It's sounds as though my friend is pragnant. (the dda doesn't know)Luckily, she is dating the father and they do live together. The problem is neither she or him have a job. In fact, she's going to a community college, and needs to take the public bus their, since she has no car. She said she doesn't want ever to give a baby up for adpotion. It is against are religion for abortion (which we don't think is right anyway), another thing along are religion is birth control, but I think that's an excuse since she was on it before with one of her exs. (when i get married I'm going on it) That is another thing, they aren't married. They've been together 5 months this time, but dated longer a couple years ago. I think they maybe a good couple, but isn't a baby a diiferent story? How much do kids cost? Will my friend have to drop out of school? It's hard to find a job around we all live, and like I said, she doesn't have a car, and of coarse with no job. can't afford one. What should she do

To find out if she is pg she could go to the health department and get tested. It is free. To get medical help (paying for visits and things) go to the DHS office and apply. She could also Apply for food stamps and money assists. But yes babies are VERY EXPENSIVE. But they are worth every penny. Hit the yard sales, take things that are giving to them. Some places have a shelter and they offer help on getting things for them. You don't have to live in the shelter but you have to be an out client. Which means you just have to keep in contact with them from time to time. Some places have programs called even start it is i good program they will help u with the baby and through school. Trust me i know on that one cause i was in high school with my first kid and they helped me through high school and also helped me get my CNA. Just don't give up.

kids are expensive. but theres no need to drop out, Get some state help. they provide medical for her andthe baby since she is pregnant and is free. she can also sign up to recieved cash and food stamps. while shes in school the father can get a job and save for clothes and diapers. also a baby shower is a good way to get lots of free things from family and friends. thers also WIC. you can get baby formula until the baby is 5 yrs old. And some colleges have free day care for students. she should look up into that. it would help until they both get there selfs right.

if you would possibly want to do it as a private adoption, or as a fostercare adoption it's going to be carried out somewhat low-priced. With maximum adoptions the most severe priced section is the business business enterprise that unearths the baby,(in a number of of situations 20-30k) that section is alrady carried out for you. The homestudy will fee $1000-2000 and the criminal professional yet another few thousand. I wouldnt assume it to be more advantageous than 10k on the most. and this is going to take a lengthy time period so the expenditures will be spaced out. If it occurs as a private adoption issues stands proud because the finest. If it occurs as a fostercare adoption, you would possibly want to even get issues alongside with the homestudy paid for, or in part paid for. both way solid success!
