I am talking of when the baby grows up to a child 6,7,8,9,10...
Would you agree with the following?
  • Almost certainly it will show traits of the father.
  • IMHO it will make it harder for her to marry someone else and pursue a career.
  • if they are estranged like now, she will begin to think thoughts and also tell the child, "I wish you were dead" and "you are a burden/curse to me".

Actually, I think we were talking about two different subjects. I was talking about the boyfriend who is insisting she place (since she didn't abort). My point was, even if she chooses adoption and they stay together, I don't think he'll be able to forget she was with someone else. She may end up losing both her child and her boyfriend.

As to your points:
  • The child may well remind her of the father. That may or may not be a problem for her.
  • It will certainly make her career path more difficult and may well change it. I can guarantee that everything will be different anyway, whether she parents or places.
  • Just because your mother said that to you is no guarantee this woman will think or say that to her child. (IMHO, it makes it more likely that you might in the same situation, because we tend to parent as we were parented.)
You profess faith in Christ: remember that he said, "with God all things are possible."
