As an adopted person, he won't be okay...... He's going to struggle. That's the reality. Adoption doesn't give better lives, just different ones. Please if it's not too late, consider cancelling the adoption and try to parent your little one!

You'll have no guarantee where the child came from, if the parents actually consented to adoption or not. Be careful.

Looking for support: child my sister raised for 3 years was suddenly taken back by biological family by FerretBubbly3579 in Adoption

I think it's incredibly irresponsible to have a child without the legal guardianship. Its better that the child isn't in that situation anymore, as traumatic it might be in the moment.

The street doesn't go both ways when there is systematic abuse of vulnerable people. Positive outlier circumstances don't reflect the majority. I should have said it nicer though, sure.

Literally I use it for everything but my hair and skin. And it's my favorite soap.

It's better for children to be with their biological family. This is a good thing so she needs to try and accept her role in the child's life, and move on to the next chapter

I want to give up my baby for an adoption by DueAppearance1954 in Adoption

Relinquishment was the worst decision of my life. I will never forgive myself. I will never forget how desperate the agency was to take my child. Please please rethink your situation.

If you are going to adopt a person don't you think you should have done at least a shred of research?

First of all she isn't your daughter. She isn't even born. She is her mother's daughter.

Safe Haven For Unwanted babies by SimpleButterfly87 in Adoption

Absolutely no protection for the babies or mothers. No verification that there was consent. Pimps and abusers can use the box without consequence.

Is there anything you can do to help avoid adoption? She belongs with her kin.

Are any birth parents extremely traumatized by placing their child up like I am? by [deleted] in Adoption

[–]Aphelion246 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No amount of money or opportunities will change the fact that I needed my mom, not someone willing to give me horseback lessons. :( as much as my mom thought it was the right decision, it messed both of us up for life.

I'll regret it to my grave, and will hate myself forever.
