Q: Desperately want to adopt a baby !

I desperately want to adopt a baby, however, every time I get a chance, something always happens. I am so heartbroken. I even called the family and children services and they won't even returen my calls. I want a baby so bad that I ache inside. But I don't have thousands of dollars, so I guess my dream will just go down the drain. Thanks for listening.

Dont give up! You have to keep trying! Maybe its because god has a baby just for you but you have to wait. Maybe the ones you want, werent meant to be for you. Trust me, you will adopt but you need to be patient! Keep trying all services for it and dont give up hope. I bet there are alot of mothers who want to give their babies up for adoption but they cant find nobody. Your time will come for it so dont worry ok!? You are in my prayers!

How do you hurt them? Maybe you can find something to take up your take. Do you go to church? The nurseries at churches always need help. Maybe you can join a book club, volunteer to be a teachers aid at a school. I wish I had time to do stuff like that. You need to lean patience and wait. But keep occupied til then.

Hi lisa, im sorry your feeling so lonely right now. My mom had 6 miscarriages and had 4 failed adoptions before she got me. She waited 15 years for me, but the point of the story is that she did get me in the end. Like someone said, maybe they weren't the babies that were meant for you. If your meant to get one you will. Don't give up hope darling, it willl happen.
Love

Maybe you need to learn patience before having one,and even "not hurting the ones you love" when things are not right?Children need a lot of patience and wont understand why you hurt their feelings,even if you dont mean it,out of sorrow or stress...

Did you try adopting children from a different race?Or even children that are bigger(not babies)...Those need love even more cause they feel unwanted,they understand,and most times they lost their parents so they need alot of tlc...
Good luck

Hi There..
I totally know how you are feeling.. If noone has walked in your shoes with infertilty they have no idea how hard it is...The want you need so bad for a baby.. I know I have been there... Everytime you hear one of your friends are pregnant you just want to run and hide to cry.. The hardest part for me was when my sisters-in-laws were pregnant and my sister.. I didn't want to talk to them, didn't want to be near them, I just plainly didn't want nothing to do with them.. I so know where you are coming from... I have a son through the blessing of IVF and he is truly my miracle child.. It took us a long 7 years for him.. We are now tunring towards adoption too. We have been approved for 2 months and I know that's not long.. I to hate to wait, I hope that this day comes soon for our family.. My son asks me all the time mom where is my brother or sister? When are they coming home? I just have to look into his big blue eyes and say I don't know honey... It breaks my heart to see him want something so bad but can't do nothing about it.. I feel for you and I totally understand where you are coming from.. Someday, somewhere, there is a child out there for you and me and we will be with them someday.. Until then just spread the word and let people know that you are wanting to adopt and that helps me to have patience and understanding that it happens when it is suppose to happen... I wish you that best...

Reality Check
It's somewhat suprising how everybody is encouraging lhileman to adopt a baby after she shared words that should serve as red flags, "I keep hurting the people that I love the most, and I don't know why. I really need help! I am sooooo lonely..."

It seems somewhat irresponsible to encourage such a person to persevere in adopting a child without having additional information to address the obvious issues. For example, how does lhileman keep hurting those she loves? Does she physically abuse them? Steal from them? Rarely meet her commitments? Or, is that simply a dramatic way of expressing the shortcomings that most children-ready parents have?

"I really need help!" Is that cry for help with a chemical addiction? If so, why are you people encouraging her to adopt a kid!!

Finally, if one's primary, or significant motive for wanting a baby is because s/he is lonely, then not only should the person refrain from making a decision about a baby while lonely, but s/he should not be encouraged to have a baby to help address that need.

Let's take a moment to think about how we are responding before doing so. lhileman may very well be a healthy person and well preprared for parenthood, but a little caution is certainly appropriate since you don't have enough context for her words. Accoridngly, you have no idea if your responses are helpful or a fool's advice, pushing her and her potential baby toward disaster.
