| MARY | Posted: Oct 14, 2003 11:35:03 PM AS FAR AS WHERE I RESIDE, NO ONE CAN STOP YOU FROM PLACING YOUR CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION. HOPEFULLY IT'S THE SAME WHERE YOU RESIDE. FIND OUT FIRST AND THEN ALWAYS DO THINGS LEGALLY. AND IF YES, THEN YOU MUST DO WHAT YOU THINK AND FEEL IS RIGHT. LISTEN TO YOURSELF AND HOW YOU FEEL AND WHAT YOU WANT. BECAUSE THERE ARE GOING TO BE POEPLE (PARENTS, FRIENDS ETC.) WHO WILL TRY TO BRING YOU DOWN IN ANYWAY, SHAPE OR FORM BECAUSE OF PLACING A CHILD UP FOR ADOPTION. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE (LIKE MYSELF) WHO ARE LOVING, CARING, HARDWORKING PEOPLE WHO WILL LOVE THAT CHILD UNCONDITIONALLY. SO INFORM YOURSELF FIRST THEN TAKE THE NEXT STEP YOU WANT AND FEEL YOU NEED TO DO. GOOD LUCK. | ||
| Anonymous | Posted: Oct 13, 2003 02:06:06 PM I work for an adoption agency and I can tell you that your parents can not stop your adoption plan, even if you are a minor. However, often times, if your parents are not supportive of your adoption plan they can place an inordinate amount of false guilt onto you. Just keep in mind, their attempts at guilt are just their way of trying to control your actions. What you have to decide is what is best for you and your baby. After all, it will not be your parents who raise this child. Adoption will be your first and most important decision as a parent. I would suggest talking to an adoption counselor who you can trust. Most adoption agencies provide free adoption counseling to mothers facing an unplanned pregnancy. You need someone who is going to stand up for what you want. In the end, you may not choose adoption but you need to make your own decision. | ||
