Her post on Reddit reads: "I am letting my baby be adopted so I can give him a better, more stable life with two parents.

"I am bipolar and don't feel that I can care for a child, especially by myself."

"I think he deserves two parents who want him and can care for him. I have been so depressed since the baby's father and I have broken up that I spend days in bed. I know I could not raise a child in my present state of mind."

She further added, "I want to have my tubes tied after this. My greatest wish is for the baby is for him to have two loving parents and a happy, healthy home. My greatest wish for myself is to someday be normal."

The internet supported her decision and wrote comments like, "As someone who was adopted and has a great life, I would love to have a letter simply saying why. Maybe some health issues that I could possibly get? But I'm so proud of you for realising that you're not in a good spot where you can raise a child and therefore putting him up for adoption. I imagine that's a very tough decision to make."
