6 Months After Having Her Baby She Gave Him Up For Adoption And Now She’s Asking The Internet If She Made The Right Choice Since Her Baby Daddy’s Family Is Furious
A 21-year-old woman had her son back in April of this year. A few months later, she knew in her heart that she couldn’t give him what he really deserves in life.
“After 6 months of having him, I realized I did not have the maternal requirements to give him the love and attention he would need,” she explained.
She also was a single mom caring for her son, and her son’s father flat out refused to be a part of their son’s life.
She began looking into finding a family who would adopt and love her son.
In order for her to adopt her son, she needed to get the signature of her son’s father. She reached out to her son’s father about the paperwork, and he signed it without any issues.
A week after her son’s father signed the papers, her son was adopted to a family that was overjoyed to give him everything he needed.
Her son’s new family is able to provide for him financially, and they are able to shower him with attention and love too.
A few days ago, she was shocked to get a call from her baby daddy’s mom, who accused her of tossing “her grandchild” out like garbage.
The thing is, her ex’s mom never reached out to her at all or made it clear that she had any desire to strike up a relationship with her grandchild.

So, you can imagine how confused she was to get this kind of a call.
“I talked to my ex about it and found out his parents were actually homeless,” she said. “I’m in no way shaming them for being so, I just know that is no place for a 6-month-old baby.”
She was positive she made the right choice for her son adopting him out to the family that she picked for him, but now she’s left with doubt, especially since a lot of her own family members weighed in on this new information.
Her family was incredibly supportive of her, but after she told them about her ex’s mom, they’re saying she’s terrible for not trying to adopt her baby within her ex’s family.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“I think that’s a mature and very wise and hard decision you had to make on your own.”
“You knew that you didn’t have the maternal requirements and instead of blaming others or taking it out on the baby, you gave him a better life!”
“It takes a lot of courage and maturity to make the decision to put up a baby for adoption. You did a wonderful thing for your child.”
“Your ex’s family has no say in this. And with the grandparents being homeless, how could they even step in even if they wanted to.”
“Your ex wasn’t interested, and you didn’t know his parents. Your ex signed away his rights, and you made the best decision with the information you had.”
“Keeping the child in the family is an excuse that often leads to the child being put in an abusive or subpar situation, whether it’s because the primary parents lose custody or give the child up.”
“You made the very best decision you could and your son is now in a loving home. The father’s parents, despite a bloodline, are not entitled to custody.”
“Not having seen the baby is an issue they must take up with their son, who refused to have anything to do with parenting. That’s not on you.”
“Don’t ever let anyone tell you you did wrong by getting a child into the best care possible. I know deeply from experience that “blood family” very often has no positive correlation to quality care.”
“You did the right thing even though it just has been a difficult decision.”
