[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]obviously accidental. The age concern is an issue to us. We are looking into open adoption. [/quote]

Now I know you are a COMPLETE weirdo.  Holy sh*t.

1) 56 and pregnant
2) rude responses despite shamelessness of AMA thread about it
3) giving baby up for freaking adoption (when not necessary).

wow.  just wow.[/quote]

I don't think that it's weird to consider open adoption at all. To be honest, I would probably have considered abortion if I was in her shoes. [/quote]

IMHO, if a otherwise capable and SES stable family does not feel up to parenting another child and chooses adoption over abortion, that is an incredibly selfless thing to do.  There is a lot of stigma around adoption, everyone will know about the baby, ask about the baby, etc., and it is hard to say honestly we are not up for this, our family is complete and while I love this child I think the best thing for this child is to give him/her up for adoption.  She is talking about an open adoption.  My hat is off to OP.[/quote]

I guess I disagree.  If I were the kid, to learn down the road that my birth family was "capable and SES stable" yet still gave me away . ..  yikes!  That would cause some serious trauma/anger issues, I think.[/quote]

Unless you also learned that your birth parents were in their fifties when you were born and wanted you to have a more typical childhood and parents.  Also, the OP is looking into open adoption, which means (I believe) that the child would know about and possibly have a relationship with OP and her husband.  I think adoption is a selfless and beautiful thing that humans can do for one another.  OP, I wish you and your family a lot of luck.[/quote]
