Jesus said for those who trust in Him He shall meet their needs according to His riches in gory. He told his disciples that in this world ye shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have over come the world. With God nothing impossible. So come to Him with your petitions. You are never alone and He knows your name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind, that if your child knows your love, poverty will be no great shakes. My prayers to you n yours n peace upon your soul.

It just crosses my mind at times because I feel I cant do this. You should do what's best for your son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give your child away would be to question his decision to give you this gift. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayin jade is absolutely right. Some more things you might consider (aka thowing my opinions into the mix ) 1) Be wary of assuming that you will be raising your child in poverty. Neither you nor any of us here knows your future. When I was 20 years old and in school, I was eating Beanie-Weenies to stay alive. I'm in my 60's now, and made it just fine through those lean times by the grace of God. The fact that you're in school (and are doing well!) shows that you have good motivation and a good head on your shoulders. Keep on the course. 2) Using wisdom in managing your money now, no matter how much you have or don't have, will benefit you greatly. If you start practicing good financial habits now, they will have become normal practice when you get a job and earn more income. 3) Decisions based on fear seem to be the ones that bite you in the back down the road. (Ask yourself- Am I considering giving up my child simply because I am afraid he will grow up in poverty?) 4) (With a nod to @ayin jade) The foundation of a home (adopted or not) is love, not things. That becomes clearer and clearer as we continue to age and mature. We are for you, @Figure of eighty, and we want your life to be happy and successful. Don't forget about the Prayer Request forum if you think adding a thread there would be helpful to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would God me mad at me if I gave up my baby? I think you’ve gotten plenty of feedback on that one.....but there are always two sides to every coin...so the other side of the coin should not be ignored either...... 2. Would God me mad at me if I didn’t properly take care of this “gift” He gave me? While you are deliberating question one, don’t forget question two. I believe that question needs to be pondered, discussed, and answered just as much. Still praying....... spock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was truly homeless with zero support Id most likely give him away. I was just frustrated I'm not out of my program yet and dealing with stressors.

I probably didn’t even do my best. God understands and knows you. I think it’s not bad or sin to give up a baby to someone in a better situation. However; I think you and God can do this! You even asking for advice on a Christian Forum shows your trying. In the end children are “arrows in our quiver”. My best friend is my daughter. She is 24. It wasn’t always easy, but it’s worth it.

Sometimes maybe it is wiser to be safe instead of sorry.......not offering this up as an excuse, but it’s a fact— “ The flesh is weak”.......
