Hi, We are also looking to adopt and would love to be of some help to you. Adoption is a roller coaster ride and can be very scary. Please know we will be praying for you.

We are also hoping to adopt and have been working with a wonderful lawyer who has been very helpful. I know this must be a very difficult time for you and there are many people who can guide you through this in making the right decision for you and your baby. God Bless!

Hi Jennifer,
What a beautiful part of your young life, to have a wee one at home with you. I know it can be scarey ~ I was there about 30 years ago! Things do work out for the best, I can promise you this. I now have a beautiful 20 year old, 18 yr old and 16 yr old, not only due to my perserverance, but the love and help of friends and family. Your decision is a hard one, and this mother's heart goes out to you ~wishing I could wrap you and your little one in love. Just know that what ever you decide, you will be making a truly mature and selfless decision, based on what is best for your baby at that time and place, whether it is allowing someone else to nuture him/her or whether you decide only your love will do. If you need some heartfelt encouragement, please feel free to email me. You will be in my prayers. d.eriksson@comcast.net

I know how you feel--I was unmarried and pregnant before. It worked out for me with very hard determination. My son now just started college, I can't believe 18 years flew by. I kept him, and it was tough at times. I can help you with any questions, or just to talk. I got married when he was 3. I feel for you for this tough decision--God Bless

My husband and I are actually looking to adopt a child. I worked in a daycare for 10 years and have two boys of our own now. We would like to welcome a little bundle to add to our family. Even if you are not ready to make the decision, I am a great sounding board and would be there for you if you just need someone to talk too.

This must be a difficult time for you. There are many mothers on here that have been or are in the same position your are now. We are all hear to listen and support you. Follow your heart. There are also many agencies that have the proper people there for you to talk too, explain all your options and let you make the best decision for you and your baby.
