>>would you or people like you “shame” me into giving up my child, husband or no husband. <<
Hmmm, that’s pretty self centered. Don’t you want the best for your child?
I sat in that position. Where it was giving up my baby to a great couple or keeping her for poverty.
I took the high road. You think of it as shame. I think of it as love. And let me tell you something else. I have a cousin that was given up by my aunt for the same reason. When they got back together, my cousin was SO proud of her biological mother.
So really, it’s not all about the mom, is it?
You made a tough choice that gave your baby and yourself a much better chance at a great life. Your CHOICE is the only kind of Pro-choice I'm in favor of.
What does that have to do with this situation? This baby will not live “in poverty”. Taxpayers won’t pay for this child. This child will be loved and nurtured, and will no doubt have a loving father in due time. It just really is none of your business.
I think I am really not getting a good impression of you.
You are kind of scary...in an eerie sort of way.
Is that your obsession or just a deep need, wanting other people’s kids. Seriously, hopefully I am just misinterpreting your comments.
I wish you wouldn’t try to justify taking away a single parent’s kids...because they are “single”. It is giving me the creeps...
Bravo to you.
It is an act of true
love for the child.
The choice you present is between maternal love and poverty, and putting the child up for adoption where the infant can have a more traditional family upbringing, and the security that comes with it.
Now, I've seen you keep posting that Bristol should give her child for adoption because she is a teenager. The most important thing to a child is the love of a mother and that is even more important than the love of a father. Ideally, there is both a mother and father, and ideally they should be able to financially provide for the child. Life isn't always ideal, though - that doesn't make it a failure. Poverty is bad, true, but many people grow up in poverty to lead happy and successful lives. Just the same, having money and resources is no guarantee of happiness or success.
In Bristol's case, she is a young adult and poverty isn't a factor. She loves her child and the child's grandparents love him dearly. The aunts and uncles love him as well.
I see your posts as primarily being concerned with appearances. The “complete family” picture. The mother, the father, and the child. You don't seem concerned about Bristol's love for her child. Not one of your posts mentions that, but you are totally concerned with the appearance of a “normal family” and about not being poor because that's best for the child.
Reading your posts I realized that you care nothing about Bristol or her family. Those attacking Bristol for having her child and keeping him don't give a rat's ass about her or her family. You seem more concerned about yourself, how this makes you feel, and how this will stain the Republican party. This is about selfishness, because you and people like you can't deal with these kinds of “mistakes” (as you call it) because it embarrasses you. Who cares about the Palins, right? But just give the baby away to a COUPLE, a nice couple, and that looks good for conservatives. It shows that they don't make mistakes and when they do, they get rid of their mistakes. By giving the child up for adoption, no one can criticize Bristol and the Palins, so it's less of a stain on the Republican party.
This is not about Bristol, but about personal selfish concerns.

So you gave your baby up for adoption and now regret that? Or now think that adoption is such a selfless choice and anyone teen should give up their baby?
Apparently it is all about the “mom” since you gave up your baby, your choice and the best choice for you and your baby, so now it’s the best choice for any unmarried parent? And now you’re trying to adopt, and that’s been a rough road since there’s not that many babies to adopt now a days, and you have a couple kids too.
Hmm that’s pretty self centered, don’t you think?
