I agree that being a birthparent is harder, but 79nic you must remember that you are not a single parent. That is much harder than being a married parent.

As a single parent...yes it is hard....but well worth any struggle that may occur! There is help out there! Being a birthparent is much harder and I wouldnt wish it on anyone.... If educating about how hard it is to be a parent...expecting parents should also be educated on how hard it is to be a birthparent....not just the sugar coat of what a wonderful thing they are doing, by giving someone else the chance to parent. It is hard. Much harder than trying to figure out how to pay a bill or something.....there is plenty of help for that.....but the loss of your child is always there...you can talk about it...and share with others...but there is no getting around it.
I am totally not anti-adoption...I just beleive that parents should be given all of the facts....not the candy that will sell them on the issue. They should be able to make a choice knowing what to expect.....
