Motherhood Vs. Taxihood

God Bless you Sandra for bringing forth a life and not aborting your child. There is a reason for everyone to be on this earth, and your reason will become clear to you if you keep looking -- the reason for your child will also be made known to you.To be completely honest, bringing up/parenting a child is far more difficult (and rewarding) than you may know (if you haven't done it yourself). Pregnancy is a walk in the park compared to parenting, in my opinion. Sandra, it is very sad that your child's adoptive parents were unacceptable but please don't believe that all adoptive parents are bad parents. The majority are wonderful parents from those I've encountered. They are people who longed to parent and love a child. You may have carried your child into this world, but rememember that your child truly belongs to God (as do you) and pray that your child will be blessed in the future. It is the women and men who actually properly rear children who should be most considered as parents. (If a parent is really bad, natural or adoptive, they shouldn't be allowed to raise any children at all!)
