This is exactly how one birth mom always felt about giving up her son at the age of 20. Now 34, she has faced opposition to her decision thanks to her sister-in-law, herself a young mom.
As a college student and aspiring social worker writing a paper on adoption, she wanted to interview her brother's wife about her experience of being a birth mom. She argued with her when she was told that she didn't regret it and that the difficult life she had at the time was totally unsuitable for a child.
The 34-year-old was chastised by her husband for answering her questions honestly when she knew the younger woman had a strongly anti-adoption stance, but she wanted to confirm if she was in the wrong.

AITA for letting my SIL interview me about being a birth mother knowing my answers wouldn't be exactly what she was looking for?

22-year-old college student interviews sister-in-law about giving baby up for adoption at 20, gets angry when she says she doesn't regret it: 'This was the only good decision for him'
Deciding to give a baby up for adoption isn't often a choice that an expecting mom makes easily. Even if she doesn't want a child or does not feel like she is in the right position to be a mom, it is still a hugely difficult process to go through an entire pregnancy and birth and then cut contact with the baby. There is a lot to consider with it.
Nonetheless, many birth parents maintain that adoption is the best choice for the child in their personal situation. Nobody makes a decision that momentous without there being what they believe is a very solid reason behind it. No matter what the drawbacks of the adoption process, it is frequently the case that if a baby stays with their birth family it would be a worse option for them. While it can be an emotive topic, there is logic to it.
