Is it hard to find someone to adopt a child?

Question

I'm just wondering. Not standing as pro life or pro choice here because God knows people flip out if you don't agree with them rather than stating their opinion nicely. I'm just wondering how hard it is to find a couple to adopt your baby if you decide it's not in your best interest to raise one at the moment. Really I'm not dissing the people who choose to abort, I honestly don't understand the adoption process and how difficult it might be to actually find someone to place a baby with.

Ok have a nice day.

Answer 1

I don't think its hard. There are thousand of couples out there looking for babies.  You can look up different agencies online, and on most of them, you can do a search for families who have been approved but are still waiting to adopt.

Answer 2

Go check you e-mail.  You probably have several requests from hungry adopters.

Answer 4

If your looking to place your baby for adoption it's very simple. But please do your research & your homework.

If you are looking to adopt a baby, it's much harder. There are approx 40 couples waiting for every baby being placed.

Answer 5

With a private adoption agency, people are lined up out the door waiting for a baby, through the state, especially a baby who was taken from the mother, years if ever!!

Answer 6

There are many, many  "waiting families" looking to adopt an infant.  I would not go so far to say that if a pregnant woman was looking to place her child for adoption, she would have a great number of choices of adoptive families.

Most US adoptions in this manner allow a birthmother to choose the adoptive family.  There is some criticism about this, but it's how the process works at this point.

Answer 7

Hi Amanda,

No, it is not difficult to find adoptive parents.  Personally, I prefer that to abortion.  But---I'm not having any more children and I refuse to tell another woman how she should handle her problem.  You sound like a very nice girl and I just want to let you know it's okay to take a stand if you have one.  My problem is, I'm both pro life and pro choice.  Please don't allow someone else's rude opinion keep you from expressing yours.  You can't have a democracy if people are afraid or intimidated from expressing their  opinions.

Answer 8

Hi Amanda...although emotionally it is not easy, logistically it is very easy to find someone to adopt a baby. There are several private agencies that have many couples looking to adopt.

If this is a situation that you are in, I will let you know that my husband and I are wanting to adopt. We have a completed homestudy with a reputable agency.  If you would like more info you may email me privately. Thanks.

Answer 9

I know alot of people who are tryin to adopt now but its hard to find a mother willin to giver her child up to adoption instead of tryin to raise them on there own. One couple has had a mother back out like 3 times now. So I dont think its hard to find someone to adopt your child but its harder to find a child that you can adopt. A few have turned to international adoption as a last resort.

Answer 10

No its not I actually know  a couple right now waiting to adopt.

Answer 11

there are so Meany people out there who can not have kids . and can offer a happy home . i was adopted when i was small and had a good life . now I'm looking to adopt . good luck with every thing .

Answer 12

It can be hard,but it can happen. There are many family's waiting to adopt children. And don't think for ah second that people want to adopt white baby's more then black baby's,because there are baby's of all races that go up for adoption or are adopted on ah regular basis.

If you need info and help with adoption on both sides of the table,i suggest you contact your local adoption agency,they have all the info you need. Good luck.

Answer 13

It can be.

In the USA, people would rather adopt white babies than black babies.

Answer 14

Not very hard at all, unless the baby has a disabilty.  I was  adopted as an infant and my parents were in the adoption process for 4 years before they found a child (me!)  for them.  Especially considering that more people tend to choose abortion over adoption these days.
