How Can I get fiancial backing ie. raise money to fiancie adopting a child without handicaps or being overage4

Question

hmmm unsure of whether or not I'm a bad canidit for being a parent but I can't be any worse then the many people who have kids and don't want them. I have 5 younger siblings and a lot of younger cousins of whom I have helped raise and influence in one way or another. I gaurentee I'm going to be a better father then 85% of fathers in this world. But how many people can really afford to have a child without giving up a lot in life.

Answer 1

Yeah, I wish I could have gotten some financial backing so I could have KEPT my daughter. Considering I'm a decent mom, and there was really no good reason for me to have to relinquish.

So let's get this straight. The USA pressures women to relinquish their own children because of finances, and most people see nothing wrong with that, but USA adoptive parents EXPECT someone else to help them pay to finance adopting?

HOW DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

I'm fed up. Absolutely fed up.

Answer 2

If you want to adopt bad enough you will be saving your own money for this.  There is no financial backing to do this.  Besides, the child that you are wanting are the most desirable, and would be adopted by people that are financially able to care for them.

Answer 3

You educate yourself as well as possible, work hard at several jobs to make more money, and scrimp and save as much as you can -- just like the rest of us.  Nothing important to you comes easy.  But people don't think twice about putting a down payment on a house or buying a new car but squawk at any adoption fee.  It's about priorities.  If you calculated the insurance payments over time and all costs associated with a pregnancy and delivery, it would be about the same.   So either you are financially able to parent, or not.

I worked for 10 years to put myself through college while working two jobs, then went to graduate school while I continued to work.  Then I worked my up through several jobs in hospitals with long hours.  Eventually, we were ready and able to adopt.  

And, FYI, adopting a child with handicaps or an older child is not a consolation.  It is another way to be a parent.  Obviously you are not qualified for it, but many parents are.  And NO child is "over age" to have loving parents!

Answer 4

Foster care is your best bet. Best wishes.

Answer 5

I hear you.  My husband and I are planning on having a baby "the old fashioned way," as they say ;-)

I'm wondering how I can get some financial backing to make sure all of my medical expenses will be covered.  The waiting and preparation period prior to the baby's arrival will be awfully expensive, even though my husband and I both have insurance through our jobs!  Wow, preliminaries for children, no matter which way you do it, sure cost a lot of money.

Answer 6

If you own a home, you can take out a home equity loan to finance your adoption.  You can also borrow money against your 401K account.  Some banks even give unsecured adoption loans, if you have good credit and can afford the payments.  

Some fund-raising ideas:

Sell stuff on eBay

Have a yard sale

Give up Dunkin Donuts coffee and eating out - you'd be surprised how much you can save!

Ask family members if they will donate to your "adoption fund" instead of giving birthday or Christmas presents.

Good luck!

Answer 7

If you adopt through your state agency, you won't need financial backing.  There are plenty of kids needing good homes.  The adoptions are free.

Answer 8

Research foster adoption.  There are many children in foster care that are in need of a permanent loving home.  Contact your local Department of Human Services Children & Youth Division to find out more.  There are subsidies available through them to assist with some of the fees also.  

Good luck.

Answer 9

people do not get paid to adopt a child

it costs you money to adopt a child (up to $40000.00 here in the us)

Answer 10

Boy, am I glad my adoptive parents were college educated.  At least they could help me with my homework.  

How about getting an education and a decent career to raise money?

Answer 11

get a job and save save save

Answer 12

You know I really wish I could find some financial backing for a first class trip to Paris, minimum two week stay at the Ritz hotel, preferably in the Coco Chanel suite.

Adopters already get a tax credit, and you want more handouts?

If raising someone else's child is that important to you, then you should have no problems finding a 2nd or 3rd job to finance such plans.

Answer 13

Lets see, you can't spell or write a proper sentence. Apparently you're broke and you want a young child without "handicaps." Obviously you don't know enough about adoption to realize that being separated from one's mother, family and heritage in itself is handicapping. Research the primal wound.

Right now you seem like a poor canidate for adopting. Who would entrust you with their child?  There's a lot of competition especially for the young and "healthy."

Answer 14

You're correct--most people CAN'T afford to be a parent without giving up a lot in life, whether they have their own or adopt.  So the question is, what are you willing to give up?  Why not give up your vision of the ideal healthy infant?  Why can't you "settle" for an older or less "perfect" child who really needs a home and family?  

What on earth makes you think anyone but you should supply the cash outlay for your adoption in the first place?  And whatever became of the notion that adoption should be about the best interests of the child?
