The other issue here is that you may think you've found a perfect, loving home for your child, but the truth is you'll never really know. Some people play the part very well in order to get custody of a child, but when push comes to shove they really can't handle it.
Case in point: My next door neighbor (who is so sweet whenever I see her) divulged to me just two days ago that her and her husband's son is adopted and special needs (behavioral, I think), and that they are currently in the process of adopting a second special needs boy. How wonderful, right? Two lucky little boys. What she doesn't know is that the walls in this apartment complex are very thin, and I can hear her literally screaming, swearing, and berating this boy on a daily basis.
Many people have good intentions, but the truth us, you just never know. The ONLY way to be 100% certain that the child you chose to bring into this world ( versus terminating) is being properly loved and cared for, is to do it the loving and caring yourself. Anything less is completely selfish, and not putting the child's best interests first, imo.
