Answer 1

Hi there, how are you doing? I sincerely hope that you and your family are doing well. Please try and be as strong as you can be when you read your responses. There are some people who will be very critical and hurtful. Stay strong in your convictions and know exactly what your intentions are.

My son's birthmom and I met on the internet, we decided to do a private direct placement, saving a tonne of money and that was put into a Registered Education Savings Plan for my boy. People also have some concerns about meeing potential birth moms and families via the net. I never had any concerns. Of course there were people that I spoke with who weren't honest or direct, but when I met Jessica we both felt that it was right. Also, people who adopt, even if it is a direct placement without agency involvement have to have a homestudy done, which includes healthy child rearing ideals, a financial section proving, not that you are wealthy, but that you are not over extended and can provide all the needs for the little one, there is also a psychiatric component, as well as child welfare and a criminal clearance. That being said, if both sides are cautious there is no reason for it not to happen. If you are at all leary about it of course there are hundreds of adoption agencies, facilitators and lawyers that can offer services.

I had such a great experience, I am hoping to adopt again and won't hesitate to do it the same way again. If you would like to speak to me, or ask any questions, please feel free to contact me at [e-mail] : )

Answer 2

I'm assuming you are asking HOW to find a loving adoptive family for your child rather then asking someone on this site to adopt the child.

I would definetly contact an adoption agency in your area, and discuss your options. You should be able to choose the adoptive parents, and have some future contact if you wish. Some families search for birthmothers without using an agency,often to avoid the expensive fees, however working with an agency will cost you nothing and will introduce you to the profiles of a variety of families, and offer more security. Also ask if they offer counseling services to birthmother.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide.

Answer 3

Look up adoption in your local yellow pages and give them a ring. They will provide you with a social worker who specialises in adoption. There is no rush to make a decision; in fact I don’t think that you can make a decision for about two months after the baby is born. They will deal with your cases compassionately and without judgement.

Good luck, I really wish you all the best regardless of what you decide to do.

Answer 4

An Adoptions Officer from Social Services is probably the best person to help you sort this.
Prospective adoptive parents are vetted and approved before they are allowed anywhere near a baby.

Answer 5

ummm... I don't want to discourage you from doing your best by your unborn child, however. I really think this is not the best place for this.
Please contact an adoption agency or a family planning center like Planned Parenthood to help you find options for finding the right family.
Take care, I admire the strength and sacrifice it must be costing you to make this decision. I'm sure it will all work out.

Answer 6

yet another determination is performing some learn on line approximately your close by adoption companies. Many will set the completed difficulty up for you. do not bypass everywhere which will fee you cash. And consistently verify with somebody in a criminal vogue to easily remember to are actually not breaking any regulations, like taking presents (seen bribes) from attitude mom and father.

Answer 7

I have to agree with the others on this one, you need to ring a nearby government run or suitable organisation in your area. Internet is not the place.

But I wish you all the very best of luck finding a family for your precious baby.

Answer 8

i would love to adopt a child but the only way you can ensure he or she has a good home is by going through the relevent authoritys you have to inform your midwife and doctor of your intentioms and they will liase through social services to find a suitable parents and home .You cannot offer babys on the internet you must do it legally and by the book

Answer 9

What the hell do you think you are doing offering your child on the internet? Go to the social services and let them handle it. How do you know you are not giving your child to someone who will harm it?

You may think you are being responsible by offering your child a home with someone who will look after it better than you but this is the wrong way to go about it. Be sensible and let the experts deal with the adoption.

Answer 10

This will truly be a blessing to a couple who longs to love a baby such as yours. You may want to post this in the "adoption" section as well, I'm sure you will get quite a response. Not to give your baby away in this forum, but to get advice from people in your situation who can offer connections to the right sources who can help. You also might want to state what city, country, or state you live in so you can get advice from people in that specific area. The only thing I can suggest is if you're in the USA to contact a local Planned Parenthood for guidance. I wish I could offer more information.

Thank you for giving your child a chance to live.

God Bless you and good luck to you.
