My friend has a big problem...?

Question

so my friend found out she was pregnant and her parents told her if she got an abortion she would be kicked out. she she figured she would put the baby for adoption since she is only 15. but her parents said she made her bed and now she has to lie in it, she has to keep the baby. my friend loves her baby, but feels she cannot keep it. her parents won't listen to reason and have already bought a crib and painted the nursery green. my friend is now 8 months along and while she'd be a good mom, she is really young. she can't convince her parents that adoption is a good idea.

what would you suggest she do?

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]

Sincerely,

Kristin
