Adoption?

Do you think you would be able to take care of a child as a single parent in a town where you don't know anyone? Would adoption be an option?

  1. Adoption would never be an option for me. If I am having a child it is part of me and I couldnt give my child away. I would do whatever I could to support that baby, I would make new friends and try to find other women who have children the same age as my baby so they can be friends. I would do watever it takes to keep my child.

  2. I think that I would make it work. Not knowing anyone in town can be fixed, you meet people everyday. I understand that it would be difficult to make friends when you have to spend most of your time with your child and trying to make a good life for your family but I think that you can find the greatest of friends even when you're not looking for any. So I don't think that I would put my child up for adoption.

  3. It would be difficult, but it could happen. I could make friends, probably starting at a church or at work. But sometimes you just have to dig your heels in and start somewhere. It would be hard to raise a child by myself with nobody to share the joys of parenthood with. I would most likely would not consider adoption, its my child wheather or not the conditions are comfortable.

  4. I wouldnt put the child up for adoption. From experience the child wouldnt know who their biological mother was and they would spend their life wondering. And if they met you they would probably be furious that you gave them up. I remember when I first found out that me and my brother were adopted, I couldnt believe it. But it turns out that we are actually brother and sister, but we have different dads. I just dont understand why you wouldnt want to keep your child. I mean yes it might be hard but you had to go through the pain with them, and yes for some people that is the only way they can have kids.
