I have not placed my children for adoption, but I am an adopted child. My mother gave birth to me at 20, and for many complex reasons including financial instability she chose to place me for adoption. She made her decision about 4 weeks before I was born, when my biological father hit her out of the blue with the information he was marrying another woman - also pregnant.
I now know my birth mother and have a relationship with her. I love her dearly and my life has been a stable, good one, just like she wanted for me. I don’t bear her any ill will whatsoever, I thank her for her brave decision all the time.
Good luck making yours.

I got pregnant my first time when I was 21 by a guy that I loved dearly but knew in my heart that I didn’t want to marry him nor spend the rest of my life dealing with sharing a child with him. I could not afford a child at the time, nor could he. My parents gave me three options and advised me to chose one of the three - they would support me in any decision I made. Marry him, abort the child, or put the baby up for adoption. I knew marriage was out right away … I knew how I would be if I chose to put the baby up for adoption - I wouldn’t care about the pregnancy and I probably couldn’t have given up the child in the end either. My boyfriend at the time would have fought my decision and end up convincing me to keep the baby.
I prayed and prayed about my decision and chose abortion. It’s not something I am proud of nor do I advise others to decide to abort rather than adopt. Adoption is my first choice …

I had an open adoption in progress .. I’m 21 yrs old, 28 wks pregnant and didn’t want to give up my freedom and I was worried I couldn’t afford to raise a baby .. But you know what, I stepped up to the plate and decided to parent her no matter what.. I just hope that if you’re pregnant, you’ll try finding a way to keep your baby before giving him or her away. Its your baby, its half you, and you are responsible for its life .. Just try to remember that.
