I changed my stance on abortion after giving my child up for adoption

Several years ago, I gave my child up for adoption. I was not too young, in my early 20s, but my boyfriend (at the time) and I were not ready to become parents. Regardless, I've never wanted children, and I'm even more adamant about it today. Though I contemplated abortion, in the end, I decided adoption was the better choice. Who am I to end the life of a child simply out of convenience, I thought.
