If you are considering giving your child up for adoption, be sure to get counseling. It is a decision that will affect you the rest of your life. Just keep in mind though, if you do give up your child you will be creating a miracle for couples who are unable to have children. Yes, my teenage girls drive me crazy sometimes, but hey, that's normal for teens, and normal for any healthy family. Adoption is a miracle, but it is a very serious decision to make. If you do decide on adoption, be firm about your decision. It rips apart the hearts of potential adoptive parents when a birthparent changes their minds.Good luck to all, adoptive and birth parents.
