It takes a strong person to admit that they will not be able to provide the life for their child as they should. They recognize another couple or person would be better suited and will be able to give the child more opportunities. As a mother to be, the concept of this is enormous. In actuality, you are putting your child first, as a mother should.
As the child grows and matures, the child will understand what sacrifice you have made. They will grow to understand the situation and find they would not be in a healthy and enriching environment as they currently are without your efforts to give them this opportunity. There are many ways a child will come to recognize that you did the right thing and they will thank and love you for that after time.
When people ask “what will my child think of me?” they expect that the child will grow to resent them and hate them. This is far from the truth. The child will have a nurturing environment that will allow them to deal with the situation positively and constructively. Research shows that children recognize that you, the birthmother, as well as their adoptive parents love them unconditionally.

What Will My Child Think of Me?
Any mother who is looking to put her child up for adoption will always come to the question of “what will my child think of me?” This is a perfectly normal question and can be answered by first understanding what putting your child up for adoption really means and how it will affect your child.
When you make the decision to put your child up for adoption, this means you have weighed options and you have come to the decision that you cannot offer your unborn child a fulfilling life.
No matter how much many women want to be able to provide for their child, they just simply cannot because of monetary or mental conditions. Whichever the case, you are putting your child first and that is the most unselfish thing you can do.
