As a teen mom who was able to keep my baby, I have a very negative view of adoption in general. I just wrote an article about the problem with taking babies from mothers who want them.

If we really wanted what was best for the babies, we'd support the mother financially. Many times that's all she needs. If you're willing to pay for medical and legal fees through adoption, why not sponsor a mama instead. Oh, because it's never been about what's best for the baby.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I honestly cannot imagine.
