Most who give their baby up for adoption do not sit and ponder that decision their whole life, know that, okay? In fact, most go on to lead a normal life and eventually have a family of their own when it is an appropriate time. Raising a baby is very hard and time consuming. It's okay to say it's not right for your life right now. It really is.
They do things like 'open' adoptions now in which you'd get pics of the baby and info and maybe even see the child from time to time. And as a great friend of mine here at med help has expressed---- she was adopted and feels so blessed that her birth mother had the great wisdom to think of HER first and give her a better chance with a family that was ready for a child to enter their lives.
No one should push you one way or the other--- you have to do what feels right for you. Just be realistic about the choices. None of them are perfect and none are wrong. It's what is best for you. peace
I'm considering adoption but I'm not sure. I just feel like I will regret it in the long run. I have everybody in my ear telling me negative things then turn around and say "well whatever choice you make I support you" I'm already 15 weeks and I think that's too far along for an abortion. I don't want an abortion anyways because I tried to take misprostol to abort the baby and it didn't do anything, I think my baby is a blessing. But, I'm very confused because I'm single and I don't wanna do this alone. Everyone is telling me how hard it is. Like I'm stressing real bad because I feel like this is my first child, I'll be going through all this pain, have stretch marks and everything just to give my baby up for adoption? I'm considering adoption but I just don't know
Oh my goodness, no. It is a very selfess act. When we know it's not a great time to have a baby for us, letting another couple have the opportunity to raise a child is really a beautiful thing. I so admire women that make this responsible choice and it can be the absolute best thing for everyone involved.
So, you are considering adoption?
Its so not selfish for whatever reason. There are so many people who can not have a child of their own that you could be blessing with a little miracle. Whether its cause u don't wanna or you just can't do it, giving someone something they can't create on their own is so not selfish!
Actually it depends on the reason why you want to do it. But sumtimes we have to be selfish!!
Not at all. I think if you believe the child would have a better life then good for you, you'll be also helping out a couple who can't have children.
That's one of the most least selfish things you can do.
