We had her and her Grandma and Mom over last night and it gave me a glimpse into this warped world that this baby will have to come into if it's not put into an adoptive home.
I cringe just thinking about it.
We told her of how serious a baby is.
She spoke of how stressed she is that she has to work 20 hours a week.
We told her of the financial responsibility that a family it.
She spoke of how "his parents won't let him marry me".
We tried to explain to her that if she decides to keep the child that she couldn't be anything less than the best.
She talked about how awful it was that "he only got 7 hours of sleep last night".
We told her that parenting isn't for weaklings and cowards if you want the best for your child.
She told us of how she and her boyfriend "talk to stuffed animals" when they are missing each other.
Something that is this inconceivable, should not be happening.
I can already see her future and I want to scream.
She has no idea what is about to happen.
She has no comprehension of how serious this REALLY is.
She has no idea of how giving this baby up for adoption would be the BEST reality it would ever have.
Excuse me while I faint.

This one made my heart ache...
I just want to say that adoption is not all we would like to think it is. There is loss, grieving, and rejection. There is a hole in the heart of those involved, no matter how wonderful the situation. Her life changed the second her child was conceived, the second God created this child in her womb. And I believe God did create this child in her womb. No, I don't know all the details, but I would be hesitant to suggest this without really examining all the pain it can cause. I guess it gets down to how we determine what is a "better life" for the child and how we weigh that with the losses. I hope I don't offend, I mean to offer a gentle nudge to see another perspective.
