Hello, we're looking to adopt and I really want to do an open adoption, however, it always varies with the birth mom on what she feels is right for her.

We just arrived home with a beautiful baby girl today and let me urge you look into an open adoption, we were blessed to be matched with a birthmom that was looking for the exact kind of future contact that you were describing. We are so excited that our little girl will have the chance to visit and get to know her birthmom. Best of all she has a huge family now and will be blessed with having them all in her life! Best of luck to you on your journey.

Shan,
I was in a situation some what like yours. I had a 18 and a 16 year old girls when I found out that I was pregant. I also could not keep the baby for personal conflict with my husband and children, they did not want any more children or a baby sister around. American Adoption was wonderful in helping me find a family and they let me choose how much contact I wanted with the adopting family. I receive lots of pictures and letters from the adopted parents and when every I want to send them something I know that they will receive it. If you need someone to talk to you can email me at kshrader2001@yahoo.com Kitty I found a really good friend over the internet who really helped me I could email her with any questions I had after it was all over with and everyone went back to their own life like nothing happen.

I am a divorced mom of three children, aged2,3,5. I am pregnant now, and considering adoption. Dont get me wrong, I want the baby. But not under my present circumstances. I am just having trouble with the idea of giving my baby up and that being that. I think for me to be able to do this, I would want to be involved in the childs life somehow. As a friend of the family somewhat...I would want to see the child occasionally, and have pictures and updates from the parents. I could never just hand by baby over and walk away. I think that is what I am having such a hard time dealing with. Is this done this way? Any thoughts?
