."
Roman was working a minimum wage job and planning to start her freshman year at Kean University when she learned she was pregnant at age 19. She and her mother, a machine operator, were being evicted from their house and staying with different relatives. The baby's father wanted nothing to do with the pregnancy, she said.
Unwilling to have an abortion, Roman hid her pregnancy from her family and started talking to a local adoption agency she found through a Google search. A woman from the agency met her at Starbucks and showed her a portfolio of prospective adoptive parents for her baby.
