Answer 5

I  was given up for adoption when I was an infant. It was the most loving and unselfish thing my mother could have ever done for me. I was given such a gift and my life was forever changed. I was able to get a college education and be very successful. My family who adopted me were able to provide me with everything my mother wasn't able to because she was young. The most important thing in adoption is finding a couple who has a strong family, financially secure to offer your child and education and everything else they will ever need, and a house that has love beyond words to give!!!


I always knew I was adopted and every day I am so thankful and feel so blessed for the life she allowed me to have. I can only say that it is a hard thing to do, but I am proof that pure love of a birthmother can open doors for the future for their child.


My husband and I are now in the process of wanting to adopt. We have an amazing life and I want to give back, what was given to me. If I can help you in any way please let me know. I wish you the very best and if you ever want to talk you can contact me [e-mail]

Sincerely,

Kristin

Wow, what a big decision you have to make.  In asking this question you must know you will get alot of various answers depending upon people's experiences and what they have gone through.  

You must take your time and think about what is best for you and your unborn baby.  It is your life, you are the one that needs to face the decision you make and deal with it for the rest of your life.  Giving your baby up for adoption is a very unselfish loving thing to do, if you feel you are not able to have the support or ability to raise the child.  My sister, age 19, had a baby with her boyfriend when still in high school.  She had the support of our family to help her and she has kept her little girl.  She lives with my parents and is working so she can support the baby.  She has also received help through Badger Care, if you live in the US where this is available to you.  It all depends on your support system and what you can provide for your child.

I know many people say that children who are giving up for adoption are unhappy and unfulfilled.  I guess in my experiences I have not found that to be true.  I have 3 adopted siblings and not one of them feels this way.  All 3 are adults now and feel loved, apart of the family and are happy with how they grew up.  I also have several friends who were adopted as young children that I grew up with.  Not one of them has expressed being unhappy about being adopted.  In fact I have found them to all be grateful that their birth parents cared enough to give them a chance to live and have a loving, caring family.

You have a big decision to make.  I pray you will have the wisdom to make the best one, whether it is to keep your baby or give her up.  If you want to talk more my e-mail is [e-mail].

My husband and I have been researching adoption. We have found some good agencies that offer counselling to birth-mothers and who work with them and help them with the decision process. I have not found any that are pushy or who try to encourage a woman to give her baby away if she does not wish too.  They want to make sure you are making the right choice.  However, they do need to look out for the adopting families too.  It is hard on those who are promised a baby and pay in all the money for an adoption only to be told the mother changed her mind.  So please take your time.  Think and pray about what is best for you and your child.

Some good agencies are Adoption Law Network, Bethany Christian Services, Lutheran social services.  Depending on where you live you can google "adoption agencies for the city of _________, and write in you city.  There are many good private adoption agencies out there too.  
Take your time, pray, talk to agencies, your family and God Bless You in this decision making.
