Give The Gift Of An Adoptive Family
Some women have difficulty seeing offering their child to an adoptive family as "the right thing to do." However, there are multiple benefits to giving your child up for adoption. Women who offer their children up for adoption through an agency like Hope's Promise are committing a great act of love and respect for their child. Here's how.
A Gift to Your Child
Most parents in the world want whatever is best for their child. The painful part of fulfilling this parenting responsibility can be acknowledging that "whatever's best" may not include being raised by you. Sometimes mothers considering adoption just don't think they're mature enough to raise a child—especially if they're going to end up raising the child all by themselves.
Other mothers are married and have children already, but believe that having another child would be unfair because resources in the household (attention, money, space, etc.) would be spread too thinly among the people already living in the household. Regardless of the reason, a mother considering adoption for their child is simply showing that they care about their child because they want to give them the healthiest, happiest, most comfortable life possible—even if they means a life outside of the mother's home.
A Gift to the Less Fortunate
For families who have the desire to have children but have biological problems with fertility, the ability to adopt a child often proves the only viable option left to them. When you offer your child to someone in need, you are bringing a new level of joy and satisfaction to their lives by helping them fulfill a dream that many people take for granted. As an added bonus, because infertile couples know the pain of not being able to have children, they have a deeper appreciation for fact that they now have a child. This means that the adoptive parents may have an even higher level of patience and attention to give than someone who has had multiple biological children of their own
A Gift to You
There is no greater peace in the world than that of a mother knowing that her child is healthy, safe, and loved. Trying to provide for a child that you don't have the resources to care for could cause undue stress and hardship for you and your child. Offering your child to adoptive parents means peace of mind, knowing your child will grow up healthy and happy, without you having to take an undue amount of resources away from your existing children or yourself.
