Chris could have let his son go with his wife when she left him.
Chris could have given his son up for adoption in a foster home.
Explanation:
Chris Gardener is compelled to leave his son when his wife Linda leaves him, but he commands that his son (Christopher) has to stay with him though he doesn’t have a job to feed him every day. Letting his son go with his wife who has gotten a job in New York would have eases the financial burden on him.
Having once lived himself in a foster home, giving up his son for adoption would have given both of them an easier and quicker route to living better, but Chris stuck with his son.
