Why Adoption is the Loving Option When people ask me whether I am pro life of pro choice, I say something to the effect of neither, I am pro adoption. When people think of adoption they will probable think, I can’t “give up” my baby/child. But really adoption is much more than that, in many cases you will not have to completely “give up” your child. Depending on the type on adoption you have been exposed to, you might be either for or against it.

In closed adoption the child will either have no contact with their birth family or might not even know he or she was adopted. I am definitely for any type of adoption, especially if the other choice in consideration is abortion. But if you asked me which type of adoption I would suggest open adoption in most cases, of course if the birth parents could not be trusted or are bad influences then I would suggest closed adoption. The reason that I think open adoption is a better option is because of my experience with it. When I was about 8 years old, my mother had her second miscarriage, the first was before I was born, and my entire family was devastated. I had wanted to have a little sibling so bad. After my mother’s third miscarriage, we decided to look into other options. After nights of discussion we chose adoption. A few months after the paperwork was done we were introduced to Ruthie, the birth mom who had chosen our family to adopt her unborn baby. When Kassie was born there was a great feeling of joy felt by all, including the birth mom, because in was not goodbye. Kassie is almost three and we still keep in touch with her birth mom. Kassie’s birth mom has got to go on with her life, thankfully it had not been filled with the sadness of an abortion. Kassie is able to visit
