Is It Normal to Get Angry at Your Newborn?

There are a lot of emotions that come with parenting a newborn, especially if you’ve never had kids before. That includes anger. Your body has also gone through a significant hormonal change, which can compound the emotions you experience.

If you have any questions about the emotions you’re currently feeling, then please don’t hesitate to contact us online at any time or call 1-800-ADOPTION. We are here for you whenever you need us.

Is It Normal to Get Angry at Your Newborn?

Think about the reason behind the anger because you likely aren’t directly angry with your newborn. Rather, you may be angry that you have to parent, or that you have to parent in what might not be optimal circumstances.

Here at our agency, we offer free, 24/7 counseling if you are having a hard time understanding the anger that you’re feeling. A specialist can talk to you and help you decide if parenting or adoption is right for you. Even if you decide to parent, we can still help you cope with these emotions.

Why Do I Feel Angry at My Baby?

You might not be getting enough sleep. Or you may be angry with having to support a child financially, and you’re having trouble making ends meet. Perhaps you’re angry that you don’t have time for other aspects of your life.

Whether those are hobbies, interests, your education or your career, it’s normal to be frustrated in this situation. Although you might not be directly angry at your newborn, you are likely angry with the general circumstances. Those feelings are valid.

If you find that these emotions come from not wanting to parent or being spread too thin, then adoption is an option.

Is Adoption Right for You?

There are many benefits you’ll receive when you place your baby for adoption with our agency. As we mentioned earlier, you’ll be able to benefit from our free, 24/7 counseling services to process any anger, frustrations or other complex emotions.

Aside from our round-the-clock counseling availability, other benefits of adoption include:

• Adoption financial assistance: The last thing you should have to worry about when making this significant choice is your financial situation. As the birth mother, all your adoption-related costs will be covered.

• Birth mother scholarships: At our agency, we offer all prospective birth mothers the opportunity to fulfill their dreams of higher education. If you have aspirations for pursuing further education, then you can apply to our birth mother scholarship program.

• Giving your baby and yourself a better life: Maybe you’re unable to provide the type of life that you want your baby, and yourself, to have. Adoption gives you the chance to create a brighter future for both of you.
