I'm about to adopt my child

Hello

I'm very new to this I found out 2 months ago that I was 7.5 months pregnant I am almost 8 months now. I had no idea at all and you can't really tell I'm still a size 8.

My partner and I have discussed this with what seems forever of giving my child up for adoption, I'm from the UK so we don't have as many rigfhts as you do in the USA.

Your forum has really helped me and I know I am making the right decision. Although Im 27 financially and emotionally Im really not that ready for that kind of commitment I would rather give my child to a couple who would bring him up loved and stable.

I don't think I will regret my decision at the moment as Ive been feeling very strongly about it most people say you usually feel different after the birth, I doubt very much as Ive nver really had a desire to ever have children only time will tell.

Anyone who has been through or is going through all your comments would be greatly appreciasted.

Crazeee

No one can tell how you are going to feel. I had differnt circumstances and felt great about adoption my whole pregnecy. I didn't feel "ready". Now I miss my son and want him in my arms. I have never felt love like this before. Some say adoption is a loving choice but I thought I was doing it to protect him now I want him by my side and in my sight.

only you will know if the decision is right. Sounds like you have support from your partner and between you make the best choice you can. Your decision is not final until you have given birth, take the time you need.... plenty of us bmums and bdads are waiting if you decide on an adoption plan. it is no go for anyone involved if it is the wrong decision. Best of luck to you, it can't be easy. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders though. I think you will make the right decision for you and your baby.

Find out your rights.. Make sure you get a lawyer that represents you.. If you want an open adoption get it in writing..

There is a lawyer that posts here.. Maybe ask her some questions.. Start a thread in the legal section..

Also I would suggest making the decision to relinquish after the birth..

Introduction


crazeee above is the location of a thread where the lawyer introduces herself..

An important question was asked in that thread.. A question about the promise of pictures.. Or a non promise..
