Has any teenager on here ever given a baby up for adoption? If so, what do you look for in adoptive parents. We're going to adopt because we can't conceive. What stands out to a birth mom, what does she look for???

I'm a big because I can't conceive? How is that fair? I'm not a teenager just so you know.

I am a teen mother. I didn't give my son up for adoption. I think teenage parents do not give their children up for adoption because a) their parents don't want them to, b) they abort, or c) they want to keep the child for other reasons.
There are plenty of people (not only teenagers) who give their child up for adoption. It's actually very hard to find an infant in the states because (sadly) they are very expensive and are quickly adopted. I suggest trying to adopt a young child or toddler--if you want a younger kid.
That's not answering the question though! If I was to give my child up for adoption I would look for "good" people. I would want for my child to go to a semi-wealthy family so they can have a good start. I would want to know that the couple was serious and married for quite sometime so I would know they weren't going to get divorced. I would want religious people because obviously the person didn't abort--and is probably religious to a certain degree. I would want someone who was young (under 30 preferably) and healthy. I wouldn't want my child to go to a person who would die easily. I would just want nice, semi-wealthy, committed, religious, healthy, young people. I hope this helps! Best of luck!

I didn't go through this myself, but my friend did in highschool. She obviously wanted a family that was stable, loving and could provide for her child where she knew she could not. She also wanted a Catholic family since she was raised Catholic, and an open adoption where she could see the child if she chose to do so. It was also a bonus that the woman worked with her mom-so she knew she was reliable, and they had a couple kids already (an adopted and a biological) so the new baby would have a family to grow up in. I think everyone is different in what they want for specifics, but if it were me, stability and a loving environment would be top on my list. If you have a picture in mind of how you think an adoption should be, chances are good that there's a girl or five out there who will be willing to trust you with their child. Good luck.

She looks for someone that she has never seen in her life, a teenage mom probably doesn't have a supportive family so she wants someone who is the mom she never had. The perfect mom. Nice clothes, clean hair cut, believe me when they see someone that has a flaw they are very defensive thinking that their baby is to good for the adopties. Just look past the point she is too young to have a baby and think of her as one of your friends. Give her a promise to the father as well, that you'll be there for the doctor appointments because it means so much to you that she is okay and the baby as well. Tell her about your pregnancy story once, they don't like to know that when people in life are not having children because it's a flaw. Just be need to her and stay in touch with her. Show her that you are bending backwards for her

there are some centers when where you can go adopt babies. they are almost like an orphanage but it isn't because the babies aren't born yet. In these centers you can be interviewed by mothers to be that will consider to give you their baby. When interviewing, just be honest and talk about yourself, and DON"Y LIE. Find one of these centers near your home and visit it a few times. you will have a good chance that you will get a baby in a few months after using this method.
