Xanthus,
Kevin gave you some good advice, especially about being the best father you can be. Regardless of what happens, remember that the child didn't choose to be created, and thus you have to do your best to make it right for him/her.

I really disagree with your philosophy that there is no such thing as an accidental pregnancy. When a birth control method fails, it is an accident. It's kind of like saying that there is no such thing as a car accident because every time you get into a car, you could run into something or something could run into you. That doesn't mean that you intend for it to happen. If you don't intend for it to happen, it is an accident. I suppose for some, the only purpose of sex is procreation, but for most, it's also an intimate way to express the deepest form of romantic love possible. To me, any unplanned pregnancy is an accident, including my own two children who were both surprises to me. When you take reasonable precautions against becoming pregnant and you get pregnant anyway (and I know people whose vasectomies have failed even), I would call that an accident. I don't expect that we'll agree on this ever, but I wanted to present another viewpoint anyway.
