Most parents that give up babies very much want their children. They fall into the adoption nightmare for whatever life reason, and most are sorry they ever heard of adoption. |
|

IDK!!
|
I think even most parents who lost their kids to foster care....truly want their children. |

No, that's absurd. |

No, of course not. i think most truly do want their babies. But for one reason or another, give their children up. I don't think we'll ever really know why, in most cases, why the children were surrendered. |

Nope.
I think that's a lame stereotype that the industry would want people to believe.
Most people want their kids but are told they are too young or too poor for their children or their kids deserve two parents rather than them.They are told adoptive parents can provide more for their child than they can and that they are selfish to want to keep their children from "having a better life". |

I believe most parents want their children. My daughter is from China and I have no doubt that if her native country's culture, politics, laws and traditions had been different, then her family would have kept her. Unfortunately that is not a reality in communist China. |

Dear Sunny,
No, I do not believe that at all. |

I believe MOST mothers want their children. I also believe infant adoption is often the result of timing.
I'm fairly certain it's the reason I'm an AP. I know her mom loves her, I know she wanted her. I also know she didn't expect to be pregnant again at 17 when she was struggling to raise her first born. |

No I do not believe that at all.
I honestly believe most give their baby up because they are made to think it is best for the baby. They think they are doing the "right" thing.
Sadly they do not find out till later the "right" thing to do would of been to keep their baby. |

Absolutely not i think they would want their children. i was adopted and my story is long so im not going to put it up and its personal. but of course they would want to keep the baby can some people cant do it financially or there too old there are many reasons why people put kids up for adoption it doesn't mean they don't want their children. Watch the loacator on WE tv its a good show about people finding lost love ones and the on the adoptive ones the parents regret giving up their child some times. i don't know if this is what you were looking for but i hope i helped:D |

No, I do not believe that at all. I think in some cases, biological parents are put into a difficult situation (and sometimes coercive situation) that leads them to make an adoption plan for their child, but that doesn't mean that they don't love the child or that they want to "give them away". However, from my personal experience, there are some times when the biological family does not want a child for whatever reason. I would say that isn't the majority, but it does still occur, sadly. |

yes. Caylee anthony didn't want her little girl. she wanted to go out and party all the time instead. but i think she should have adopted her out and not just give her to her mom. |

No, I think very few who give up their children do not want them. I think most are being unselfish and giving up the child because they realize they cannot give him/her the life they deserve. Whether its because they're young, unmarried or under financial stress. Its a difficult decision but one that should be respected...it takes a strong person to do the right thing for a child, even when its as painful as giving them up. |

No I don't. I believe that the parents love their child, but know at that point in time, the child would not be raised in a healthy environment. |

Not for second. I am not naive enough to believe that it NEVER happens, but it is exceedingly rare. I would bet that you are more likely to spontaneously combust that for that to happen, especially now that women can choose to have an abortion |

I have no idea about international adoption.
But, domestic adoption actually I do believe WANT is a very strong word... I would never think I could actually KNOW what another person really thinks or feels.
I believe there is a difference between Wanting a Baby and Wanting to Parent. And, don't think it has much to do with Not Wanting the Child as much as not wanting to parent...
and, yes--I do believe that the majority of parents who "give up babies for adoption" wanted the baby--just didn't Want to parent.

I think that most parents putting their children up for adoption just realize that they cant care for them properly. Take my best friend for example, she was born to a young mother. The mother probably didnt have the financial means or the support of her parents in keeping the baby, she knew that my friend would have a better life in another home, and so she gave it to her. |

From what I believe a child that is given up for adoption is usually a single mother - I do not believe she doesn't want the child - most of these girls are babies themselves.
Here where I live (Saskatoon) there are mothers out there as young as 12 yrs. Most of them live off the system.
If a young mother gives her child up it is for the childs own well being. I know of young girls that have gone through it and have no regrets because they know the child is in good hands and being taken care of in a loving, caring environment.
It is unfortunate in this day and age with all the info out there on "being careful" - education in the schools and at home.
I have a sis that has an adopted son and she loves him like her own - he is her own. |

I believe that they are unselfish and realize that they can't take care of their children and want to give them a better life. I believe that they do want their children but that they know that they can't give them the life that they deserve. |

That's rarely the case. I think from what I've seen, it's more of an act of frustration of not knowing what to do, and of love believing that an adoptive family can give more than they can. |

I don't believe that those parents Don't want their babies. I think they give their babies because they cannot provide a good life for them. For example, I would not want to raise a baby if I could not provide for myself, and surely not for them. |

Quite the contrary. Some of the most selfless people in the world are those that make an adoption plan for their child. Despite wanting their children just as much as any other parent, they put their own desires aside and do what they feel is in the best interest of their child. For whatever reason they decide to make an adoption plan - I'm not going to try to generalize it into two or three reasons because they are as individual as the people involved - these women make, and live with, probably the most difficult choice any human being could ever make. |

I think *some* parents who place their children through adoption just don't want to PARENT their children. To me that is a good decision. I'd wouldn't want to be the child who lives with a parent who didn't want them. |

Timing is everything. If you can't afford a child both financially and emotionally, give it up for adoption. It's not an easy choice but it is a courageous and unselfish one that should be lauded. |

Giving your child up for adoption is one of the most selfless acts you can possibly do. I admire those that make the decision to do so. |
