Pregnancy Info HOME

hi jenna - i am sorry you are going thru a tough time especially while you are pregnant. if you have indeed decided on adoption for your child you have several options. have you talked to a counselor or a clergy person to help with this decision? you didn't say what area you are in - but i live in california and here you can do anything from working with the department of social services (it's free and they can help you with housing and food costs while you are pregnant)where they will do the whole thing - they will pick the parents for your baby or you can find a private adoption, where you pick the parents based on email / talking to them etc, most private agencies have long lists of people wanting to adopt. you can also choose if you want an open adoption where you can stay in contact with the parents / baby (via letters / phone calls or visits) whatever is comfortable with you. a closed adoption is just that - the records are closed and you have no contact with the family. ** my husband and i are looking into private adoption as we have just had our 2nd miscarriage this year (one in march and one in september), and we desperately want another baby. if i can help in anyway - i'd be happy to - i myself am adopted and grateful to my birthmom for giving me a great life with a wonderful family. if you want you can email me at newmercedes at gmail dot com and i can share my experience with you.
