Adoption Advise?

Question

Any good advice

Answer 1

Understand that if you tell the child they are adopted it's really going to cause them to have some issues.

I was adopted and it's a constant struggle to feel like I'm wanted, even though I know my family loves me more than anything.

Especially with fear of abandonment.

Also know that your child will love you just as much, if not more, than their "biological" parent.

I couldn't imagine life without my family.

Contact a local reputable adoption agency in your area to discuss the different types of adoption available.  You may also want to contact your local Department of Human Services, Children & Youth Division to discuss foster adopt programs in your area.

Make sure that you talk to someone who is knowledgable about the laws in your state to insure that everything is done legally.

Answer 8

Do your research first.  Check out the adoption laws in your state.  Decide if you want to adopt a baby, or an older child.  Then find a well established agency or lawyer who is equipped to help you in your search.  If you do an open adoption make sure that the father is aware of the fact the mother is giving up the baby.  

Good luck!
