adopted a baby from my cousin also
Hi, i saw your message and got so excited. We adopted our daughter 2 years ago from my cousin on my dad's side. Here is our story; My husband and I had tried to conceive for 3 years and was at the time in the middle of doing inseminations and injections. My last insemination did not work and we were waiting on invitro in a month and got the call from my uncle. He said that his daughter was pregnant and he had just found out, and had talked to her and she did not want to keep the baby. He asked us if we would consider adopting the baby. We were shocked. She had tried to get an abortion and was too far along. Thank god !!!! Anyway we talked to her and decided to do it. She was in high school and need help getting to dr. appt and help with money too. We kind of took her in. She stayed with us alot and we really grew to love her. I really didn't know her that well because she was adopted out of our family as a little girl. HEr dad gave up rights and let her stepdad adopt her. Her stepdad ended up in jail for sexually abusing her. She had alot of problems after that so her mom called her father(my uncle) to take her back. He did. Its a long story but she gave birth and her mother and family was there and very against it. I got to be in the delivery room with her and her mom. I had been to all dr. appt and us appt. She signed the papers and left the next day. We stayed with our baby until she left the hospital. We had a lawyer all the way through to guide us and to take care of the fathers' rights, which he signed away without any problem. Write me if you want to know more, but we have had a very positive experience and are very glad each day we did this and ecspecially when we see where she would have lived and the life she would have had. Her birthmom just got arrested for public intoxication! We are ecstatic that we have her. It was a blessing from god and we do believe that she was meant to be ours. I forgot to add that we also have a 1 year old son, which we got pregnant with 1 month after we adopted our daughter. Weird huh! Talk about blessed..
