Sjoe thank you to all the replies to my original post.
I must say that I have received encouraging and then not so flattering comments.
The main reason for the post was to sensitise those wanting to give their children up for adoption about the hurt and confusion that is caused if you cannot make up your mind.
While I do understand that it is an extremely difficult decision to make, I have to in the same breath say that you must be very brave and must love your child dearly to take such a step.
My intention was not to envoke nasty comments or to criticise anybody on their choices.
I have taken the necessary steps with Child Welfare in Cape Town and must say that they are brilliant. You cannot do this on your own and there are many steps to follow before you as an adoptive parent take the step to adopt.
Good luck to those wanting to adopt. Good luck to those who are preparing to give their precious gifts for adoption - you are extremely unselfish and my Prayer is that God will grant you the wisdom to choose wisely for your child(ren).
