Adopting a child to family members or strangers?

The simple answer is, dont surrender the child to adoption at all. Adoption, particularly in your case where you have parents willing to raise the child for you, is an unnecessary legal lie. Give your parents legal guardianship of the child, stand up and be responsible for your choices and spare your child the pain and anguish that so many adopted children experience. Youve made your choices, please have the decency to make sure that youre available and able to explain them to your child when theyre old enough to ask. A child is ALWAYS better off remaining within their biological family rather than being handed off to genetic strangers.
