How can two people love each other, have kids and then give them up?

This is something I can not fathom at all. Two people get married, have kids by choice, not by accident and then when the youngest is 3 and the oldest is 8 they just give them up and move to another place. What is wrong with people?

I've never heard of this happening but in all honesty, if parents are capable of doing this....the kids are probably better off with someone else. People don't realize that you never stop being a parent, no matter how old the children are.

I agree that parents like that don't deserve to have kids but the kids don't always feel that way. They want their parents love or at least answers as to why they would do such a horrible thing. Thanks for your response

Well it should not be that way.Something seems wrong with that picture.I don,t know what happened..Alot of things happen that should't, sounds like someone fell out of love or there is a lot of stress and trama in the relationship..Usually when two people are married and have children this does not "just happen" something is awful wrong here...

Well in this particular case they were not splitting up they digged the kids and stayed together. And you are right something was definitely aweful wrong there. I am married and have been for 25 years and can't imagine doing that. Good thing because I like my son and want to keep him. By the way he only moved out two weeks ago and it is really quiet here. :)

As sad and as cruel as it is there are people that do it. There has to be a reason and the least they could do is leave a letter for the kids so that when they grow up they might be able to understand the reason. But life goes on and hopefully the cycle doesn't continue.

I honestly dont know the answer to this. However i guess sometimes it's best that they split, as it can only make life a 100% times worse and on the other side it screw up the kids and course issues. Personally if it's workable and they can manage, i see no point in taking the easy route and giving up. If it's not what they want it's there life. I could leave my wife and if she left me then i probably wouldn't do much at all. Kudos! ~Joey
