Is it selfish to consider adoption?

If you are thinking about adoption, know that adoption can be one of the most loving decisions you’ll make for your child. It takes a great deal of love and maturity to know that raising a child can be difficult and that love is not enough to provide what a child needs to thrive and grow. Even with the help of family and friends, parenting can be overwhelming for many men and women. Often, family and friends are there at the beginning, then when times get more difficult, you are on your own.

What ever your decision is, you are ultimately going to be the primary caregiver and the person that will need to take care of your child. This can be a sacrifice for many years to come.
