What works for you may not for your neighbor.

As I am sitting here watching 16 & Pregnant on MTV, they are showing a girl who decided to give her baby up for adoption. Her aunt and uncle adopted the baby, and then she thought it was the wrong thing and went to get her baby back. I really hate watching the episodes where these girls are having to go through this pain of giving their babies up. It has to be one of  the hardest thing that a woman can go through. The pain, the emotion, the tears. All that is so personal, and they have millions of people watching them, and some of those people are talking bad about them after watching the show. These shows make me feel so much for these young mothers. I've been there once, I was only 18 when Mycah was born, I was single, and I did it alone. It was hard, but I don't think know that I couldn't have given him up. I'm glad I didn't. He is what makes me want to be a better person. Him and his brother, are my everything. Now, don't get me wrong. Adoption is the right choice for some people, but not me. There are so many people who can't have babies, and then there are people who shouldn't have babies. It's not my place to decide if someone should or should not have kids, but if you are addicted to drugs, or an abusive person or in a abusive relationship, do you want to bring a baby into that? Only you can make a decision on adoption and that's what needs to work for you. I am Pro-Choice, which does not mean I am Pro-Abortion. I am all for giving women a choice, after all it is our bodies and we have to live with the choices we make. What works for you may not work for your neighbor, or even your own sister. If you have to decide, don't do it quickly. It's going to take time, it's going to hurt, and it's going to take you being strong. Decide for the child, not for you, decide for what is going to be the best for them, not you. Decide because you  love them and want what's best for them.
