Is giving your baby up for adoption considered being self fish? thats what my mom thinks.?
Answer:

Of course it's selfish. As Serge B pointed out, you're giving away a child because you can't be arsed to look after it yourself - personally, I can't think of anything more selfish.

All this bollox you're spouting about a baby having a better life just isn't true. The truth is that you leave a child in the world who's likely to be broken, and lost, and always missing an unobtainable part of itself (its history). Being adopted hurts like feck, because you 'know', deep down inside, that you're so bad that not even your own mother wanted you.

Also, how'd you know the kid's gonna have a "better life"? Once you've handed it over to the aparents, they can do pretty much what they like with it, and don't have to involve you in it all.
