What is better for the child?

Tweet

This is a subject that I find alot of people have very different views on. Do you think that it is better for a parent who cannot/or does not want to take care of a child to stay with their family or that it would be better for them to leave? I think that it would be in the best interest of the child if the parent is not involved. Would you really want to raised by someone who did not want to be there, or that for what ever reason was not fit take care of you? I know alot of people say, well if you didn't want to have a kid you should not have gotten pregnant in the first place, but there are situations where people don't realize that they are not fit to be parents, and realize that after the child is already here. Sometimes even if the parents leave for selfish situations, the child is better off with a family or the parent who is going to love them unconditionally, with no regrets, and will do what they can to make sure the child is provided for and happy. Im not saying that in all cases it is right for a parent to abandon a child (my sisters and I were abandoned by my mother when we were very young, and I know now that we were better off not being raised by her), but that sometimes it is better for the child not to be raised by someone who is unstable or who does not want them! What do you think?
