I believe if you truly want the best for the child, and you are thinking about the child’s best interest and their interest alone then YES adoption is always an option.
Dealing with infertility for so long, it would be hard for me to give a child up. However, if I could not feed the child, if I was living on the street, was alone and not able to care for the baby, etc. I would absolutely give it up for adoption. No, it would not be easy. And yes, it would probably be something I would think about every single second for the rest of my life, however I would never allow a child to suffer, or not be taken care of correctly.
If there is no other way for a woman to take care of that child, then adoption is the most loving and unselfish act a mother can do — she truly cares for the child’s well being if she is strong enough to give it to a family who can take care of it.

Probably not, no. But I’d much rather do that than kill my baby!! I would never have an abortion, and if I wasn’t able for some reason to be a mother, I would have to make that tough choice to give my child a chance at a better life!!

Personally if i had to i would put up my baby for adoption before i would abort it for the simple fact there are many people in this world who are struggling to conceive and would love a baby.

I don’t believe in abortion so I would give my baby up for adoption if I could not raise her. I would rather give her a chance at life than to kill her because I didn’t want anyone else to have her.

I would never give my baby up for adoption, BUT…… I also had a planned pregnancy so I wanted my baby and I was ready to support him emotionally and financially.

Well why is it easier to kill your baby then to give it a chance at having a good life with a loving family? Trust me, adoption is not easy. My brother and his then gf have their son up for adoption. They were 19, had no plans of staying together, and were smart enough to realize they could not raise a child. I think was an incredibly mature and selfless decision. They chose to have an open adoption. While it broke their hearts to give their son up, they chose to do what was best for the baby, not what was easiest for them. They were able to choose who he went to, so they KNOW he is being given a wonderful life. Adoption is difficult, but it is giving your child the gift of life. That is what being a parent is all about, doing what is best for your child. Even if you are that childs parent for only a short time. Believe me, the hardest thing I have ever had to do was kiss my nephew goodbye, knowing I would probably never see him again. But I am happy for him. I am happy that he is happy and loved. Adoption is always a better option over abortion. It’s the difference between being selfish and selfless.

I don’t think I could put my baby up for adoption unless I absolutely couldn’t care for her, and then giving her up would break my heart.

Then it is not an option for you. My husband and I are working to try to adopt through our state now. However, lots of women have been down this road. THey don’t believe in abortion, yet they find themselves not knowing what to do with a child for the next 60 years. I’m not saying they don’t regret it, but many know they can’t do it.

I wouldn’t be able to give my baby up for adption just like I wouldn’t be able to abort my baby. I got pregnant at 17 so I have been in that situation and now I have a beautiful 1 year old son! Wouldn’t have done it any other way.
