The only people who have any rights to the child are the birth parents and therefore if a birth mother and birth father want to choose adoption than that is their choice. I understand that sometimes grandparents want to get involved and even possibly raise the child but it is important to remember that the birth parents are going to be the ones who are responsible for this child for the rest of their life and if this is something that is not possible at that time than choosing adoption can allow that child to have the two parent stable family that they deserve. I am a birth mother and chose adoption for my son because I knew it was in his best interest. I truly believe that only a birth mother and birth father know what is best for their child based on what they feel they are or are not capable of providing to their child.
