Pregnancy Info HOME

i'm sorry to hear that you are having to make such a difficult decision. i'm 23 , my huusband and i have been trying for a while now to get pregnant, tried ivf last nov. 2007 but miscarried. i was adopted when i was 18yrs - sounds strange -i know -its b/c i grew up being physically & mentally abused by my biological mother and social services didnt do anything til i was 14 yrs old- finally took me out of the home. the home i was placed in was wonderful and they are my parents and i am very thankful for them but what i wanted to tell you was that they had also adopted other children some from birth and older.- like me. my longer brother that was adopted from birth knows that he was adopted b/c his biological mother couldnt take care of him and loved him enough to know that he would be better off with a family that could take care of him. he is now 7yrs and understands what happen. i thinks its better to let the child know from as soon as they can talk that this is your mommy but they grew in another womens body who loved them very much. the children that dont get told til they are older or dont find out their family secret til adult- have issues of not uderstanding why they were given up for adoption. hope this helps you

It sounds like you've had a really rough time of things. Adoption is a really beautiful choice and you're a wonderful person for giving your child life. That alone is a great testament to the love you have for him/her.
I'm 30 and my husband is 28.
I think an open adoption is a really great option. My husband and I lost a daughter in our seventh month after many, many years of trying to years of conceive. We have also been told we can no longer have children so we're looking to adopt. We would actually prefer an open adoption because as the child gets older you can make sure they understand that their first mom loved them so much that she gave them a better life - that even though her heart ached for him/her she put her own interests aside and did what was best for him/her. I believe it's important that the child knows that.
It's also great if the first mom can be part of the family. If other siblings can be involved I think it's ideal as well...we hope to simply join with another family and have a large network of family for our child to grow up in...feeling loved by so many.

You have probably already made your decision about this baby, but if you haven't please contact me! I am a 26 year old single mom. My son is 4, and we would love nothing more than to have a baby brother or sister in the house!!!! My son is amazing. He's very well loved and cared for, but he really really is ready for a brother or sister. :)

hey guys sorry that you are still replying to this post, but it is an old one, I made the choice to terminate. I dont regret it, things are better for us and in a few more years we will have another one, I hope all of you girls get a baby for adoption though, i know a lot of couples are looking for them and if you are patient it will happen for you guys too

My parents who are 45 and 42 really want a baby. They own a house they have a nice life. They tried for a long time to have a baby but my mother had two tube pregnancys and then after that she tried to do the hormones and all that stuff. Spent a fortune. It turned out her womb had huge fibroids on it so they had to remove it. She is happy and a wonderful person. My step father is really wonferful as well. We live in Canada and it's really nice here. The only problem is that my parents dont have 10 thousand or 18 thousand dollars to put out up front. They have good income and all that, but it's not like they get a pay check of 18 thousand dollars. They really want a baby:( I feel bad because I have a child and I am able to have children so it hurts my mother even more:(

b4 any women consider puttin up their kid 4 adoption they hav 2 b 100 percent sure dats what they want 2 do. its not goin 2 b easy 4 u or 4 da couple dat want 2 adopt. once da child is born can u really jus giv him/her up. i jus had a misc a few days ago and it was my 1st preg. but anyway there r some good couples n da world dat would make good parents but there r also bad couples n da world dat u dont want ur kids bein raise by them. wit adoption u may end up handin ur kid over 2 a couple dat can hurt da child. there r kids n this world dat do hate their birth parents b cuz of da bad things they went through n their life. i kno n my heart dat i couldnt put my child up 4 adoption. i may not hav alot of money but dats o.k. all dat matters is dat u love ur child and protect him/her. let god take care of da rest. things hav a way of fallen n 2 place. jus wait till ur child is born and jus hold him/her. then ask urself can u really giv ur child up.
