Adoption

I have a friend who has diagnosed long time ago to be both borderline personality and bipolar. Now she's pregnant, would the government give her child away? In your personal opinion should they? or would the child be better off with it's bio mom dispite of mother's mental condition? She's single unable to hold any relationship with anyone

My husband and I decided to take on our nephew for the summer and I'm not sure if I made the right decision. He has been raised in an environment that we don't raise our own kids so he is different then our three we already have. Different is ok but the lying and arguing have made my children despise being around him. I'm not sure what to do. He's old enough to play outside by himself but he annoys the heck out of my kids. I know it sounds like they are spoiled but they just don't want him here and I'm not sure if I'm being fair. Help, will it get better or should I give up while we're all still ahead?

A family member is considering marriage where a child from a previous relationship is involved. They live in California and would like to have an adoption plan in place before the marriage. We have received conflictng information about the process. We just need to know if it is true that the biological dad must give up parental rights first or if the couple must be married a year and then attempt adoption. The little advice that has been given suggest that since bio dad hasn't come to see his son and has not sent child support (or even bothered to show at the hearings) that there's a good case for abandonment. Any new info would be helpful especially from those who have been there! Thanks.

We have a 1 and a half year old girl. She was a mistake to be honest. She wasnt planned. I didnt use contraception and wife didnt use birth control

We both have absolutely no love for her whatsoever. I cant explain it but, she means the same to us as anyother kid you see on the streets. We are both career minded and she is just getting in the way. So we thought we should just give her away to someone who cares and would enjoy taking care of her.

We will be seeing a solicitor next week, but wondering if there are any people who have given up for adoption and is procedure difficult.

I mean a mom who is about 23-24 and is unmarried who has a child that she adopted? I'm not a mom, I was just wondering what people generally thought about that. Like, would you think differently about them than a young/single mother who had biological children?

When I was much younger My husband, who was my boyfriend at the time and I experienced an unplanned pregancy. We knew we couldn't provide for the baby so we put him up for adoption. Now 15 years later we are married and have 2 boys who are 2 and 4 and we have a little girl on the way. We really want to meet our son we put up for adoption but we don't know if its a good idea for him. We don't want to cause him to have any bad feelings torwards us we just want to meet him. Has anybody else been in a similar situation? how did it go? Should we go ahead and meet him or wait for him to want to meet us?

I haven't seen my father or talked to him in 16 years...he signed over his rights and me and my 4 other siblings got adopted years ago. I recently got his number by running in to a biological family member, and I plan on calling him tonight. I am so nervous and I don't know what to say. I know he might not be me real father and I want to question him aboaut that.

I am 23 years old, and 25 weeks pregnant. Though I have been doing my best thus far to figure a way to give this little girl the best of life and all that she deserves, and I slowly realizing that without the full support of my partner and his family, it might be best for her in the arms of a family who can truely embrace her and provide for her. This was an unplanned pregnancy and it's hard for me to even write this question. I am not dead set by any means on what I really want to do, but does anyone know on where I might best find information on placing a child for adoption? If i did go through with this, I would want to be a part of picking out the family.

Hi everyone! i really need some help. I am 21 years old and have been happly married for 2 years, we have been together for 5 years. when i was 19 i was expecting twin boys, well to make it short, i had premature birth at 5 months, and neither one made it. I really broke our hearts, nothing we were ever expecting or even thought could happen to us. Well i was told by my doctor that i may not be able to every carry another child. We feel that we are being punished for something and we dont know how we can go thru this. we have always dreamed of having a little family together but all of our hopes and dreams were shattered when we lost Hayden and Kayden in 2004. My cousin asked if we would adopt her 2 year old daughter, we were so happy. but we were wondering what are some legal ways to do it. She is going to have a signed paper saying that she is giving us total custody, they said if we keep the child in our home for 6 months, that we can go to our judge and get legal custody. true?

Women who are currently pregnant and looking for adoptive parents might search the web. What is the best way to direct these women to our web page to learn more about us as potential adoptive parents?

Hi. I've heard about adoption grants for couples trying to adopt. We've been trying to adopt though social services and we keep hitting walls. We started January of 2006, and by the time we got our paperwork done, our worker had retired. Her replacement was a joke, so a friend recomended her county worker, who's been trying to place county kids who just don't fit with what we're looking for (we want school aged/she's trying to put toddlers here...we're not set up for little kids!) There are several out of state kids that we're interested in, but the costs of this just intimadates us! The grant sites that I've looked at tell how to donate to their cause, but not how to apply to recieve one. Does anyone know how I'd go about doing this?

We've had our homestudy done since February. We're still waiting to identify a child. How long does this process usually take? We're both getting frustrated, and we want to become parents already, but this is so hard!

And what's with the saying about "flesh and blood". If you can't love someone with different genes to you, that's just crazy. My friend is adopted, and loves her parents, they are her 'real' parents. It sounds really selfish to me to say about your own flesh and blood being more important.

I was just wondering if you got paid to be a surrogate mother, or if it was illegal to sell a baby from your body or something. It sounds like a retarded question. I loved being pregnant and I would help someone out of the kindness of my heart if I got the chance, I was just wondering. How do you get started being a surrogate mother. Or is that one of those things you do for someone you know who needs it. I was just curious so please tell me all you know about surrogat mothers.

HI

I am the daughter of laplagens, and my parents got divorced recently. I have always wanted a baby sis, and me and my mom have discussed, if we find enough money, we could foster or adopt a child. My mom said she would prefer a baby or toddler. Thanx for helping me out!!!!

closed and independent adoption. Are there sites that find birthmothers without the use of an agency? We'll pay all legal fees.

2007-05-31 15:43:10 · 9 answers · asked by Christina 1

what happens next? (I am talking about if a girl/woman doesn't want the baby...if that wasn't clear?)

The only reason I was asking was because I was curious if they attempt to find either parent of the child, or if dropping the baby off, legally terminates the parents rights?
Then I was wondering if they tracked the father down, could he be forced to pay child support, or if he decided to take the baby, could he force mom to pay child support.

Then that made me wonder if a mom can put a child up for adoption without the fathers consent, and what if she doesn't know who the father is?

I have a string of questions about this popping into my head, so anyone with any knowledge on this subject...even if it is not something I specifically asked feel free to enlighten me.

Oh, and don't worry, this question has nothing to do with me...or anyone having done this or thinking of doing it. No need for anyone to worry. I am just being inquisitive.
