I do not understand. I talked to the social worker that we are working with. There are girls in foster care that are pregnant, and some that have babies. It is hard to place them sometimes, because adoptive parents don't want the responsibility of the mom and baby. Most adoptive parents want to parent the mom and baby. We want to let the mom parent her child. I guess I am glad that we have a social worker that understands. It isn't that we are 'only' looking for this kind of child. We are interested in any age. Being birthmoms that had NO support, therefore made the best choice AT THE TIME, to give up our children, we can relate to a young mom in that position.
I thought this was a supportive place to find ideas about adoption. I had no idea it was such a hateful place at times. There are about 50 people that understand and are supportive for every one that is nasty and suspicious. I guess people that know us know that we are only wanting to help a child.
Think what you want, but I know I am doing what is right for us and a child.
How can this be soo bad? People go into adoption ONLY WANTING a white infant. Look at all the other kids that need homes. We are.
