How do I decide if I want to keep my child or give him or her up for adoption?

If you feel like you could care and give you're child a good home, I think that should be taken into consideration when deciding weather or not to give your child up for adoption.

If you are entertaining these thoughts, there is a very good chance that you are poorly prepared financially, emotionally, or in some other way to handle the responsibilities of having a baby. Think not of what is best for you, but what is best for your child. If you have not been around babies and seen what they require, spend some time with mothers and their children. Observe. Ask questions. Evaluate. There is no black and white answer. There are pros and cons to both sides. I decided to keep my oldest son. I do not regret that, though, there are times I wonder if I made the right decision for him.

Make sure you are doing whats in the best interest for your child no matter how hard it may be. Think about everything from money, housing and support. Make sure you have family and friends support.

You should decide by thinking about the pros and cons of your child such as is my child in a safe area or do I have enough money to afford my child and etc

Well, first I would think about the possibility of life if you kept them. One of the number one tell tale signs you might want to consider giving them up for adoption is if you are in poverty, in an unsafe living situation, and if financial issues and safety are going to be a problem in the long run. Can you support the child and give it what it needs to thrive? If you cannot, I lightly suggest you to give them their best chance.

Decide first if you are able to provide and care for the child either on your own or with the support of your partner. Realize that this is a life time of responsibility and at the same time a blessing and and an opportunity to experience lots of happiness, joy, pain, disappointments and challenges.

If you feel you cant provide for your kid and want the child to have a great life and not go through struggle that will help you decide on what to do.

Think about how you will be able to provide for the child and how you will help it have a healthy and happy life.

This s a difficult question that has to do with many variables. Consider it only if you considered any other option or help available to you.

Take a look at your emotional and financial ability to raise a child. What resources do you have? What would the childs life be like if you raised them with where and who you are now? Most importantly, do you want to be caring for a child at this time? Because while parenthood is extremely rewarding, it is also physically, emotionally, and financially exhausting.
