Question

What are the negative & positive outcomes of adoption?What are the factors due to unwanted pregnancy?

Answer 1

I am adopted and it is an excellent road to take.  I have a closed adoption, which means I do not have access to my birthparents information until I am eighteen.  I will tell you, it feels natural.  I think about my birthparents, but I also love my adoptive parents.  There isn't one negative part of adoption.  Thank you for choosing adoption instead of abortion.  It means the world to adopted people like me.  Adoption really means that you have twice as much people loving you!

Answer 2

Im not sure what you mean by factors? And Im not sure if you are looking to adopt a child, or place a child? But i can tell you what I know. There is such a thing as an open adoption. It allows the adoptive parents to meet the birth parents and get to know each other. You can decide if they are the right people for your child. You can also work out ahead of time how involved the birthmom will be with the child. That eliminates the "negative" of wanting to know who the parents are. Because all children have a right to know where they come from. If they know from the start, they will never have that empty feeling, like they dont know who they are. The negative then becomes, the actual "walking away" done by the birth mother. That is harder than finding out a loved one has died, and more painful that child birth itself. I am a birth mother, and that was the hardest decision to make and the hardest thing I've ever done. The "aching hole" in my heart lasted about two years. But I have an active relationship with him, he knows where he came from. And I am satified with helping a deserving couple have a family they would otherwise not have. Proud of myself for being strong enough to make this decision and follow through with it. And certain that my boy is in a loving family where he is well provided for and loved. Now my visits with him are pure joy, not regret or heartache.

Answer 3

The positive aspects are that a child first of all gets a chance to live his life, instead of being thrown away.  Secondly, a couple gets the opportunity to give a loving and fufilling life to that child.  The negative outcome is that it is a tremendously hard thing for a birth mother to go through.  My sister placed a child for adoption when she was seventeen because she was not ready to be a parent and the father was not a good influence in her life and could not partner with her.  I had my son at 16 and had a birth family picked out just in case.  I knew in my heart, however, that I wanted to raise my son and his father was an excellent person and we've been married now for ten years.  If a mother cannot provide the life she wants for her child, than adoption is a beautiful choice that respects life and the wonderful blessing that a child is.  If you are facing an unwanted pregnancy, know that there is help for you to get you through the pregnancy and afterwards, whether you choose to place or to raise your child.  Catholic charities is an organization I know of, but there are hundreds others that can help out a mother who is facing an unplanned pregnancy.  I would think the loss you would feel after an adoption is far less sorrowful and lingering than the loss you would feel after an abortion because you have given your child a chance and can remain a part of that child's life through an open adoption process.

Answer 5

Well i can tell you about my experience of a birth mom's point of veiw. The positve is that my little girl has a chance of a really bright future she has 2 wonderful paretns that want to be parents. I gave my greatest gift in the world to a couple who treat her just like the treasure she is. The negative is that you have the loss of a child. Even though i do get to see her and i'm gald she so happy i do miss her and i sometimes wish i could just take her home with me. Its the hardest thing you'll ever have to do but for some women is it worth it just because they know that they're baby is happy.

Answer 6

I don't think anyone really knows the ramifications of adoption on either the b mom or the child in the long run. As a bmom I always felt bad about giving my child up and it afected me in may ways and my bdaughter always had feelings of abandonment, even though she loves her mom, she always felt something was missing as did I.

Answer 7

The positive is that you get the child youve always wanted and the negatives are the child may want to find out who the real parents are
