Adoption

For those who believe that mothers requested anonymity when relinquishing their babies, Can you please site your sources for what leads you to believe that?

If no such documents are found to the effect of anonymity, then would you support the rights of adult adoptees to their own birth certificates? Why or why not?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Just wanted to know...because you don't hear it too often. I keep in contact with my daughter. I get two yearly visits with her and she knows that i'm her mother and that she is adopted. Is there any adoptees that do the same?

I'm just wondering what some of the basic qualifications are to adopt a toddler in the US (Tennessee).. The company I work for even offers adoption benefits so that will help with the cost, although I have no clue what that would be either.. So I'm hoping to find someone here with a little knowlege on the subject.. I'm also hoping that being single Isn't gonna be a big factor in preventing me from adopting..

Thank you for your time and hope to hear from ya! I was adopted as well and I only want to give a child a better chance in life like I was fortunate enough to have...

I am half white and half black. The man who is the father of the child is black. When people are looking to adopt - are they hoping for a baby that resembles them? or do they just want a baby?
Anyone adopt outside of their race (besides Angelina Jolie)? Is it common? I am not educated on the subject.
I do not want to have an abortion and the father doesn't want to be a father. I am financially struggeling with two kids already & their dad is very actively involved. I don't know if mentally - i would be setting this child up for 'issues' when his/her father never came around and my other kids dad does (regularly).

I am not sure yet what I am doing... but wanted some "NICE" opinions. don't be all judging me because i goofed up - i was on the pill (we should have been using condoms too - but oops)

I've been adopted since I was a few weeks old. I'm 17 now. The reason why my biological gave me up was because my biological dad left her when she was pregnant and didn't want anything to do us... he left her with money problems and she couldn't afford to look after me. A lot of people critise women like her, and say they don't take resonsabiltiy for what's theirs, and that they're been selfish. It's not easy for any woman to give their child up for adoption, and I believe she was been anything but selfish, as she put her personal feelings aside so i could have a better life. I'm gratefull that she did that, because life with my adoptive parents is so much better and stable than life would have ever been with my biological mother. Not just finically, my mum was a housewife while my dad went out to work, so I was raised full time my parent, instead of been handed over to babysitters all the time.

Why do some people think these women are nothing but heatless?

My husbands parents raised 6 children. They have 14 grandchildren and don't pay any attention to any of them. They abused the kids growing up and were horrible parents. They decided to adopt a child and the family is now split becasue some of the siblings took them to court to try to prove they would be unsuitable parents. I don't know how but they got to adopt this child.
They are in their late 50's, in horrible health, no retirement plan, no savings...
HOW DID THEY GET TO ADOPT THIS CHILD? I don't understand.

I have decided to find my bio-parents. My husband wants me to tell my mother that I am searching. I really don't want to. I don't know if I'm even going to find anything. I don't know if it's going to hurt my parents feelings. I just don't know. I would much rather keep it to myself until I know that I have found her and know that I want to make contact with her. My husband has told me that if I do not tell my mother that he is going to. At this point I pretty much want to kick him in the face. It's stressful enough just making the decision to search and I don't need this on top of everything else. How can I make him understand that I don't want my mom to know right now?

I had always thought of embryo adoption as an anonymous donation from a donors where both sides would never know anything about the other, however, now in many cases it's treated as any other adoption where a homestudy is completed, and a couple with remaining frozen embryos chooses the family that will "adopt" them.
Here's a link to better explain how it works.
http://www.embryodonation.org/adoption.html

Do you think this is a better way of handling this then just "donating" them to a random couple? Do you think this is better, worse or the same then traditional adoption of an infant? Will these children have any of the same issues that a child who is "traditionally" adopted may have? If you were born under these curcumstances, do you think you would still cansider yourself "adopted" even though the "adoptive" mother is the one who carried you and gave birth to you? How

I look forward to hearing opinions on this, I'm not quite sure how to answer some of those questions myself

a. Would you rather be poor and stay with your birthmm, it might be that you have walk to class, wear people hand me downs..
b. Would you rather be adopted into a wealthy family, without ever knowing your birth parents, but you can have whatever you want?

I know this question is pretty much black and white, and real life adoption is probably different, the reason I want to ask this question is because of adoptees' answer on my previous question, many of those people would actually prefer not being adopted when they're young

Pope John Paul II said when asked about abortion..."why shouldn't the church of Christ protect those humans who are the most innocent and most helpless".
There are loving people out there who want to adopt a baby.

Me & hubby are thinking about possibly adopting a child, not just yet but I feel like we have a great stable home, my hubby has a stable job but will be applying to join the Police force next year. We don't drink or do drugs & are nice normal people. My hubby's background is almost perfect except when he was a radio dj some listeners called in claiming to be 18yr old girls.My hubby & his friend both flirted & they started writing letters to each other.The letters were of a sexual nature in some parts & my hubby & his friend had a visit from the police as it turned out the girls were only 15yrs old & their parents found the letters.My hubby was questioned but no further action as he was telling the truth & the girls apolagised to him. Would this go against him?

Would you have more empathy for a person who lost their mother, say in childbirth, and was then raised by different people than is generally shown to people who were adopted as children?

I have a sister that has 3 kids, and is in bad shape. I want to help her, and would like to propose that I would adopt her 2 small kids so she can get ahead in life easier, at the same time allowing her to keep in touch with the kids, 2 an 8 months old. She had 2 abusive marriages, and is in the process of breaking away from the last one. I see it as a win-win situation... but I am concerned about emotional issues. She's in a different country, and adoption seems like the best idea, so far. Her other child is old enough to take care of herself pretty much, although still a minor. What do you think? I want to offer those kids and my sister a better life. So far I can't bring her here, but I might be able to bring the kids that way.

My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 5 years now. After 2 miscarriages and month after month of disappointment, I am seriously considering adoption. I have done some research and am actually quite excited at the prospect of adopting. The problem is, my husband is not at all interested. Everytime I bring it up he just says, "I don't think I could adopt". He doesn't want to talk about it and keeps saying he wants us to keep trying to conceive for another year. I am 37. I don't want to give up on TTC but I would like to start the process of adoption knowing it could take up to 2 years.

Any advice on how I could get my husband to be more open to this? I have given him info on common myths about adoption, but that didn't seem to help. I think he is just really set on having OUR baby, which would be great, but I can't imagine life without having a child at all and I feel if we don't start looking into adoption, that could be the case.

My husband and I are considering adoption, but I am concerned that my health history will be an issue. I don't have anything majorly wrong with me, but I did suffer a stroke for unknown reasons in my early 20s. I do not have any deficiencies from the stroke at all. Recently they found elevated levels of anticardiolipin antibodies in me, which *may* have accounted for my stroke, but a lot of healthy people have high levels of these antibodies as well, and my elevated level could be transient (we will check my blood again at the end of the month to see).
It has been over 8 years since my stroke, but when people hear 'stroke' they think you have one foot in the grave already. I know the insurance companies see it that way.
Do you think this will be a major issue that will keep us from being able to adopt? I can have a baby of my own, but it would be considered high risk.
