I think you should keep it too...

if it's what you want to do, but don't expect any help from him. My son's father is from Saudi Arabia. When I got pregnant accidentally back in 1983... he wanted me to have an abortion but I didn't. He talked of marriage until I got pregnant. He left me and my son has never met his father but I was so happy that I had him. I have never been able to have any children since. He's my only child and I love him dearly. I haven't seen his father since he left me in 1983 and have no idea where he is.

Good luck on what you decide to do.
