Is adoption the best way?
|
I'm just wondering. I'm not having a kid or anything. I'm just wanting to know is adopotion the best way if your having a child and your not totaly sure. etc.
I know there are other options like raising the child yourself or passing the child onto a family member who can look after it.

I am pregnant right now. It's not the best situation only because I'm only 18 and the father isn't clear on his stance with teh child, but I love my child. I don't think I could bare to EVER give it to someone else to raise. I'm confident that I am the only one that could give my child the type of home I want it to have. I work two jobs, one with benefits. I'm in college and I know I'm immature at times, but so are grown people. I think that their are only certain situations that this is okay and even then, I odn't think that's it's just okay to pass the child someone else; I think once you are pregnant you have responsiblities that should not be easy to give up. I think it should be halfsies if anything. not nothing. |

as a person who has lived with being separated from her first mother, ANYTHING is better than adoption. |

If someone is unsure, she should wait until the baby is born to make a decision. If carrying the baby for nine months isn't something that appeals to her, abortion is an option. |

Placing your child for adoption is not the best way unless you are absolutely sure you do not want to parent, or cannot safely parent the child even with access to the extensive social services available in North America. Even then, it will probably be hard and painful.
If you are unsure, it would be better NOT to choose adoption, since adoption is a one-time decision that lasts forever. If you try to parent and truly can't handle it, you can place for adoption later. If you place for adoption and regret your decision, there's usually nothing that can be done.
The loss of the biological family is a big one, and shouldn't happen if it can be avoided. If the family can stay together safely, they should. Adoption should be the last resort for children who are in unsafe situations, or whose parents are unwilling to care for them. It should not be the default for any potentially poorly-timed pregnancy. |

Every situation is different. In general, however, raising one's child themself with a huge support group and much help is "the best way," to answer your question.
God bless you! |

Depending on the situation. But I think that if you spend that whole 9 months with the baby in your stomach and go through labor and all, you might find yourself learning to love the baby already. If you completely don't want the baby you surely can put it in adoption, but I think you'll love it once you spend that time with it :) |

well sometimes adoption may cause problems with the child because they cant understand why they are not with they're real family. But because kids are adopted, they are taken into clean nice homes. We hope anyways. so yes, in my opinion adoption seems reasonable. |

well,
my younger sister was adopted and i think it is fantastic.
adopting or giving to a needing loving family is always a good choice.
if you can live your life, you should let them have theres. |

hey there!
So you wanna know if adoption is the best way.
Let me put it this way, And this is only my opinion.
Having your own child gives you an addition to your life because its apart of you.
Now adopting makes no difference just because this child is not yours, gives no reason that that child will not love you because he or she is adopted, Your the parent they love and that gives them a warm loving home, i also look at it as your giving this young child a home, a parent a life, a future, i mean can their life get any worse?
God bless, I'm adopting in the future |

If you're unprepared for a child, abortion or adoption are probably the best options. |
