[Canbuhay]

Whatever the problems of adoption, it is far better than killing that child. It is simple: either allow that child to live the life they have or kill it. That's not a religious view, that is simply the fact of what abortion does.

I know what adoption is like since I had to give my son up for adoption, well open adoption that is. I don't like to be judged for what I did, I am only 21 years old and he is 4 months old almost 5 months. I love him with all my heart, and I did whats the best for him, I am in contact with the adoptive parents. I always ask of how he is doing that shows that I love him. I love him with all my heart and all ways will like I always say. Hes my heart, Hes my world, Hes my everything, Hes my son!

I was adopted :D

I don't believe in abortion but adoption isn't always wonderful either. I was adopted by a couple who were approved by the Los Angeles bureau of adoptions. They were well off and I lived in a big home with a swimming pool....I went to private schools, etc. I was also sexually abused by my adopted father, who was actually a pedophile. I remember spending long hours trying to hide from him. I longed for my real parents to come get me. Adoption isn't always the right choice. Keep your baby!

[TheNinjabrownie]

I love this song so much. I'm adopted and I wonder if my mother would ever just pass me by or say hello. Just the thought that I actually was held by her 17 years ago makes me sad. I just want to thank her for giving me life.

I feel so horrible for having considered abortion at one point in my life... I didnt do it, because I turned out not to be pregnant. I dont think I've ever felt more ashamed of myself than I do right now... I know now that even if I cant provide for my own baby, I will never go that route. Thank you for writing this song... it really did hit me on a very deep and personal level. You changed me inside today. Thank you so much.

@Canbuhay - u make a good point, its the mother choice to have the ultimate decision for the child 2 either give the child a life they deserve wether its with u or not, or not 2 give the child a life at at... its a hard decision either way, i just hope people make the right decision and... GIVE THE CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION. theres always people out there who cant have children, but they would like 2 someday.

make the right decision... please... chose LIFE!!!!!

[Faunatik]

What a moving song! And it's so amazing to read all those beautiful stories of people who were also given a chance to live their own life. God bless the mothers who have the courage to make that choice.
