hi i am christina mother of a 3 yr old 4 months ago i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy buy with the funds we didn't have the money to raise him so we placed him up for adoption to a cousin of mine who couldn't have kids it was the hardest decision i have ever made

Wow, that does sound like a hard decision. I know what it's like to give up your kids. My ex took mine about 4 years ago, but I didn't give them up willingly. I'm sure you made the best decision for everyone though. Try to keep in touch with him. It's so much harder through the years if you don't keep in touch.

Hi,

I know it was a tough one. Been there, done that. Is it an open adoption? Are you feeling guilty? Why don't you post what you feel and maybe we can help. Please know- you are not a bad mom or anything like that. It takes a lot of courage to do this.

hugs,

Becky

I personally have not given any of my children up for adoption, however with my middle child i considered it. I was a single mother, with a 2 year old, wound up pregnant, and the baby daddy was not in the picture at the time. I was an emotional basket case. I thought about hurting myself, to hurt the unborn child, thought of adoption. In the end, i kept the child, due to having a new boyfriend during my pregnancy. He helped me clear my head & i can not thank him enough for what he has given to me. He has given me, the oppertunity to love my child unconditionally, regardless if the odds were against me. I am sorry to hear about you having to give your child up, i pray that through time, your heart heals from what you have had to be thru.
