Please consider that when you are deciding whether or not to parent your child. I am not trying to say this to hurt you but you did say to tell you all aspects and you keep saying "she is so cute". Children are a lifetime commitment they are not like playing with dolls where you can put them away when you get tired of dealing with them. Seek a counselor to help you decide what is best for you and your baby. You need to sit down with someone who is NOT involved and weigh ALL the pros and cons of parenting and adoption and then make your decision.

If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me or pm me here.

God bless you,

I find your post incredibly condescending. Nowhere did the OP say her baby was "so cute". She did say she was beautiful.. like a million mothers before her. I agree with her that you often do not know how you will feel about parenting until after the baby is born. I also agree with the others that financial concerns should not be the reason to place.

Noddy05, while parenting is a lifetime committment, so is adoption. You will never be able to go back to life as you knew it no matter what you decide. The real question is do you believe that you have what a child needs. I would also ask you to think about your life with her and your life without her. Which feels right to you?
