I do not know but I know that abandoning your own child is sad and If I was adopted I would be really down…I know adoption can be a good thing my cousin is adopted and his parents are great. If you are able to take care of the baby why not do it but if the child is abused and neglected its better off with a adoptive family who will truly love em. Due March 18th with a baby boy=]

wow, people are just so rude on here. I gave a baby up for adoption and I do not believe it is a sin. I see him a lot and he is so much better off. I have never regretted my decision and sleep better at night knowing he is fed and clothed with two loving parents. The real sin is not allowing a child to live a life of fulfillment. I believe how the child got here is a sin, yes. But it’s no ones business but yours. I wish you the best of luck. Cami

Hi Shirley,
It is not a sin to give a child up for adoption and it will not make your load of sins heavier. It will however be a heavy burden for you and your daughter to carry in your hearts for the rest of your lives. We are all going through tough times right now. It hard to see the future when we’re stuck in the present. Reach out to groups who can help you. There are a lot more organizations out there that are willing to help single moms in your situation get back on their feet. Don’t be ashamed to need help. We all need support sometimes. Where do you live? E-mail me and I’ll try to help you find some of those organizations Or if you just want to talk. Stay Strong you can get through this. *Starfire*

Demand child support from her father.

Also if he ordered you out, your husband should have to pay alimony no matter the other circumstances. Truth

I’m sorry you are in such a difficult situation. It must be hard, especially because you obviously feel guilty about what happened. However, your child exists now, and whether or not it was a sin conceiving her does not matter at this point.

She had nothing to do with your affair and should not have to pay for your mistake and be separated from her mother, who she has bonded with and relied on for a whole year. Neither should you have to pay for your mistake by losing your child. God forgives all sins, and you need to forgive yourself and give you daughter all the love she deserves.

You are her mother. She needs you. She doesn’t need to be given away to people who are strangers to her. So, to answer your question, Yes, I believe that would be a sin to give away your daughter for adoption. A mother should not abandon her child if at all possible. Problem Child

No it is not a sin and nowhere in the Bible have I read that adoption is a sin. You do what’s right in your heart—you are the one shouldering all the load. cricketlady

i have never read in the bible that adoption is a sin. Adoption is a beautiful thing, it’s giving someone who can’t have a child a baby of their own.

Whether you can’t provide for your baby, or your not ready, i think giving your child up for adoption is an act of responsibility. Not a sin. =]

No adoption is just taking responsibility Sometimes you just realize someone else could care for her better and give her more things almost all adopted children who know they are adopted would or have thanked their parents for giving them a life they wouldve never had before WestHighCheerleader

I don’t think it would be a sin, but I do think it may be a mistake. I know it is hard for you. Being a single parent is never easy. But your little girl needs YOU and if it is possible to hang in there and try to get help from programs in your area do it. Where is her father in all this? Maybe you can get financial help from him at least from child support and work toward getting a job. A lot of places offer free or low cost child care as you search for a job and will continue to provide affordable child care as you work. Just look into getting help before you do something drastic like that. Once you get on your feet, you can look back and be proud that you made it through such a trying time…with your baby. And you wont have regrets. I wish you all the best! God bless you both!!! vanessa09
