Answer 3

I am so sorry for your loss.

I completely understand your concerns with finances of adoption.  There are options out there for you though to provide a loving home to a child without high agency fees.  Have you considered foster/adoption?  Many times the fees are reduced or the state provides assistance.  The children in the foster care program truly need permanent loving homes as they have lost their families for whatever reason.  Many people hesitate to consider foster/adoption because they feel that they aren't able to adopt an infant or young child, but that is not true.  I would recommend contacting your county's Dept of Children & Youth for more information.

Getting back to your original question though on how to save money for adoption, we did several things.  First, we let everyone know that we were considering adoption and that it was quite expensive.  My husband's grandmother handed us a check to help defray some of the expenses because she was so excited for us.  Another thing to consider is having a certain amount of your pay directly deposited into a savings account so that you don't feel like you are "saving".  

A few other things to keep in mind when you are adopting, is that not all of the fees are typically due "up front".  Our expenses were spread out over almost two years so it was easier to handle.  There are also county subsidies that are available for adoption, especially if the child has special medical needs - even if you adopt privately or through an agency.  Many people do not know about them, so be sure to ask.  

Good luck to you.

Answer 4

I'm very sorry for your loss.  For me loosing a baby is something that takes time and a lot of work to move beyond.  You won't and shouldn't ever get over it, but you can move on.

I also understand right now you want nothing more than to hold your baby in your arms.  Bringing any child into your home right now is not going to fix that.  You want your child and sadly that's not going to happen.

My suggestion is do what you need to do to move past your grief.  The death of a child is a truely pointless loss, and i'm very sorry.  

Once you have worked through your grief and not being able to carry a child.  I would suggest you get in contact with your local foster agency.  They can help you find a child that needs your love and stability.  They will be able to assist you in what you need to do to bring a child into your home, and which child would do best.  The cost is usually zero to very little to adopt, and you will be able to provide love and stability to a child that wouldn't have it otherwise.

I'm an adoptive mother and I wouldn't ask others to pay for our adoption expenses for the same reason we wouldn't have asked them to pay for our fertility treatments.  It was our personal choice to bring a child into our home, and we didn't feel right asking others to help us do this.

Answer 5

Sorry about your loss, but do you think it's fair to adopt a baby when your health is poor and so is your pocketbook?

There are many other ways to nurture children than playing a role in separating them from their families.

Answer 6

Start a website explaining your situation and how much you need. Attach it to a PayPal account, and start sending the link in emails, and ask people to forward it to everyone they know. Print up flyers and pass them out.

Also, do you belong to a church? I know churches pull together and help people all the time.

Answer 7

I'm so sorry for your loss x

Perhaps Fostering might be an easier option to consider for the time being. my Aunt fosters children and may of them have stayed with her until adulthood and still stay intouch now.

Everyone has the right to have children and if adoption is right for you I would speak to social services to find out what the next steps are. I'm sure there must be some funding available for ppl in your circumstances

Good Luck
