Lezlea	Posted: Dec 22, 2004 05:13:32 PM I am a single, female who has been trying to adopt a set of triplets, who presently live in Pa., but have met some form of stumbling block most of the time. I have even tried to get a loan from the National adoption Foundation to help thingks move along more quickly. I would love to hear any suggests youy of you might have had along these lines as this will be the 3rd Christmas I will spend without children. I felt my heart go out to these children the moment I saw them and has grown stronger day by day. Please, someone offer me some workable suggestions. I am even willing to move to Pa., if that will help, but I haven't heard from their social worker on that idea. I am not looking for an infant and I know there are many caucasain siblings out there who need a "forever" home and family. Please, soomeone help me. Respectfully yours, lezlea

Building a Solid Support System

Sometimes, when an unplanned pregnancy happens, your loved ones may not come supportively to your side, as you had perhaps hoped for or envisioned. In fact, sometimes their reactions are the complete opposite, even hurtful.

For those considering adoption, the decision-making process can be especially fraught with opinions … coming from everyone and everywhere. Interestingly, you will find those with the strongest opinions about adoption are those that know the least about it!

If you, in your quest to do what is best for your baby, are leaning towards adoption instead of abortion or parenting (if you feel you cannot provide like you dream of one day doing), realize that there are millions of people out there who do believe in adoption as one of the most loving and selfless decisions a woman facing unexpected pregnancy can make.

Even still, only you know what is right for your baby. During this decision-making period, it is important you surround yourself with people who are ready and willing to support you through whatever your ultimate decision.
