Females and even males now a day are finding it easier to clear their path to their ideal future by eliminating an innocent child. They either abort or give him/her up for adoption.
Maybe the word "mother/father" scares some away but if you think about it, if you help make a baby, "mother/father" is what you'll be considered as for the rest of your life. And the reasons are always the same, one of three, it was an accident, the family does not accept premarital sex or they just aren't ready for a family. It seems to me like giving a child up for adoption as become "popular", its like giving your old TV to your neighbors in replace of a better one. These people give their kids up in place of a easy future.
I personally DISAGREE with giving a child for adoption. I understand the reasons and decision and also respect them. But there is always a way out, other then giving someone up that you cared for and probably even loved for nine whole months so easily. Anyone can get help, and make the impossible happen. I believe every women as well as men who are lucky enough to bring to this world one more being, shouldn't watch it on TV but enjoy it themselves. Think about the family they might end up with, it might be with the wrong one. They may seem like the perfect family your child needs but down the road you're not there to witness it. Think about what they have to explain in pain to their friends, when they ask them who their parents are. Think about how they're going to feel, with that thought in the back of their heads, of "what did I do wrong".
My question to you all is, "Should people give their child up for adoption because they're getting in the way or for any other reason" why or why not?

You give a good point Fatima, and good job. For me it would depend on when I had a baby. If I knew that somebody else could take care of my child better then I could, if adoption was a option, then i would. I don't think that people should just give their baby up for adoption because the baby would get in the way of something, if your going to school, get a family member to help you out, get a babysitter, and if they think they can't handle it, there are many government programs that help mothers who are struggling who have children, food stamps, government housing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dani, and yeah i agree with what you are saying, but what makes another family better then the one you could build your self?.
ReplyDeleteGood Job Fatima. It's a tough topic. Personally, If I made a decision that made me have to make the difficult decision of whether or not to put my unexpected baby up for adoption or keep him/her, I'd keep my baby. But I also have a loving family that would support me and help me raise them. But even with the love and assistance of my family, things would be tough. My family is doing fine, but certainly not wealthy. And raising a baby properly is a highly expensive reality. A reality in which many do not have. In some cases, it's simply an impossibility and it may be better for the baby to go to a family more suited (hopefully) to take care, and love them.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, I've heard of quite a few biological parents who are still apart of their child's lives, through various communication methods and visits, even if they live with an adopted family.
When I think about this I think about the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of families that will gladly adopt a child and raise them as their own.
ReplyDeleteFor mothers and fathers I think the decision is extremely hard and affects them all their lives whether or not they let people know. They always think about the child and wonder so I tend to think that that is a punishment for them.
However when you are a single parent who is an orphan themselves raising a child is going to be your entire life. Sometimes people just really can't do it and will give up their child. I can agree with this because if you can't give your child a good life, wouldn't you want him or her to have the opportunity to have a good life?
