This book is fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone considering a pregnancy, whether single or not. I have been in this situation in my life, and this book is very truthful and factual in regards to emotions experienced and reactions of others, and it also offers alot of useful tips and advice. It is uplifting and not only celebrates life, but also the strength of women who make this choice. It is without reservation that I give it 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sad but necessary., December 16, 1997

This review is from: Having Your Baby When (Paperback)

This is one of those books that should never have had to be written. Sadly, the need is there, and Nugnet undertakes the task with compassion and resourcefulness. This is an excellent resource book for physicians, school counselors, pastors, and others to whom a pregnant woman might turn for help when she is being pressured to abort.

This review is from: Having Your Baby When (Paperback)

A mother who surrenders her baby for adoption NEVER gets over the loss. In fact the pain gets worse with time and expecially after reunion. Mothers experience Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Disenfranchised Grief and the children suffer from Attachment Disorders. Adoption is a 5 bil unregulated industry in the US with the babies being the commodities and the mothers being exploited for their babies. Adoption is NOT a "loving option" keeping your baby is the loving and natural thing to do. Adoption is not natural. 80% of open adoptions close after 3 months of the adoption finalizing. Do not let anyone convince, coerce or brainwash you into signing those papers you will regret it for the rest of your life. Anti-Abortionists should be ashamed of themselves for promoting adoption and not promoting a mother to keep and raise her own child. This is coercion of the highest order.
