i think this woman plain stupid

Is she blaming the baby for her inability to love?

HEH

stupid woman.

The feelings that should be there - aren't. Better this than try and pound a square peg in a round hole.
What she did is best for her and the baby.

This lady should be commended for doing possibly the hardest thing she would ever have to do, and making the right decision given the situation. She wasn't bonding with the baby. Someone else will. It's not fair to her or the baby to try to continue to force something that isn't there.

"not bonding" i think thats another way of saying....this ones' too ugly lets throw it back and get another one.

baby selling is big business. i know a number of ladies poppin them out to adoption centers for between $25k and $50 profit.

yeah i know we all say it's great for those wanting a child who cant have them and those poor raped mothers, and it beats an abortion.

but from my experiences...most of these buns in the oven were put there for the $dough.

It sounds as if Baby D. now has a loving family. But will they ever tell D. about this? What would that do to him? How do you convince a child that his birth mother AND first adoptive mother gave him up...for his own good?

I'm still going with Abortion would have been the best remedy here.

As a mom of six (2 are stepsons) I can't say I 'bonded' with my stepsons but when you make such a decision then have "buyer's remorse???" it affects so many lives. It's just so sad!

Abortion? This baby was found by the side of the road in some unnamed South American country.

The mother was undoubtedly poor. Probably very young, or very old with too many burdens already. No resources, no support system, no idea where to go or what to do. So she did the only thing she knew how to do...places this baby where someone might rescue him.

Can you even imagine her grief?

To say I'm disgusted is putting it mildly. He's a human, not a car ,and after 18 months I'm sure he was very bonded to her! What would she have done if it were one of her biological kids? She should be sterilized and forbidden to adopt again. And a stepchild is not the same as a child you say you want; a stepchild comes with the territory so to speak and it is much harder to bond with them.

Why is everyone judging this woman? She had the compassion to adopt. She took the steps necessary and followed thru. How many people say they want to and don't.

It has been stated that every parent on this planet has the ability to be a child abuser, it just takes that certain cry or pitch that can set you off. Wouldn't it be better if every mother or father who experience that give the child up for adoption instead of abusing it.

If you know that you are not bonding with a child wouldn't it be better to provide a better home for it so that it can experience the love every child needs.

If she couldn't love the baby then it's probably good she gave him back. As for me, I'm not sure I would volunteer for that sort of thing in the first place (especially if I already had 5 children) but if I did, there is no way my bleeding heart could ever give the child back. I'm afraid that the more difficult the child was, the more I would love him or her.

If she already had 5 bio daughters, she probably thought she was doing a good thing now adopting an abandoned baby. But enough is enough. With a mostly absent husband, I suspect she found herself now pushed past the max. Not her fault for trying, but given her circumstances, she was never a good candidate for this adoption to start with.

I could never do such a heartless and just plain cold thing to a child. A baby! That poor little thing has been through enough rejection. There is no excuse for her actions. Just like adults, babies need to be able to trust the person taking care of them. You would think that she knows better. She had five children. No excuse!
