why cant you keep her?. Giving a baby up for adoption must be the hardest thing in the world to do are you ready for this i would phone the social services and get them to come round and have a chat with you i think your gonna need help with your feelings when the baby is no longer there with you good luck 2 you x x

You have several options.
1. You can call your local adoption agency.
2. You can leave the baby at the hospital and will not be arrested.
3. You can take the baby to the local precinct or church without being any questions asked.
One of these choices should suit you. I personally would say, once you are in the hospital having the baby, Let the doctor know that you are unable to keep him/her and they will make arrangements for the baby. Good luck to you.

The hospital will be able to advise you. Adoption is a good choice. It is too hard being a single mum too hard on you too hard on the child. Remind yourself that this is a life time commitment and do the best thing for both of you. There will be more children in the future when things will be planned and a lot easier. Don't make things hard on yourself now. Goodluck

It's still not to late to make an adoption plan. You can contact an adoption agency or pick adoptive parents through other sources (like online) and work with an adoption attorney to make a private adoption plan. In some states the adoption attorney has profiles of adoptive parents on file and can quickly show you some profiles. Good luck to you!

Happy to hear that you guarded this child's life, took the high road in an incredible way, I admire and respect you for that.
Look up Crises Pregnancy Centers on the net, or some of them have changed the name to Confidence Pregnancy Centers. They helped a friend of mine, even willing to feed and clothe her & the little one as she was alone & very, very young.
They offer trained counselors, and anyone in your shoes needs that support.
They are without charge, and will be a graceful presence of some compassion as they walk by your side through this very difficult time.
Sayin' a prayer for you for guidance and peace, and that you will sense the loving arms of your Creator wrapped around you both right now.
God's blessings on both of you.
EDIT:1-800-NEW_LIFE is also a good resource/lead to appropriate agencies & help in your area, as is 1-800- A FAMILY.

That is all there is. Adoption. Contact your local health department for starters.
Or you could raise the child yourself and be a loving parent. Why do you want to give the baby up? The baby is yours, but you say you CAN'T keep her? Why?

hi im sorry you in such a sad situation....when you attend hospital or doc's for check up tell them you don't want to keep baby and they will put you in touch with nearest agency.....or look it up on web...but your midwife should point you in right direction and by law they must respect your choice so try not to worry but get it sorted sooner rather than later goodluck.....or call social services they take children also
