Yes they can.

And the ironic thing is, that when adoption is supposed to give a child a “better life”, the child will go from rich, well-educated parents to some single, psycho bi-polar adopter with a drinking problem.

Dear Sprite,

NO ONE can know the answer to this EXCEPT the people who are having the baby. Only the parents would truly know if they shouldn’t parent based on their personal feelings about being parents AFTER the child is born. (Exception if they are abusive!) What are their reasons for NOT wishing to parent? Without those reasons it is impossible to even guess an answer.

Morally and ethically speaking, one should not create a life that one wishes to be absent from. Even if they chose toplace the child for adoption they should STILL maintain some kind of contact if not sustain a relationship with the child FOR THE SAKE OF THE CHILD. (Again, with the exception of abuse.) MamaKate

you can give a baby up for adoption at any age, there is nothing saying about age. usually adults are more responsible and dont get themselves in that bind, so you dont hear much about it. dawn Dawn R

That is a very good question. As far as I know there is nothing that tells somebody they can not have their baby adopted. Samantha R

Anyone can give their child up for adoption. It just happens more with the women who are poor, or not in a good stable part of their lives. GEE-GEE

They can give it up for adoption. My biological mother was a college grad with a good, stable job, and my biological father was in college but about to graduate. All things considered, they probably would have made good, sound parents, but my bio-mom wasn’t interested in having children, so she gave me up for adoption.

A lot of people assume that I must have been the result of either a teenage pregnancy, or a cast off of some coke-addicted prostitute, but people who give their children up for adoption come from all walks of life.

EDIT: Also, rarely do newborn children go unadopted, so I wouldn’t worry about them being “lost in the system”. Children are difficult to place when they are older or have special needs, but rarely do healthy newborns have difficulty being matched to a family. Rainia W

They have the right to choose.

Except personally as being an adopted child. If anyone had that amount of fianicial support, lawyer, doctor,etc. I do not think they should put that kid up for adoption just because they didn’t want it. Why put another kid in the system because you dont want it, there are millions of children that wont be adopted and in all in worse condition if they werent put in the system. (I’m sorry i just don’t think people should put a child through that because they didn’t want kids. Not being able to support it is different. ) sst

Yes of course they can. Placing a baby is the decisions of the baby’s parents. The reason that they decide to place are irrelevant. If a couple did not want to have children I would hope that they would do things to prevent a pregnancy such as the guy can get a vasectomy. Adoption would be kinder then having the child raised by a nanny and eventually shipped off to boarding school at age 11. Plus I don’t feel it would be healthy for a child to be raised by parents who do not want the child. Children are not dumb they can pick things up. They will sense if you truly like them and want them around. Or if you don’t like them and they are just a nuisance to you. Crucio
