Do any of you have any suggestions or anything? Have any of you had this situation?

Grow some balls, take responsibility. If you are whining about how to tell your parents, you clearly aren't ready to be a dad. There are plenty of options, none of which should be rushed into. Abortion is fraught with psychological issues as is adoption but -all options- should be considered. If you are really happy as you say, then I'd suspect you want the best for your child, and, given your age, adoption may very well be best. There are plenty of childless couples who would love to have the opportunity to be good parents.

To the previous posters who don't have kids, stfu until you do.
