If you are unexpectedly pregnant and considering adoption, you are making a tough, yet loving, choice to prioritize what is best for both you and your child. This decision is thoughtful, courageous, and full of love.
If there are people in your life who disagree and have negative things to say, it can make you second-guess a decision that was likely not easy to make.
Continue reading to help you reach a place of understanding with your family while being confident in your decision to create an adoption plan.
Understanding the Misconception
Your family may see adoption as “giving up” for a variety of reasons. Perhaps there are underlying cultural or religious beliefs, or a lack of understanding about what adoption truly entails.
It may come from a place of fear or love for you. Regardless, it doesn’t mean that you are giving up, no matter how strongly they believe it.
What Adoption Really Means
Adoption is not about giving up, abandoning a child, shirking your responsibility, or anything else your family negatively claims.
Adoption means thoughtfully considering all of your choices and deciding that adoption will provide your child with the most stable home full of love and opportunity.
Adoption is always an intentional and loving choice.
Finding the Right Support
While your loved ones most likely mean well, you should try to find the proper support from people who understand what adoption entails and will walk beside you.
Placing your child for adoption is your choice and yours alone. You deserve to feel heard and your choices respected.
