What are some of the reasons you placed? For starters, I was seventeen and in high school. I lacked preparation, maturity, and resources. While I had no doubt in my ability to be a good parent given the circumstances, I didn’t want my daughter to spend her childhood waiting for me to get my life together. I was planning to parent for the majority of my pregnancy because I felt the need to prove myself and because I knew adoption would be incredibly painful. But I had a humbling epiphany that this wasn’t about me. When I seriously weighed cost and benefit, adoption was
undeniably best for my child.
