My heart is with you. At 18 and pregnant and wanting to grow up before becoming a mother, I begged my parents to let me give my first child up.

Not a chance! THEY wanted a baby.

It was unfair to her what happened and she is still a mess to this day.

I think it's a brave and noble thing to do and should not be called "giving your baby up".

More like giving your baby a "chance".
