Kelly thanks for your reply I haven't choose a family yet because everyone that has been sent to me seems special. I tried to look for your profile on this site and could not find it. I keep forgetting to ask my adoption specialist. I just wish I had my support than just my adoption specialist. It seems each month the further along in my pregnancy that I get I lose more support. I just have a upset feeling in the long run I will lose Lorie to (a.k.a. my adoption specialist). And usually each time I have a feeling they are never wrong. I just won't my son to be raised in a loving home with a mommy and a daddy. Is that wrong to ask for?? Kelly me e-mail address is huff2goodatsports2003@yahoo.com feel free to e-mail me anytime.

Heather, My prayers are with you. My husband and I would love to be adoptive parents. We can not have a child of our own. It is crazy how this world works isnt it... you want to find the perfect family for you baby and we want to find a baby for our family. I know that so many people out there wanting a child. There are times I think nobody wants a child more than us, and I am sure they all feel that way too. It kills me inside everytime I find out one of my friends or family members are going to have a baby. I have 6 people that are very close friends and family members that are all pregnant now and 4 more that just had babies. I wish so badly that could be us, but its not. Maybe someday we will be chosen to adopt a child and help someone just like you. What a blessing that would truely be. I wish you luck in your search dear. If you ever want to talk please email me @ kellyjo@hotmail.com because I would love to help you in anyway I could. God Bless You, Kelly

Wow....this is the first time I have looked at an adoption website. I always thought that putting a child up for adoption would be the hardest thing in the world to do, and I couldn't do it, so I feel for you ladies. I would adopt in a heart beat though and a child given through adoption is such a huge, amazing, heartfelt gift. Just remember that when you are considering putting your child up for adoption. That child will be SO completely loved. I have a 7 year old now, and I am 42. We will probablt try for another, but who knows, some day we may adopt. I am a Licensed Child Care Provider, so I am will kids all day - I love them!

I am placing my unborn son up for adoption with the only suppport system that I have (my manager and second mom). I to do not have the support of my family due to the fact that I would not have an abortion. I was with my ex-fiance for 4 hateful years. He was in the military and away from home. When I told him of our pregnancy he decided we should only be friends. He was for adoption, then he wasn't, and now he doesn't want anything to do with it. His parents blame me for his dishonorable discharge from the military. So now all the decisions I have to make are with the help of my second mom and my wonderful adoption specialist Laurie Walker. My ex was pyhsically,and emotionally abusive. Mentally he couldn't do it. My parents saw how he was and forced for abortion. But I couldn't abort a life that god had created. I wanted to give another women, another couple the chance to have a family. To have the oppurtnity to hear the words mommy, and daddy.

I admire you. For having the strength to make such a hard choice. I got on this website because we want to be adoptive parents to foster children and I wanted to see how birth mothers deal with such a hard decision. When we adopt other children I want to be able to share with them how birth mother felt about their heart wrenching decision, so I know better how to comfort them when asking. I was a single mom with my first born. I remember that it was a tough job. We were lucky and made it through. Now that I have been married 13 years, together 15 years I look back and wonder how did I do it. You have your lives to lead, It is your life, follow your heart and do what you feel is best for you and your baby. Don't let anyone tell you your destiny---it's your destiny. There are so many families waiting to have children, and you can be the key to fulfilling their dreams. Remember its your life. God Bless you. If you need to talk--email me.

I am deciding to put this baby that i am carrying up for adoption. I don't have to money for another baby in my life not right now many be in the near future. Me and the father we was suppose to get married and start a family but he was cheating on me and was hiding it and klieing in my face all the time and he don't have time for me no more. I have a little girl who about to be two on Oct the 17. Me job only pay for me and her. But my family don't know what i am thinking right only my sister and she said keep it but i can't keep it. I am due in Jan but it is hard finding a adopt family. What should i do right now? Would i come back and find my baby later?

I read your post, and although am on the other end of adoption....I sympathize with your tough choice. This might not mean much, but I really admire you for making the choices that have made. Being in a bad situation is hard enough without your family behind you. You sound like a brave and smart lady.

I, like many others have found myself in the predicament of having an unwanted pregnancy. I already have a four year old daughter, and this baby I'm carrying has the same father. We were engaged to be married but had some problems, he was very controlling and abusive. So in order to free my daughter and myself of this life of misery; I left him. Due to pregnancy-induced sickness I lost my job, and was forced to move in with relatives and work for minimum wage. Anyway, knowing that the father and I would not be together and my current financial situation, I thought it would be in my childrens' best interests that I placed the baby for adoption. Boy, this did not go over well with the family. They all know of the father's abusive past, and they accept and are supportive of my choice to leave him. I just can't understand why they are not as supportive about my choice for adoption. Is anyone else going through this?
