how do you feed the child, what about adoption, do you think a girl would feel guilty for adopting out her child?

Okay, first there's a lot of subforums this should be in instead of on the main page, and second... what? You need to be clearer with what you're asking.

Like Savina, I am a little unclear about what you want to know. Feel free to go into more detail so we can answer your questions better.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by "how do you feed the child," but I will take a stab at it. You can use breast milk straight from your breast, you can use breast milk that you put into a bottle, or you can use formula in a bottle until the baby starts to eat more solid food.

Whether or not the girl would feel guilty depends on the girl. Mothers are not pod people. The same thing isn't going through all of their heads. That means that some will feel guilty, some won't, just like we anything else. We can't make generalizations about people to that extent. We can't say, "Yup, every single person who puts their baby up for adoption feels guilty." And really, there isn't much to feel guilty about. If a woman gets pregnant, but knows that she can't give the baby everything it deserves, then she should not feel guilty about giving it to people who can give it what it deserves. She might feel a little sad without her baby, but I would imagine most women (again, they're not pod people) would feel somewhat happy at the same time that their child is getting what they deserve. There are probably many other emotions in the mix too, again depending on the person. Some mothers may worry about their children because they might not have contact with them.

To touch upon what Lorien mentioned, there's also two types of adoption: Open and closed adoption.

Open adoption means you get to pick the family that your baby goes to. And once the baby has been adopted, if I'm remembering correctly, the birth mother also gets visits with her child while it's growing up, so she can remain (to a degree) in her child's life.

Closed adoption means the mother signs over her parental rights to an adoption agency, and the baby is adopted out to a family which the birth mother does not get to choose. It also means the birth mother has no contact with her child until the child is 18. At that point, mother and child are able to start looking for each other.
