Would you put child for adoption.

Many young girls still have their chld, go to school, and take care of what needs to be taken care of. This is a decision that only the girl can make. It's her thoughts and feeling at stake here. I wouldn't want to tell her to give up her beloved child and then have her feel guilty or want the child back later. If she can deal with it it's her decision. A father is not needed i the echilds life. But a mother is. The childs mother knows whats best for her baby. As long as she has the help of her family then she could keep her child and finish school so she can get a good job to support herself and the child.

definetly adoption. unless she had a strong family network who would help her raise her child. i think that abortion should (almost) never be an option. there are very few cases, like rape, where i think abortion would be a choice.

Well if youwould ask me I wouldn't do that at all. That is part of you already. That flesh and blood of your daughter which is also yours. Why would I give that up and just lose the identity of the child. It was not her fault why she was here why would I give up her real identity.

I was in the same situation as this girl was and I would tell her to give up her child for adoption. I would tell her to find a good agency, and look for couples who are of the same ethnic group as she is, same coloring, etc. That would ensure that if in the future the child as an adult looks for her, she or he would not resent the adoptive parents who look so different from her birth mother and if that child never finds her birth mother, he or she will not so much different from her relatives. I think a lot of problems arise when the child seeings that her or she does not fit in.

I would not send my own child for adoption no matter what, i will do everything i can to survive and support her. It will be my greatest regret if i let her go and be adopted by someone else. Here in my country, even if it's a poor country, i see a lot of women do hard work for their loved ones and adoption is not their solution. I knew a lady friend who is a neighbor who has 8 kids and is not tired of feeding them all. She do hard work like laundry service and ironing clothes to meet both ends. I can say that it is a personal choice if you decide to let your own blood and flesh be adopted by someone else just to see if she/he will be in good hands with proper education and all. But i guess i cannot do it if it happens to me. My child is mine, and i will never give it away.

that's bad, i hate that bf though the question is hypothetical, but i love baby so much, i can't accept my baby to be raise by other one. come to this question, the best way is adoption.

In my opinion for me I wouldn't put the child for adoption nor to abort it. In this case even she is a 16 yrs girl if she decided to not abort her child guess she is ready the consequences to raise her child even she is a young lady. Its not about co'z she young and can't raise her child its a matter how she loved her child and want to be a good mother to her child even we really know that she was disappoint her parents. Its her decision on that, good luck to her.

Well, if I am in her situation maybe I will put my child for adoption. I just rather let my child hate me for the rest of my life and not being with me than killing him/her in hunger and able not to give him/her a good life for his/her future. Of course, if I will adopt my child I'll make sure that she/he will be in a right hand. I'll choose the person who will adopt my child so that I can see to it that she/he will have a good and happy life with her/his foster parents. However, if I can afford to take care of my child and my family will be there to help me then I won't adopt my child. Maybe, if I get pregnant as my age right now (22) then maybe I can take care of my own child even without the help of my boyfriend/ the father of my child since in my age I can already find a good job and I can handle with my life already.. I think this kind of situation is really not easy to decide because it also depends in your status and situations in life. A lot of sacrifices and you must really have faith in yourself in deciding things like this.

I know 16 is far too young to be a mother, but I have seen what putting your child up for adoption can do to a woman. In my opinion because abortion would be out of the question it would depend on the type of girl the mother to be is. If she is relatively mature and has a good support network I would advise she keep the baby. On the other hand if the girl in question was a troubled young woman with emotional problems or addictions etc... I would recommend she give the child up. If a young woman is to have a baby good support is paramount. When I say she should keep the baby I don't mean to make it sound easy or trivial, it's the one thing that will affect the rest of her life forever and not an easy decision by any means.

Although I could never personally give a child up for adoption, no matter what my circumstances were, I would have to say that this is a choice that is quite prersonal. At 16, most girls are not ready to be a mother, but, they can learn how to care for their baby properly. If she has parents that will help guide her, I would not advise adoption, because she may grow to regret her choice later on, or may go the other directon and become pregnant again knowing that sje coulf give that baby up too. I would never recommend abortion. I do nelieve that it is a woman's choice, but I also believe that the baby didn't ask to be conceived and doesn't deserve to miss on out life. I know that there are many oppossing arguments to that, but, that is my opinion. If she absolutely has no means of talking care of that baby after checking out absolutely every avenue of help possible, then, and only then would I think that adoption is the right choice.

I would not have an abortion now or ever...not even if my life is in danger. However, if i could provide a good home life and stable finances for my child then i would keep it. If not i would give it up for adoption. I know my Aunt wanted children so badly all her life and she could not have but one and she still wanted another. I know there are many people in the world who would love a child and i would find a good home for the baby.

If she has no means to support a child, then I would say to give it up for adoption. But, that sixteen - year - old girl is the only one who can make the right decision. If I was her, then I would take care of the baby, even if it is by myself. I would not want my baby to be taken care of strangers because I would constantly be worried about how my child is doing. I would want my child to know that I am willing to be a good mother to him/her, even if he/she grows up without a father.

yes, put that child in adoption right away, if you cant go on with your life then go put it in adoption! a child raised in a different side might be unknown by his parents.. its quite hard to grow up without mom or dad..

I would consider abortion out of the question i believe it is a terrible practice that should not even be allowed. If she has no means of support than adoption seems the only logical choise

I am a full grown woman I would not put my child up for adoption but in that girl's case it may very well be the best thing for her and the baby at this point in her life.

I would suggest that the sixteen year old considers having her baby adopted. It would be the sort of adoption that is open. I would like her to be able to choose the adoptive parents she thinks are most suitable. It would be great if she received a yearly progress report about the baby. I would tell her that it would be possible for her to keep her baby. She could give help in the way of second hand baby equipment and get a home through the Housing Association. I would offer to help her until she is mature enough to manage on her own. She could get Housing Benefit and Child Tax Credit to live on. I would encourage her to go to an evening class once a week to gain qualifications. I would not agree with an abortion. Her baby would be an innocent one that would want to live, be cared for and loved.

i would advise to abort or adopt.. i think some teens feel that they have to keep the kid sometimes (most of the time they feel they have to give it up but i have known some people that really forced their kids to keep them etc) i dont think its right to make them keep the baby because your punishing everyone (especially the kid) if she chose abortion then at least she woudlnt have to deal with the whole pregnancy which i would think would be better than having to deal with the stigma of being pregnant so young.. but i guess if i wasnt pro-choice i would think totally different..

the teenagers should know how to prevent of not getting pregnant before opening their legs if they are not ready for having a kid.i dont have choices of thisits realy sad that kid is growing in a different people.

My advice would b adoption for two reasons. Forst I don't believe in abortion and second I have an adopted son that I just adopted a few months ago. There are a lot of people out there that would provide a good home and family for a child. With that being said I also believe that if the 16 yr old chooses to raise the child on her own it if fully possible for her to do so. That's not saying it would be easy but definately possible. It just depends on how serious she is about taking on the task and how much support she has.
