Are you pregnant? Do you ever consider adoption?

Question

What would sway you one way or the other?

Answer 1

No never.  When I was younger and more vulnerable and gullible I would have been easily led by the adoption industry's tactics.  But not now.

What would sway me?  knowing how it feels to grow up adopted and the knowledge that all the love in the world from the adoptive family can ever take away the grief of what has been lost

Answer 2

no ... im a guy

Answer 4

I'm 23, got pregnant by my boyfriend of 4 months and he bailed when he found out.  Ever since, he and his family continuously call me, email me, show up at my house and bombard me w/ adoption information.  They claim the "2 parent" argument as they really have nothing else to grab on to...I make a decent income, live on my own, live comfortably and have always felt I had the love to give to a child.  In other words, nothing will sway me.  I personally think adoption is ONLY ok when it involves teen pregnancy, extreme poverty, or drug addictions.  In all other cases a baby needs their mother the most!   I'm so excited :)  Yay!  And my ex and his family can be sad when they see pictures of my beautiful baby and remember that they once wanted to reject it.  s***w them and anyone else but the mother trying to force a decision!  Its always ultimately her choice!

Answer 5

There is no way that I would ever put a child up for adoption.  There would be no swaying in my mind.

Answer 6

Could you please clarify your question??

Do you mean - if you are pregnant - would you consider giving up your child to adoption??

If this is the case - then - for me - absolutely not.

Nothing would sway me.

I would find any way possible to look after my own child - no matter the circumstance - or at the absolute worst - make sure a trusted family member could take over the care.

I was adopted myself soon after my birth - and my adoption didn't need to happen. (my mother and father married soon after my birth - and had 3 more kids - it was my grandmother that pushed for the adoption because of the shame of baby out of wedlock during the 60's)

I don't know if my life would have been better or worse - I don't have a crystal ball.

But - I do know that I wouldn't put my child through the pain & confusion that adoption placed on my life - living - essentially with a family of strangers.

I love my adoptive family very much - but the ties of biology are very strong. I should have grown up in my own clan.

Just my honest opinion about my life.

Answer 7

I am pregnant. I don't understand what you mean by adoption. If you mean would I adopt this child out - no way. Would I consider adopting a child - possibly.

As a foster child myself, I have been giving a lot thought to becoming a foster parent myself.

Answer 8

I would definetly adopt a child because of the money.
