The woman you counsel might believe that if she places her child for adoption she will never see her child again or have any ongoing information about her child. Respond knowledgeably to initial reactions to adoption. Being responsible sometimes means taking a look at what is best for the baby and what is best for you. Sometimes the responsible thing is to make arrangements for someone else to take care of the child. I know that you love your baby very much and already have a lot of feelings for your child.
Adoption is difficult, but so is parenting.
Choosing adoption means that you do care enough to think about the future and what is best for your child. I couldn't handle it. Placing your child for adoption isn't easy. You'll have to deal with a major loss. Women do survive adoption and come through feeling whole.
