Do you think people fail to recognize the difficulty of adoption?
I know abortion topics aren't allowed here and although this isn't really about abortion, it can be, so if it's against the rules, I'll delete it.
But I wanted to address how people view the option of placing a baby for adoption. When there's an unplanned pregnancy and it isn't necessarily a good surprise due to age, financial situation, or whatever, people seem to think adoption is this magical perfect solution. And while it certainly can be, especially for the couple getting to adopt, it's also very difficult both emotionally and legally sometimes. When people suggest it, they make it sound so nice and like its a no struggle option. At least that's how I see it. Yet when someone actually decides to go that route, you get "are you sure? How can you give up your baby?" And "I'd never be able to do that." I think it's really strange and I'd like to hear others thoughts on it. I think I pay extra attention to it because I didn't have any other choice but to place my baby up for adoption and it was really a negative experience for me all around. Being pregnant was really tough on me.
