The top reasons I have heard was that they were not ready for the responsibility or sometimes they leave because they are not getting along with someone in the family and just up and leave.Or they leave because they think the child will be better off growing up without them. |

I'm sorry that happened to you. I can't believe that anybody could do that to their child. My ex-girlfriend got pregnant and the father of her child wanted nothing to do with it so he left. I don't know what the reasons are but fortunately, she has her family helping her in raising the child.  |

My mother left me when I was 6 years old and didn't come back until I was 17. To this day, I have never gotten an explanation from her either. I don't have any children, but I know that if I did, I would and could not ever leave them, no matter what!!!  |

I think leaving a child is more common than anyone thinks it is. ! ! ! !  |

the reasons i've heard is that they can not handle the responsibility of taking care of the child, they don't want the child, and that they are not financially independent to support the child.  |

Heres a story- yall might like ---- my twin cousins father went to prison when his wife was pregnant, he got a life sentence. Well my aunt and her prison husband decided to divorce, she was still pregnant at the time. this was in Vegas. Well --- my aunt remarried, and her sons were raised as her new husbands children. The REAL father while in prison agreed this was also for the best! Well needless to say when they boys were 18 they found out who thier real father was. Strangely, one of the boys- wanted to take his real fathers last name----- so he did, went to college, and strangely the last name was very uncommon- he was in a professors class with the last name, sure enough his professor, 3 states away was his first cousin. Things just happen I guess. |

Do you know FOR SURE that you were "abandoned"? I ask this, because my mother HAD TO give up my younger sister, and many people gave her such hell and made horrible remarks about the situation that THEY KNEW NOTHING ABOUT. They just assumed that because THEY "couldn't do such a thing", that she just dumped or abandoned my sister because she didn't want her. The OPPOSITE is the truth. She had NO other choice. I won't relate the whole story, but my mom HAD TO GIVE HER AWAY....HAD TO. There are many many such cases, where to do the right thing for the CHILD is not the easiest. My mom SAVED my sis from a life of poverty, and horrible abuse by our father, by giving her to a very wonderful couple who adored her and wanted her (they couldn't have children of their own). That couple who took my sister are two of my best friends to this very day. They are two of the most wonderful people I have ever known. They talk to my mom, and they and my mom understand; and the nosy busybodies and gossips can just go take a flying leap, for all we care. Very often people don't KNOW the OTHER SIDE; the OTHER STORY; and assume something based on THEIR own experiences or their own lives.  |

My sister-in-law gave her daughter away. She was passed back and forth between the two grandmothers for a few years. Never having a room of her own or a bed of her own. I asked her Mom why she didn't want her and she said she didn't know how to take care of her. That excuse made me so mad because I have five daughters and I knew nothing about taking care of babies when I had my first. But you learn, you don't just give up on them. |
