Your grief over losing your child can be painful, but the ability to grieve is a sign of mental health. Grief is not the same as mental instability. A child doesn't really need a father. Studies show that children benefit from having positive, nurturing parents who can provide both positive male and female role models. No one can love a child as much as the birthmother can.
Adoptive parents can love their child as fully and selflessly as biological parents.
Good parenting is a matter of unconditional love and acceptance, consistently nurturing and caring in a way that puts the needs of the child first. Adoptive parents love their children as much as if they had given birth to them. 1999-2000 Bethany Christian Services. All rights reserved .
