While I agree - you are not responsible for her financial situation and you do need to consider ALL of the circumstances (including financial) prior to making a commitment...you also need to consider that circumstances change.

People with the most chaotic lives settle down.

People with the most settled lives spiral out of control.

While all you can do is make your decision based on what is going on now…keep in mind, this is only a snapshot of a lifetime.

Remember also – not that I support the expense involved in adoption at all – that most women considering an adoption plan for their unborn child are not in a sound financial position to start with. Many women place because parenting is not financially feasible, so consider that most any situation you come across.

I wanted to offer a differing view – because I know that adoptive parents are often required to make the most difficult decisions with a minimum amount of information.

You can have a successful open adoption with just about anyone, as long as the boundaries and guidelines are clearly outlined for everyone and the lines of communication are clear and open.
