The situation is the following and I would appreciate any good support. An unfitted mother recently gave me her child with papers and everything stating it. What would be my step in order to get him a visa, since I did not use an adoption agency but the child simply given to me.

We are the process of adopting a four month old infant. I know the birth mother personally and was involved with the pregancy and the birth of our child. She now wants to be involved with child and wants the child to call her mommy. How do I explain this to our child without hurt feelings.

my poor neices are in state custody for the second time. the first time the mother lost her rights and this time my brother lost his. the state is just giving me the run around. won't tell me any court dates or anything and i don't speak to my brother anymore so no help there. my husband has a felony that he got when he was 18 and they say that is way they won't let us do the paper work to get them. we can't have any of our own so we would glady take them and love them. if anyone would can tell me anything to try i would be very thankful.

I want to try and arrange the adoption of my grandson by my future son in law. He loves him so much and the birth father was only interested in him one month before birth and then one month after birth, not interested in any shape or form since. Grandson will be almost three when daughter getting married. The birth father doesn't contribute in any way money, or even presents for his son. We have no contact address or numbers for the birth father. How easy or not is it for the real father in his life to adopt him, any help greatly received. The fiancee loves him so much and wants to adopt him and i would love to help him or arrange it as a wedding present to them both. I love my daughter and this would meen so much to them both.

My granddaughter can't seem to get it together and provide a happy, healthy atmosphere and I think she is going to give up my great grandbaby. My health is fine but all of my money has gone to raising my children and part of the grandchildren. Are there any programs to help with the adoption and a monthly stipend for food, clothes and the necessities that the grandbaby will need as she grows up? Any info is greatly appreciated.

Is it just a local way of thinking? We re looking to adopt a second child, and EVERYONE we speak to over here (we live in Kenya) is against it. The general vibe is that if we are able to have our own, we should. Plain and simple. That if we adopt - the child could grow up to be "a problem" - bad genes, etc.

Children are children. Biological or adopted. Everyone will be a teenager sooner or later - I just see it as something a parent has to work through... not shy away from adoption because of a possible "bad seed".

Anyway. Am I missing something?? Is there some big hassle and negative aspect of adoption that I am not seeing?

When do you normally give a babyshower? What if it is a foster parent with a very good chance of adopting? My friend wants a shower but doesnt want to wait for the adoption to be final because it takes so long. Is there a customary timeline for this? I don't know the first thing about giving a babyshower - any suggestions?

I have a nice, quiet house in a small town and my husband makes enough for me to quite working (I don't really want to yet, I only work part-time). I'm kinda young (early 20's). And I think I'd want to wait at least one year, maybe two. My kids are 5 and 9 months.

When I was in high school I was extremely popular and destined for great things. Although I was very successful academically, I was just like most teens, young and stupid and got myself pregnant 2 months before I got accepted into college. I was devasted because all my dreams were going to go down the drain because of this baby so I gave her up and never looked back. Now 22 years later I’m happily married with two beautiful daughters , 7 and 11, who mean the world to me and the wealth and social status I was destined for. Recently the daughter I gave up lost her adoptive mother to cancer and contacted me. We had lunch and I told her I did what I had to do to guarantee my future and that I didn’t want to hear from her again. She asked to meet her sisters just once without telling them who she was but I’m worried she’ll try to use them stay in my life. Why doesn’t she understand that the whole point of giving her up was to have this very life and that I don’t want her in it?

I'm an adoptee and after quite a bit of searching, I found my birth mother and her family. My maternal biological family is a pretty decent group of people, and I now see them around the holidays and keep in touch occasionally.

My biological mother, however, has been in jail for the past 11 years for a crime that I consider almost unforgivable. I've been in touch with her, we've written back and forth, and she would like to have some level of relationship with me when she is paroled. She claims she can't remember my biological father's name, and has had no contact with him since before I was born. I'm not concerned with finding him anyway.

While I am happy to finally know where I come from...(at least on the mother's side), and I've been pleased to find great maternal grandparents...part of me regrets finding my biological mother.

I'd like to hear from other Adoptees who found their birth parents. Was it a positive experience? Negative? Do you regret it?

In my opinion it is best to adopt a homeless child rather adopting a dog becasuse even if what the child turns out to be in the future as long as you treat him or her with love and care they will always hold a sense of gratitude whitin them for you.

My parents' family is rich and I'm very well off, my parents tried force me to have a abortion, because they told me it's more shamful to put your child up for adoption, because my child is illegitimate and bring shame and disgrace upon our family.

I kept my child without telling them I'm having it, but do you think it's bad to put the baby up for adoption even when I'm financially well off and have a stable career? Should I just bare the shame to raise my child on my own?

We are having trouble picking out a theme or kind of party to have for them. My niece gave her children to us, she keeps having children to try and trap a man into a situation, when the man leaves her she gives her child(ren) away! It's sad and we don't speak anymore. But our adoption is almost final and we are trying to plan a party!

I'm always coming across ad's & such that are advertisements for these "loving couples" who are willing to adopt a baby. My question(s) are...
1.) If you want to be a parent so bad then why are you so picky. (Healthy newborns?)
2.) Why do you only want a newborn, there are plenty of older children who need the love of parents too?
Most white couples want only a HEALTHILY WHITE NEWBORN, it makes me ill.
I feel that if you have a undying need to become a parent it should not matter what "type" of child you become a parent too as long as you get to become parents. Babies or should I say children in general are not puppies at a pound to be picked over & the cutest one taken home.

Is anyone adopted? How did you feel when you found out?
The reason I ask is that I gave up my son to a loving family because I was too young to take care of him. Recently I heard a few people saying that adoption is the worst thing a kid could find out or that it was bad for the child. So now I feel slightly insecure about my decision, I know I did the right thing, but will he hate me for it when he grows up?

I will tell you my situation and you tell me if you see any roadbumbs. I want to adopt my step-daughter and my wife agrees. We live in California and I am in the marines. The natural father is incarcerated and is in Texas (where we were before I was stationed here). His rights of seeing her switched to his parents when he went to prison (btw his crime was raping his 12 year old neice) We don't think he will sign her over willingly. Before I do this I just want to know if the adoption and termination of rights will go without problems.
