Arkansas Adoption – You Are Not “Giving Up” By Choosing Adoption

arkansas.family.adoption.attorney.pro.lifeFrom talk shows to books and even to casual conversation among friends, the term “give up” has become synonymous with adoption.  The reality is that birth mothers do not “give up” anything when choosing adoption for their baby. Instead, they are choosing a life for their child – a life complete with all of the hugs, laughter and lullabies they desire for their children. By choosing adoption over abortion, birth mothers choose to do not what is easiest for themselves, but instead head down the difficult yet rewarding path to adoption out of nothing but pure love for their child.

Today’s adoptions are very different than those even one generation ago. Today’s birth mothers often see firsthand how their baby grows up though pictures, letters and in some cases, through visits and phone calls.

Finally, birth mothers not only choose adoption, but they also choose the life they imagine for their baby. From family pets and holiday traditions to values and education, a birth mother chooses a family for her baby that fits all of the hopes and dreams she has for her child.

Out of nothing more than pure love for her baby, a birth mother chooses adoption. And just as adoptive parents will cherish their new baby, they will also cherish the birth mother for not choosing to “give up” on her baby.

Rather than “giving up” their babies, birth mothers do quite the opposite: they place their babies into the arms of grateful, loving families that will spend their days appreciating the gift that a special woman gave them.
