Everything could be honest and legit, but if it seems fishy then that's just the way it is.
Regardless, I would be surprised if you got your boyfriend back. At least at this point. There is a modern saying, "For every beautiful woman out there, there's a guy who's tired of her s**t." Basically saying that there's two parts to every person, what you can see and what you get to know after knowing them. Inside and outside. Regardless of what you're taught, both are important to you consciously and subconsciously. What a person looks for is the balance of those two that they can live with and can love. I think that your boyfriend loved you on the outside, but the inside was a little too... off for his tastes. He couldn't deal with it and couldn't love it. So he moved on. Unless you work on and fix that, which having a child could cause you to do, that won't change. You've got the same tendencies and the same problems. If he got fed up with them enough that he left once, he'll do it again.
This is the part when you have to grown up and become an adult. You have a little person to think about and you need to figure out what is going to happen with it. There is no evidence here that you've talked to him nor have a plan forming about what you're going to do after the birth. If you're going to do adoption then you're going to need to contact the proper agencies and get that ball rolling. If your parents are going to get custody of the child then you need to make sure you know the process and that your parents are ABLE to do this. You're going to have to start talking to local and stated agencies about child support and what you need to secure that. There is also custody issues, he might not want anything to do with the child now, but when he matures he is going to want to. Get that in place now.
You have a lot of work to do. You have to face it and start on it now. It is going to be hard and heart breaking. You will cry and question EVERYTHING that is going on here. There is precious little anyone can do to prevent that. You've played the adult game and now you need to put on your adult panties and deal with the results of the life choices you've made.
