Jacquelyn Hoskins	Posted: Apr 19, 2004 11:30:42 PM My eldest brother Jack had a daughter born 12/31 @ year 1982. Her birth name was Monica and her mother's name is Amy. She was born in OK, I believe and her mother took her to California as an infant. A few years later, I guess she remarried and the man adopted Monica. I never met her, nor her Mom. Her Dad was in the Army. She has other half siblings, brother Michael in Germany, brother Uriah (Tommy) in Missouri, and sister Racheal in FL. Would love to locate you and learn about your life.

Living Expenses - Why?

For some adoptive families, the concept of financially assisting their future baby’s birth mother is, at first, hard to fully embrace. You may find yourself wondering why you should be expected to help her pay for her medical or living expenses. This is a completely normal, understandable reaction.

But before you think of a birth mother’s expenses as rightfully hers, consider this: If your baby were inside of you, instead, what would you do?

The birth mother who has chosen you has also made the selfless decision to choose adoption for her child. While the decision to place a child for adoption is as unique as each individual, financial inability to adequately provide for a child is often a major motivation. Through the decision to adopt, some women realize they have the potential to choose for their child the type of life they could only dream of providing.

While babies are unfortunately raised worldwide in less-than-adequate conditions, and many amazing women somehow find the means to do so, it takes resources and access to proper care to provide for a child.

Raising a baby begins long before birth, in utero. In fact, this most critical time of development is more important than perhaps any other point in a child’s life.
