I'm sorry to hear about the biological father. I can only imagine how hard it must be. Giving birth is the most precious gift from the lord. Grant it that we all need help in doing it on our own. My husband and I would be delighted to help you out in anyway that we can. We would love to adopt a child and better yet twins. My husband doesnt have any of his own and that would be the greatest day of his life to be able to have a child call him daddy. We would love for you to still be a part of the childrens life as much as possible. We would send you pictures every time we got them taking, invite you to come to our family reunions, anything you could imagine. We would be willin to keep you involved with the children. So please give us the chance that your childrens biological father never had the chance to do. If you are interested then email me at snowwite43812@yahoo.com.

Hi, I am a birth mother too. Right now I am pregnant and going through the whole process. I can empathize as I too find myself alone in this process (except for my truly wonderful counselor). All though our situations are slightly different we have similarites. So if you need a helping hand or a sympathetic ear, email me. I just turned twenty and got pregnant at nineteen. With no job, or resources and then I had to leave my family home. I don't have any support except for Laurie (my wonderful counselor here at American Adoptions). I urge you to get in contact with them if you already haven't. The SOONER THE BETTER. Good luck. Vaya con dios.

If you have decided that adoption is the right thing for your babies, there will be a loving family wanting and praying for them. In fact, my husband and I have decided that if/when we are ready to adopt, a bi-racial set of twins would be the perfect additon to our family. So, I am sure that there are adoption-ready families who would be overjoyed to be selected by you. By the way, we have been considering adding to our family through adoption for about a year and have been monitoring several different agencies' websites to decide which one is the right one for us -- American Adoptions is by far the most responsive and thorough that I have come across. I am sure you will get great help from their counselors. Good luck with your decisions, I will keep you in my prayers! M.J.

Hi Anonymous, I am not sure if my original note ever got submitted so thought I would write again. First of all let me say we are truley sorry to hear about your babies birth father dying. If you haven't already pick an adoption agency I would like to recommend American Adoptions. They have a great Birth Mothers program. They have a very good support system and I believe they are available 24/7 for counciling. Please give them a call. I can't speak for all adoptive families, but I know that my husband Marlin and I would be interested in adopting twins. I am an identical twin and would look forward to raising twins. My husband and I are both Caucasion, however we have shown in our profile that we would like to adopt children of any race. We know that we can give the babies the love, nurturing and financial support they need. We have one child already who is 4 1/2 yrs old and is so looking to have some siblings. Our families are excited about us adopting and would welcome babies of any race. I have several cousins who have had the opportunity to adopt bi-racial children and all of those children have been a joy to our family. We are signed up with American Adoptions already and you can certainly look at our profile. The three of you will be in our thoughts and prayers as you make some difficult but important decisions for your babies. We admire what you are willing to do to make sure your babies have the life you want them to have. Take care Ilene

Hi Anonymous, I guess I hit the submit key before I was ready to finish. My husband and I are willing to adopt children of any race and we know that we can give love and support to any children regardless of their race. Most of all we would like you to know that are thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue in your pregnancy and as you continue to make decisions that will not necessarily be easy ones.

I'm 16 years old and found out that I am pregnant. Kicked out of the house, I decided to raise my baby on my own with the babies birthfather. A week after I was informed that I was having twins, the father was hit by a dtrunk driver and died instantly. I've decided to give the twins up, not being able to give them the life I feel they deserve. I was just wondering how do adoptive parents feel about multiples? and what about babies that are mixed? (African-American and white).
