This is Jessica. She's a birth mother who placed her son for adoption not too long ago. Want to learn more about her story? Read this. Also watch her answer this adoption question:

"Why would I give my baby away?"

The last thing you are doing is giving your baby away - you are giving your baby a future, a hope and showing such sacrificial love for him/her. Some reasons why people choose adoption - maybe you want your child to have a mother and father, or you don't feel ready to parent, or maybe you know you aren't able to provide the best for him/her right now. Making an adoption plan for your baby is something a birth mother and father do out of love and a desire for a great future for their child. Adoption is purely giving - not giving away or up.
