Is it difficult to give up your baby for adoption?

Question

My sister is 24 and 6 months pregnant. She had originally decided to keep the baby and raise it with her boyfriend, but they have broken up and they have no plans to get back together. Now she's considering adoption, but is afraid it'll be a choice that with haunt her the rest of her life. If anyone has given up a child for adoption, how do you feel about the choice now?

Answer 1

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]
