I am posting this not to judge any of you, but to make sure you have ALL the information to make decisions about what to do.

I am not Pro Choice OR Pro Life. I am Pro Education. I believe that each woman may need to make a different decision depending on her situation. Not having all the information may lead the young parents to making the wrong choice. That's how babies end up in the morgue. But if you have all the information at your hand, you can chose right, reguardless if that choice is abortion, adoption, or raising the baby on your own.

I was reading through some of the posts and noticed again and again young ladies posting how they don't want their baby to grow up not knowing who their "real" mother is, when referring to adoption. That is incomplete education so I feel the need to clarify if anyone needs it.

Leaving the term "real" alone, I'll provide an overview of adoption as it is now.

There are 3 types of adoption.
1) Closed —that's what the above statement refers to, the child doesn't know even their birthparent's names or contact information. This used to be the standard "rule" for adoption, but is now only seen in rare cases.
2) Semi Open- that's where the adoptive family and birth family sends updates and pictures periodically (monthly or yearly are the most common) with minimal other contact. The child may have access to an email or address when they are old enough, to make face to face contact.
3) Open- this is the most common form of adoption now. Depending on how close the families live- the child may grow up with the birth parents there in their lives. (one birth mother said she felt like the wacky aunt who gets to spoil the kid with sugar and then send them back to mommy)

Adoption can also be the "cheapest" for you, if that is a factor. Some adoptive parents will pay for living expenses (rent, utilities, clothes, food, medical care, etc) even.

If you would like any more information about adoption, feel free to post over on the adoption forum. http://exchanges.webmd.com/adoption-support-group Even if you're just asking a question out of curiosity. I am probably the most active on the board and will NOT judge you or your choices.

Thank you, and I hope you each understand how blessed and lucky you are.View Thread
