Single mothers are not good mothers and cannot take care of a sick child on their own. I have certain user in mind.

No, period.

No single mothers should not be forced to give up their kids to adoption unless they wish to. just because a kid is sick and needs constant attention does not mean that she is a bad mother. you sound like you are a jerk

oh come on. What does a sick kid have to do with a single mom. Kids get sick if the mom is single or not.

You have the problem of finding anyone who would wish to take on a sick child.
Most children with truly severe handicaps are in special facilities such as Lanterman State Hospital in Pomona, California. I had a friend years ago who had a child she could manage only until this kid was about four. Then they both had him committed… He suffered irreparable brain damage at birth
I would not knowingly adopt a child who had special needs any more than I would buy a dog who wasn’t healthy, or buy a horse that was lame.

…what is wrong with you? There’s nothing wrong with a single mother.

Not necessarily. What makes you think a person can’t take care of a child on their own? What do you think a parent does when their spouse goes off to work? Honestly, if the person can financially and physically help the child and provide love and care for it, why is that person incapable?
I know plenty of single-moms who are wonderful mothers. You obviously have some preconceptions regarding this situation. If you really feel this mother can’t handle this child then maybe abortion (if the mother is OK with that) is the best option.
Additionally, it is the mother’s choice to decide what she wants to do. You shouldn’t be getting too involved unless it will directly affect you.
Hope this helps

no there are plenty of couples in the same position. why don’t you show a little maturity?

If abuse or neglect can be proven, yes the baby should be taken away.
My personal opinion is that in many or most cases, single mothers should give the baby up for adoption, but I don’t advocate it being done forcefully.
“Single mothers are not good mothers and cannot take care of a sick child on their own.”
Wow, that’s a pretty broad statement. You sound a little bitter.

I think you got a problem.. And I can’t believe you think of something this way. Sorry I don’t agree with you at all jerk… I am single mom and loving it. I have children that special needs and I can take care of them. It their father that can’t take care of his children. I been there since the day they been born and I would never give up my children up for adoption. I love being a mom and I never change that. And I think you just want to start trouble on here.

May 8th, 2009 at 2:50 pm
well now you’re just getting fucking nasty.
APRIL- really? are you comparing my child to a “lame horse”. you’re fuc*ing cun* and should watch what the fu*k you say.

Why do I have this strange feeling that you are “read my profile” in some sick and twisted disguise. What, did your profile get suspended?
Oh well…
I said this to “Read my profile” before and I will say it to you.
Single mothers can be great mothers and Married mothers can be terrible mothers. Being a good mom has nothing to do with your marital status.
What do you have against single mothers? Is it that your husband is running around on you with a nice single mom instead of staying with your witchy self? So you are jealous? You better stop hating on single mom’s because you are probably going to be one soon. However, I don’t think you are strong enough to be a single mother.

NO.NEVER why because you feel it, not all single mothers are unable to look after a child as well as not all 2 parent families are good…you can not generalise people like this, some people find them self single out of their control, a good friend of mine is a single mum as she was made a widow…now you tell me she should have her children adopted? they are her life!!

how dare you not all single mothers are bad i was a single mum for 7 and a half years and my child has grown to be a very respectful adult hes 18 now and above all i would not change the way he is for anything also there is another single woman i know her child is always in and out of hospital with lukemia and she does an absolutely fantastic job so before you judge people please bear in mind some of us single mothers are devoted to our children and it doesnt matter what user you have in mind you have no right to say single mothers are not good mothers if there child is sick if you are referring to someone in paticular then do it the proper way and say it about the certain user !!!!

Ya know adoption costs around $30,000 and many of them grow up being tossed around from family to family. And personally, coming from a person who unfortunately cannot conceive but cannot afford the adoption process either; i think that comment is just someone being lazy and not wanting to take responsibility for their baby. Life is hard, but we just have to pick it up and drive on. If the baby is sick then the mother, single or not, needs to do everything in her power to keep the baby as happy and healthy as physically possible no matter what the sacrifices may be. It’s just the hand that was dealt. And may God bless this mother.

I have someone I’d like you to meet…..Stripper Shoes, where are you?

no. if a child is sick, their mother should take care of them. not two strangers. its better for a child to grow up with a single, poor and young mother than an old, infertile, rich couple.

She shouldn’t be forced to put her baby up for adoption, but I think that if she truly is a responsible parent with her babies best interest at heart, she would go through with an adoption. It means a better future for the baby, and isn’t that what we all want?
