Even with the help of families and friends, the task can be overwhelming for many people. Often family and friends are there at the beginning, then when times get more difficult you are on your own. What ever your decision is, you are ultimately going to be the primary caregiver and the person that will need to take care of your child. This can be a sacrifice for many years to come, some women are ready for years to come. Many women realize the time is not right for them to parent and that adoption is the most sensible and most important decision they will make for their child and their future.
