If u found an infant on your doorstep would u adopt it or call social services?

Question

some people would consider an event like that destiny thats why i asked this question

Answer 1

i would call cps because u have to but i would want to adopt the baby to

Answer 2

I wouldn't want it.

Answer 3

lol, you cannot adopt a child left on your doorstep. How would you explain that on the adoption paperwork??

Answer 4

You have to call the police.  Keeping a found child is considered kidnapping.

Answer 5

I would call SS, and volinteer to take care of the child until the parents are found or the adoption can be arranged.  

Make sure you want to keep the child for now at least, Make sure you insist and dont give up the child until you have to.  

Do some research online about your states Laws.

Good luck, Scarry that some one would do that to an infant.

Answer 6

i would call someone for sure, and if it didnt have a home i would take care of it until i knew that he or she would be placed somewhere where they would be taken good care of.

i have 3 children already and depending on the circumstances i would consider adoption.

Answer 7

this is a completely genuine story, i had just given birth to my son he was 2 weeks old and i was walking down the the local shop to get some juice while my hubby was watching my son, i walked down to the shop and i noticed a pram out side i looked inside and there was a gorgeous wee baby girl inside, i went into the shop and noticed there was noone else in the shop i asked the shop keeper if anyone had went into the shop recently and noone had been in except for me in a while, i explained there was a baby at the steps outside they asked if i could possibly wait outside with the child to see if anyone came for her, half an hour later the shop had shut, and i was still waiting outside with this baby, she started screaming and crying so i decided to call the police i did and they told me to take the baby to my home and they would send someone out, i took her and fed her, i changed her and played with her, she was roughly the same age as my little boy, it was so sad, i couldnt believe how someone could do that to something so precious, the baby was later adopted when it was revealed that noone had came forwards for her its so sad really, i know that wasnt the answer you were looking for but i thought it was a rather interesting story

my son is now 17 months old lol

Answer 8

I would want to keep it but I would have to see about my husband.  I don't know if it is a destiny thing for me but more like I would feel obligated but in a good way.  I think if I see someone who needs help then I should help them if it is at all possible.  I couldn't just turn the other way just as the parents did.

Answer 9

i would take care of it.  call SS but foster it until you were able to make it legal.

Answer 10

You HAVE to call social services. If the baby is released for adoption, and you qualify, you could then probably adopt it through social services.

Answer 11

i'd call.

if you took that child yourself, you'd have no social security number or birth certificate and the child will be unable to go to school, too many negatives with that.

Answer 12

That would be tough - I'd probably adopt it.
