Of course that is true. But speaking generally, which is all we can do since none of us know the family, teen marriages do not work out well. Add the stress of lost dreams (ie, hockey career), the public eye and a child, that does not sound like an ideal situation.
But I could introduce you to dozens of couples today that had strong, stable marriages who are longing for a child or for another child to complete their family.
How in the world is it a bad thing to chose to adopt out your baby?!
I know wonderful families that have adopted!!!! One of my friends from my old job, he and his wife have become foster parents to a number of special needs kids, and they have adopted a few of them. I have a lot of respect for them. They had natural children, but started being foster parents when their own children were grown. The mom homeschools the special needs kids.
It takes a lot of effort and commitment to adopt a child, so I think they are better prepared than most couples that have a natural pregnancy.
It’s really hard to give up a baby for adoption, but it is such a really non-selfish thing to do. I’ve told my daughters that if they ever got pregnant before they were married, then I would encourage them to put the baby up for adoption.
