Would you ever give your child up for adoption?

I would never be able to give my child up for adoption. I love my children dearly and even before I had children of my own I had always loved children. I just wouldn't have the heart to do it. I would always wonder what ever happened to them and I would be eaten up with guilt.

I don't think I can put up my child for adoption. I can't see any reason why I would have to. Even if I would have financial difficulties that it would be a challenge to provide for my child, I'd probably ask for help from government or private agencies or even family and friends or beg if I have to. I would do everything I can to provide for his physical, psychological and spiritual needs. The only reason that I can think of that would make me give up my child is if I am mentally unfit to take care of him. If being with me would cause harm on his psychological well-being, then I'd gladly have a nice, respectable couple adopt him. Otherwise, I'll keep him no matter how difficult it may be.

I would never give my child up for adoption. I really didn't want any children at all, but I got pregnant when I was 20 years old and the father of my child left me and said he did not wnt to be with me or my child. I chose to keep her and raise her by myself until I met my husband. I would have to be forced to give her up because it is just not something I would think about doing. She is a part of me. I would only give her up if I could no longer take care of her, but even then, I would still do the best I could, to try and keep her around.

I believe that in some cases, freeing your child to another life with another family can be the most brave, self-sacrificing, and noble option available. In some situations, it is what is truly best for the child. There may be situations in which I would do this, but I hope never to encounter them, as they all would involve a lot of pain. I have, however, seriously considering adopting instead of giving birth, and I have nothing but respect for people who make this very hard decision.
