To birth-moms from a man - why is it painful to give up your baby for adoption?
As a man who has never had children, I am trying to understand how painful and why.
It would pain me to give up my dog Kacey for adoption ([URL="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/IrjTFF3dejS5WL5KMJrcSA?authkey=Gv1sRgCP_3rP6QkanuoAE&feat=directlink"]picture here[/URL]).
However, it did not pain me to give away my lazy, selfish cat - Flatface, away. ([URL="http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8TJSDVn4k6n9errjg3kPUw?authkey=Gv1sRgCP_3rP6QkanuoAE&feat=directlink"]picture here[/URL])
Can you please rank the following to understand the "how much"?
Also if you can explain the "why it is painful". (feel free to add more events.)
My ranking is below - from most traumatic, to least.
1 death of close family
2 disability from car or other accident
3 divorce
4 abortion
5 job loss
6 death of pet
7 giving up baby for adoption
