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.
You won't always feel depressed and there are people to talk with you and help you through your feelings. I couldn't give up my baby. Nine months is a long time, and the actual birth experience will be a huge event, but remember that parenting a child includes an 18-year commitment. Imagine yourself in five years. Now think how raising a child might change that vision.
