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.

I think its great that someone like yall
are out there for teens in trouble and
like me to help give teens a second chance
and at the same time having them help
someone out there that is willing to help
takecare and guide a loving inasent child
theres not many of yall out there

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! Posted: 09-11-03 08:30am
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
best of luck
ps have you checked out the pregnant teen
forum? i didnt see anything about
advertising yourself being inappropriate
on there.
