This is a great place tofind an adoptive family for your baby.You can do an indapendant adoption.It just you and the adoptive parents in the adoptin and an attorny does all the legail stuff.The adoptive parents parents pay for the attorny.You make all the choices and everything is done basicly you way.

I highly recommend contacting a local reputable adoption agency or adoption attorney.  I agree with the previous answers that indicate without some type of "intervention" by the court or an agency, the adoption would be considered invalid.

Adoption agencies are also able to help provide you with unlimited support now and/or in the future.  Some agencies will process an "open" adoption for you if you have an interest in knowing more about the child on a regular basis.  These are things that maybe are not important to you now, but you could possibly change your mind once the child is born.  That is why it is so important for you to have all of the information that you need to make this decision before you do.

Good luck to you.

It depends on your location, Try your phone book.

I was 15 and pregnant gave birth to a girl at 16 years old and gave her to a couple that I met and spent time with during my pregnancy. It was my only option because my parents kicked me out and I had nowhere to go. Even though I know it was the only thing to do, I wish I had just had an abortion very early on, because it was so long ago and i still wake up with nightmares hearing her crying and not being able to comfort her.

You can try different web sites under adoption. You don't have to go through a agency but you will need to have a attorney do paper work .

What stat are you in?

Wow - good luck with finding a nice non-traditional family to adopt your child. I think g*y guys would be more upbeat and inspirational to a new child.

Just a note; we have too many people on this planet now - and you can get free or at cost birth control at a family planning clinic - please try this option next.

Good luck.

I am a parent of three wonderful children. I give you so much credit for doing the right thing for your baby. This had to be a hard to make up your mind. Good Luck..

First of all you dont get to choose who your baby goes to if you give it up. it has to be anonymous because the baby and the adoptive parent have just as much right to be rid of you for life as you want rid of them.

What were you doing 5 months ago that you coudn't take a precaution?.  its not like we're in some third world country for god's sake. take a pill or keep your pants on.

Bi the way  I am g*y and as much as I hate the law as it is. people like you who want to circumvent it at the risk of the child make me ill. What do you know about judging character for adoption?  what about the childs medical needs?. how will you see to it that his medical history is provided to him? thats what agencies do.

you have to use an agency and a lawyer or its selling your child and its not legal. You can hook up with an agency and those who are already looking for a baby that are registered with the agency will pay for all the legal fee's and even for the cost of the birth of the child and your medical. If you do not want to keep the child I think its a very brave and responsible way to go. I would start with Planned Pregnancy and go from there.. They can work with you and help you thru all of this.

I went through A Link Adoption. Its a non profit christian matching place that helps moms like us find adoptive parents for our children. They are non profit so it doesnt charge the adoptive parents tons of money. They took really good care of me my whole pregnancy and helped me match with some really great adoptive parents for my son. To this day I still have contact with them and Im happy they were there for me. Good luck to you. You are a very brave lady.

God blessed you with this precious baby and you want to give it up for adoption. Look, how would you feel if your mother put you up for adoption? Don't give the baby away from it's mother. He/She will feel like it wasn't loved be you at all. It will start to wonder why you let it live if you don't even want it. While the years do by you will course the day you gave your precious baby up for adoption. It will change your life if you keep your baby. Why let it live if you don't want it. I know woman who really wished they could turn back time to have their baby in their arms again. And I don't want you or any other woman to feel like that, because a baby deserves to be with their parents. Think about it. God is giving you an opportunity through that baby that you are giving life to. Don't give it up for adoption, please, trust me.

you need to contact an adoption lawyer first, any adoption done without a lawyer involved is not valid

You can look at the profiles at Independent Adoption Center http://www.adoptionhelp.org/

Parent Profiles is the largest, but they discriminate again homosexual adoptive couples. You can look anyway at http://www.parentprofiles.com

You chose an AA avatar, so assuming you are AA you may want to look at PACT http://www.pactadopt.org/ lots of info for you to consider when thinking about placing and I believe can put you in touch with couples

Also look at Brenda Romanchik's page, http://www.openadoptioninsight.org for information on how best to protect your rights and your child.

Also, do not discount networking through family and friends. My son's first mom found us by asking all her friends and family to search for couples who met her criteria.

No matter what you will want your own attorney and to see a counselor so check with your state's or county's social services to see about a legal aide attorney, or someone who will do pro bono work or bill the adoptive family if/when you get to that point, and a therapist specializing in adoption.

Best of Luck!
