This post is very touching, and adoption does affect ALL of the parties involved.
My view is it is such an emotional time for everyone, the adopted parents are elated for adding a child to thier family, and yet they are sad for the birthparents who courageously chose to give up thier child. I feel that adoption is a far better choice than abortion or just dumping the baby in the garbage.
It hurts those of us who cannot biologically have children when others judge such a gift. And yes, this is my opinion, but in our current situation,our birthparents are beginning to become a part of our extended family, as we are theirs. There is both happiness and sadness of all those involved. ↑ |
