Birth parents are the biological parents of a child. They are the individuals who contribute genetic material, such as sperm and egg, that leads to the conception of the child. Birth parents may choose to raise their child or, in some cases, may place the child for adoption. In adoption situations, birth parents may have different reasons for their decision, including financial difficulties, personal circumstances, or the desire to provide a better life for their child. The relationship between birth parents and their child can vary, with some maintaining contact and others choosing to remain anonymous.
