[quote=Anonymous]I know an adult whose single parent abandoned her as a teenager. It's not uncommon, but as a previous poster noted, it's usually described as "abuse", "abandonment" or "neglect" rather than voluntarily surrendering the child for adoptive placement. Seems like the parents who go this route don't usually have the consideration/wherewithal to think about the child's best interests and act accordingly. If the parent can't parent, the earlier they admit it to themselves, the better. There are many caring adults in the US waiting to adopt a two year old without significant health problems. (I have friends who fit this description!) As the child gets older, the harder it will be to find a suitable adoptive home. [/quote]
