For anyone who has given up their baby for adoption....?

Question

Are you glad that you made that decision? Do you think that having an abortion would have been easier? What was it like to give your baby up?

Answer 1

im 5 months pregnant and i am planning placing my baby in christian adoption. i made the mistake of getting pregnant and i wasn't going to make another by murdering the baby. i want to attend school in the fall and i know i wont be able to provide for her. im making the best choice for the both of us.

Answer 2

Any woman who is "glad" she abandoned her child should be hung at high noon.

Abortion is the easier, better, and more merciful option vs. abandonment.

Answer 3

I have a close friend who chose "open adoption". She chose her daughter's adoptive parents. She has scheduled visits with her birth child and really feels she made a wise decision. She is still able to know her daughter and know she is ok, and at the same time she was able to fullfill the dreams of a family that is able to provide well for the child and couldnt have children of their own. For her, everyone benefited from the adoption.

Answer 4

My wifes child was adopted,through trickery and not very legal...she is mentally disabled "now". Her son born on 5/2/91 was born a Devon but is now a George.**ETA : For the thumbs down people : Walk in Frans shoes,you too would be disabled,you haven't a clue to the true grief she has suffered in her life...shame on you....I pity you.

Answer 5

i have friend who did an open adoption. She gets cards pictures and visits and she believes it was a great choice.  She was 19 in college with parents who aren't helpful.  She would not of finshed school and would probbally be on welfare/food stamps and section 8 housing if she had kept him. She was not married and not even seeing the childs father anymore. They stayed together for a few years though  but it did not work out.

Answer 6

I wish I hadn't made that decision, abortion was not an option, so I don't have feelings about that, but I do know that for the first 30 years of my childs life I lived a lie and without her, it's something I never quite got over. You still have time so think long and hard and talk to birthmoms before you make this life altering decision.

Answer 7

Abortion would have been easier but I don't wish I had one. I'm glad my child is alive just wish she was with me where she was meant to be. Living without her is absolute h**l

Answer 8

It's like the never ending chapter of your book.

Answer 9

Even though my dad still isn't sure he would have been able to raise me, he still says he spent 35 years with a hole in his heart after relinquishing me.  He said he used to ask himself all the time things like, "What did I do?"  He searched for me.  We finally reunited in 2001.

He says giving me up was the hardest thing he ever did.

My nmom died so I couldn't ask her.

Answer 10

do not do abortion
