Due in 4 weeks... Not ready to be separated from her

This baby is being adopted due to financial reasons and I cannot afford to keep her. I already have 3 kids and I know the best choice for my family financially would be to not add another one. I was not mentally able to go through with an abortion so I found an amazing couple to adopt instead. They have been there for everything and gone to every appointment. The adoption mother and I have become good friends as well. I know this is the best for the baby but I can't shake the feeling that I failed her because her mom is not going to be me. The feelings and emotions of not keeping her are crushing me.

Are you able to change your mind and keep her??

@Jordan no honestly I cannot financially support another kid. If i did then I would cause the rest of my kids to suffer..bills are too high as is and I'm already on a tight budget for their food. I make too much to qualify for anything but not enough to pay for everything.

Ok I understand. I’m sorry to hear of your situation. It sounds like you’re doing the best you can.

@Jordan thank you. Just needed to vent this out somewhere. There's not many people I can go to to talk about it.

You are in no way failing her as a mother ! As mums we are meant to always do what is best and save them from any suffering no matter how hard it is. This is so strong and selfless of you ! Please don’t beat yourself up!
