My room mate just found out she is pregnant. She is considering giving the baby up for adoption. She can not keep the baby because she and the father are still in college and both parents refuse to help them out financially or emotionally. She is very upset. She knows that if she keeps the baby that she will have to drop out of school and the baby will not have the quality of life it deserves. But again, she doesn't know if she will be able to give the baby up for adoption either. It's very hard for her to consider loving someone so much and giving it away. I mentioned to her that she could have an open adoption. I was wondering though, has anyone ever been involved in anything like this? Being the one who gave the child away or the person adopting? We would like to know the good and the bad, also if you see your child still.
Thanks for all your help, it is a very tough time for all of us.
