I think if they were to drop their kid off at some orphanage/institution, then yes. That I think is wrong. But if the couple finds a good and loving family who wants to care for such child, then I don't think it's wrong. Much the opposite, actually. It's a big sacrifice to be pregnant when you don't have a baby to look forward to, and I would really admire a couple who make that sacrifice for the sake of giving their child the best life possible.
It's easy to say "well, if you can support the baby financially then you should just keep him/her..." but I think it's important to keep in mind that a person's emotional/mental capability is just as much a factor.
Ah, I have to apologize here then.
I misread your OP and thought that the situation was one of handing the baby off for adoption and that the adoption agency would hopefully find the loving family.
If the situation is that such a loving family is found by the parents, then I wouldn't have a problem with that.
Ok, that makes more sense then lol. Yeah, definitely giving the baby to a family, chosen and established before the birth.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
