Despite all the talk in recent years on television about Open Adoptions and being grateful to mothers for the beautiful gift of life– in reality not much has changed. Open Adoption agreements are completely unenforceable legally thanks to laws that were cleverly crafted by adoption attorneys. Parents that give up their children are still seen as irresponsible and the children are still viewed as “lucky that someone wanted them,” and treated as outcasts by adoptive parents that see themselves as being from a better gene pool than the child. The ultimate point here is that if you are considering giving up your child for adoption you should know that like abortion, adoption is not an easy remedy for the situation of an unplanned pregnancy. There is no easy remedy for that situation. Overwhelmingly most people that are able to care for their child and don’t end up regretting it forever–particularly 10 years later when they’ve matured and end up being more responsible than the people they gave the kid to. If you are an out of control drug addict, alcoholic, or mental patient and you feel that you cannot recover and be of service to the child, and or you are a danger to the child in any way– you should do the responsible thing and ask for help. That can include asking family, friends, and even going with an adoption. However, if you are really just looking for an easier way out be forwarned:
Just like with abortion many people have turned to adoption for an easy way out, and unfortunately: have found nothing about it easy, and have indeed regretted it for the rest of their lives. So have their children.
Generally no one on earth is more protective of a child than his biological parent. Realistically, we all know that the world is full of horrible people, it would be foolish to think that some of them don’t end up as adoptive parents. Think long and hard before you give up any and all ability to protect your own child from the horrors of the world.
We say this not to shame anyone, but because we wish this warning had been given to us.
Life with Adoption as told by those who lived it.. the Mothers of adoption loss speak out. Spanning over a 40 year period, we see that the more adoption has appeared to change the more it has stayed the same – still separating babies from capable, loving mothers.. and causing much destruction in it’s wake.

After an American mother sent her 7-year-old adopted son back to Russia, Moscow said it was suspending adoptions to US families. A high level delegation from the U.S. State Department is scheduled to meet with Russian officials in Moscow on April 29 and 30. The officials will talk about how to better protect children and all parties involved in International Adoptions. For the moment though, many American families who have applied to adopt a Russian child worry about whether their Adoption process will continue. VOA’s Elizabeth Lee has more details on the obstacles in U.S.-Russian Adoptions and what adoptive parents are saying about them.

NEW PARENTS PRAYER
1. Heavenly Father, I am overcome with gratitude to Thee.
For giving us this child who humbles me.
I hold his tiny hand in mine.
Thankful tears come to my eyes.
This blessing’s such a great responsibility.
As my weaknesses feel magnified, I ask for strength to do what’s right.
* Help me raise him with love. Teach him respect.
I’ll read Thy words of truth to him and pray Thou will protect
Him from all I fear. Fill him with hope.
Let me know when to support him and when to let go.
Help me raise him with love.
2. Heavenly Father, as our precious child is falling fast asleep, I sense your angels guard us lovingly.
Though I’m weary and so tired, I am strengthened by his smile.
Let me live my life to show my love to Thee.
As I learn to purify my heart, let me lead my child to where Thou art.
* Help me raise him with love. Teach him respect.
I’ll read Thy words of truth to him and pray Thou will protect
Him from all I fear. Fill him with hope.
Let me know when to support him and when to let go.
Help me raise him with love.
# Help us hold on when the storms rage all around us.
Help us be strong to bring our family back to Thy arms.
* Help me raise him with love. Teach him respect.
I’ll read Thy words of truth to him and pray Thou will protect
Him from all I fear. Fill him with hope.
Let me know when to support him and when to let go.
Help me raise him with love.
