you gave your child away? I could never do that

Boy, that sure is loaded. While I am sure any number of you placed for various reasons, I do often wonder when I hear that statement, how fit to parent the speaker truly is. I mean, if they aren't willing to do anything for their children, including place them for adoption when they feel they can't (or do not want) to parent, then honestly, are we sure they're making the right decisions for their child at all?
There are several things I could never do, but putting the needs of my child above my own is certainly not one of them. I would do anything for my children, up to and including place them for adoption, if that were truly what was in their best interest...
Please, don't mistake my comments as typical 'brave birth mother' blabber that you so often hear as part of the propaganda machine.
