Interested In Adopting a Baby
Posted: 09-08-03 13:40pm

My husband and I want to adopt a baby, however, we don't have 30,000 dollars, so am I wrong for wanting to help a teenager in trouble as well as benefit from it as well?

Please let me know your feelings.

No, I dont think its wrong to want to do that. In fact I was thinking earlier that I would want to do the same thing later on in my life. I would not have the money either and if there is a teen who wants to giver her baby to a good home who take care of the baby alot better financially and emotionally then I would go for it. If you can do that, then good luck!

Thank you nikki, I need all the support I can get right now, that makes me feel good. Everybody offers tax credits, grants, and loans, but you can only apply after the placement of a child is made. Thanks again.

There is nothing wrong with posting that you want to adopt a child. There are so many on here that talk of abortions and you can save them the agony and pain. They should be on here reading this...Maybe it will give them some hope instead of guilt for wanting and going through an abortion.

I dont think it's wrong lisa, I just urge you to be very careful. Is it really that expensive in the states? Here in canada it's free, although the waiting lists are long for a newborn and the paper work can be tedious. Would you consider adopting a child who's a bit older than a newborn? I'm sure that would make it alot easier on you. I am adopted and I know what my parents went through to get me so I can sympathize with you. I hope you get a beautiful baby soon.
Love

I think that is good what you and your husband want to do. I just wish I would've knew you before I had made the terrible choice to terminate my pregnancy 2 weeks ago because I rather had did adoption. Keep on looking trust me there are teenagers that need your services.

You Are Doing a Great Thing!

I think that it is wonderful that you are posting to adopt a child. If you read through alot of these post there are alot of teenagers that don't know what to do and you just might be the one that becomes one of these babies angel and save them from abortion or going to grow up in a foster home. I will pray that god will send you someone and you will get your baby! Good luck to you . Don't ever think it is wrong to post that here you want to do a wonderful thing! May god bless you and your husband.

i agree with you 100%. i am waiting to complete my homestudies so i can adopt. it is free here in canada but only if you go through public adoption, private can cost a few thousand dollars (not sure how much). ill tell you what, if i find someone in need in georgia ill refer her to you if you refer someone from alberta to me, haha. we, the bleeding heart/prospective adoptive parents, need to stick together Wink
best of luck
ps have you checked out the pregnant teen forum? i didnt see anything about advertising yourself being inappropriate on there.
