Don't abort, give your baby up for adoption.
I'm tired of hearing this. I'm also tired of hearing people say since I'm adopted I have to be for adoption and encourage adoption and not abortion.
When people say this it hurts me. It makes me feel as if kids are just an item to be thrown around and given away. Just give it up for adoption. I'm hurt by this. It makes it seem like adoptees are just toys given away it ignores everything else.
I'm hurt my birth mom gave me up. Mothers should want and fight for their kids but she didn't fight for me. She didn't want me. That hurts. The woman that gave birth to you doesn't want you. It seems like nobody thinks about what they're saying. Being adopted is very hard. I've been to counseling before because I cut myself and had depression. Everything is confusing for me. As I got older, I started understanding things more and more. I was confused about where I fit in and who I was. I still feel unwanted. Being adopted isn't something to joke about. It's not easy. Saying just put your baby up for adoption and don't abort is not only rude but it hurts adoptees like me. It means my birth mom didn't care about me enough to keep me. It means people don't understand adoption.
I see people say there are couples waiting to adopt. I think it's good because there are kids waiting to be adopted, like kids in foster care. I've connected with a few foster kids on here and some who were adopted from foster care. There are so many kids who need homes. If there are so many couples then they should adopt these kids because these kids need families to love them.
I'm an adoptee. My parents only adopted me because they're infertile and couldn't have kids. My mom had miscarriages. They did fertility treatments but that didn't work. So then they turned to adoption and my birth mom chose them to be my parents. I'm pro-life but I don't believe in the just give it up for adoption. My birth mom could've aborted me. I don't know if that was an option, but she chose to put me up for adoption. That was her choice. If adoption wasn't a choice then what? Just because I'm adopted that doesn't mean I have to support adoption. I do support adoption because I'm adopted and there are many kids who want to be adopted but I don't have to if you get what I'm saying. I also don't have to be pro-life and against abortion but I am because that's my own personal beliefs. I'm a Christian and I believe children in the womb are just as important as children outside the womb. God made each one of us unique and special. I wouldn't abort my pregnancy because that's a life. However, I don't care what others do. That's between themselves and God. It's not my choice. I can only worry about myself.
So please everyone stop saying just put your baby up for adoption. It's wrong to say. We need to show people love not hate.
