I Don’t Know if I Can Live With Myself if I Put My Baby Up For Adoption
Recently, at Adoption Attorneys Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C. (“Kirsh & Kirsh”), an expectant mother completed our contact form requesting information about adoption. In the comment section, she stated that she did not know if she could live with herself if she gave her baby up for adoption, or more appropriately, or as adoption professionals would say, made an adoption plan for her baby. She expressed a concern we expect many, if not all, birth mothers have. However, the question applies equally to the following two options a woman with an unplanned pregnancy, unintended pregnancy, untimely pregnancy has:
- Will I be able to live with myself if I abort my unborn baby?
- Will I be able to live with myself if I decide to parent my child and cannot provide for my child in the way I thinkhe or she deserves?
Many decisions we face in life do not have an easy or even good solution. Sometimes, we must choose the least bad alternative. That may very well be how a birth mother who does not feel prepared for the fact that she is pregnant will have to reach a decision. However, and we cannot emphasize this point strongly enough, she should not put off her decision hoping her dilemma will disappear. It will not.

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER: Please understand that these blog posts are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans. Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms that come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for expectant moms is “how do I give up my baby for adoption”. If we do not include those words in our blog posts, and instead put “how do I create an adoption plan for my baby” then our website will not show up in most expectant mom’s search results in Google.
