Some stereotypes are more difficult to overcome than others. One of the most persistent stereotypes is that women who relinquish custody of their children are bad moms. Every day, Rebekah Spicuglia deals with that notion. She attempted to avoid even bringing up the subject after she handed up custody of her son to his father for several years. However, as more women make the socially unorthodox decision to relinquish primary custody of their children, Spicuglia has discovered that people are progressively realizing that sometimes the best thing a mother can do for her child is to let go. Adoption is a lovely and loving choice, and the reasons why each birth mother chooses to place her child are varied and particular to each parent and situation. You are not the only one who has made this decision. Many individuals think about placing a child for adoption. According to a recent YouGov poll, one-quarter of Americans have an adopted friend or family member.
Trust that whatever reason(s) you are considering adoption, your instincts are coming from a loving place, and that no one else but you needs to “approve” your decision. Whatever you choose for your baby’s future is the greatest choice; you are a wonderful mother for wanting to give your child the finest life imaginable.
