Does anyone know anything about adoption from first hand experience ?

Question

Hi again, I guess I should have reiterated that this question is not about me letting someone else adopt my child but rather me adopting someone elses child. I have raised 2 wonderful kids as a single mom and would like to give the same to another child or 2.

Answer 1

Yes I am a birthmother what would you like to know feel free to contact me thru messanger or e-mail

Answer 2

I am a single mom of a 2yr old daughter who I adopted from India. I can't think of an experience in my life which has been better than becoming the parent of my amazing little girl - even as a single mom.

I am inspired by you that you have already raised 2 kids as a single mom and are ready to adopt more! I also have been considering adopting a second child as a single mom. Adopting my daughter has been the single most-incredible blessing in my life. Even though adopting a second child as a single mom would be challenging, I have found that I love being a parent to my daughter so much, that passing on that love to another child is something I dream about every day.

I can't say enough about adoption as a wonderful way of forming a family. Though it's challenging, and not everyone's path, I am very happy I chose this way of becoming a mom.

Answer 3

Yes, I do. It is a very hard and yet unselfish decision. Yet, it may very well be the best choice you could make for your child.

Here are the question I asked myself.
Can I take care of this child without State help...ex: WIC, AFDC?

How will being a Mother chance my life? Will I give up everything I want for this child?

Being a Mother is very hard young lady. I was 32 when I put my son up for adoption. My daughter was only one year old when I became pregnant again. I was scared to death. I knew I couldn't take care of two of us alone, not to mention three mouths to feed. Men don't look at a woman the same way...if you have children, that is one look. If you don't, there is a better chance to capturing his heart. "The Baggage Thing" you dig? My son is now 13 years old, In 5 years he will be given all the information about my daughter and myself. Every year I get pictures of him, letters from his parents, and I feel safe that he is loved and well taken care of. I know this first hand........My son wanted for nothing in his life. Had what he needed and was never hungry, or without a roof over his head. You never know what life has in store for you, but when you have gotten to the point in you life when you have a home, security and someone who loves you dearly, that is the time to bring a child into your life and give it all the love you have.

Answer 4

My aunt adopted two little boys from a cocaine addicted mother... but I haven't had any personal experience with it. I think it's a really great thing to do though. To give a child with no parents or a bad life a loving home and family is really rewarding.

Answer 5

Full family spectrum here...lol My grandmother adopted my two uncles and I placed my son for adoption when I was 19, so I asked them their perspectives when I was pregnant and thinking about placing him. My grandmother loved her two adopted sons every bit as much as her "natural" son, my father, and said that she couldn't imagine having not raised them. My uncles are both content that this IS their family and have never had any desire to look for their birth mothers. From my perspective, it's a difficult thing to go through, placing a child for adoption, and I'd not repeat it for any reason, but I also look at it as a blessing I helped create. I helped to make a family whole. In seven or more years, I do hope to find out my son's perspective, but if he chooses not to meet me, I'll handle that, too. In that, maybe I'll know he was perfectly content to be who he is.

Answer 6

I am an Adoptive Mom seeking to adopt again and my father was adopted.
