Hi Ladies, thought i might post a new thread to introduce myself.
I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and my partner and I have decided that placing our child will be the best for both the child and ourselves. This was an unplanned pregnancy as i was on injection (depo provera) and we used protection.
We both feel we are not ready to parent a child, as we ourselves still have a lot of growing up to do, we are also financially unstable and will not be able to provide the child the essentials. We want to bless another couple with a child who cannot have one of their own.
When we found out i was pregnant i was around 7-8 weeks along and still had the opportunity to seek termination of the pregnancy. We decided that this act would have been selfish to the child and to couples around the world who have problems conceiving, so decided to look into adoption.
Next week we will be visiting Child, youth and family the orgnisation in New Zealand that handles all adoptions. From there we will meet with a social worker and they will help us in every step of the way. We will be seeking an open adoption as we still would like to be involved in the childs life in some way or another, even if it is minimal.
