| ashlyn | Posted: Apr 13, 2006 12:20:21 AM it's normal. but if you want to give your child up for adoptin and you think it's the best choice, then by all means do it. try and open adoption-this way you will have visitation rights. much loves!!! ashlyn | ||
| MARY | Posted: Oct 14, 2003 11:14:29 PM BY ALL MEANS, YES IT'S NORMAL TO NOT HAVE A CLUE ON WHAT TO DO. THAT'S LIFE. THERE IS ALWAYS THINGS THAT WE CONSIDER A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE WE DECIDE ON WHAT WE WANT TO DO, GET, GIVE ETC... JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU MUST MAKE THAT DECISION, A DECISION THAT ONLY YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE WITH. WHICH EVER WAY YOU GO, I THINK YOU'LL KNOW DEEP DOWN WHETHER YOU WERE RIGHT OR NOT. AND I BET YOU'LL MAKE THE BEST ONE FOR YOU AND THE CHILD.AND I'M SURE IT'LL BE THE RIGHT ONE. GOOD LUCK. | ||
| Michelle | Posted: Oct 13, 2003 12:41:45 PM Beth, Yes it is perfectly normal to be confused and wonder what is right for you and your child. I placed my son for adoption and fortunately have never looked back and regretted my decision. I love my son more than anything in the world and I felt that for him it was the best decision. He is very happy now and has everything in life that I wish I could have provided for him. The feelings and emotions that you are going through are perfectly normal. It is very difficult and will change your life forever. I am a stronger person because of my decision. Ultimately what is comes down to is what you want for your child and if you can provide for that child financially, emotionally, and physically. You are the only one who can make that decision. I would suggest doing what you feel in your heart is righ tfor your situation and what is in the best interest of your child. Good luck and if you have anymore questions feel free to let me know. My story is also going to be on the website soon under the birth moms personal stories. Have a great day! | ||
