Adopted,baby,child.

I wish I were in a position to adopt a child, but after 5 kids, the last one nearly 16, my husband doesn't want any more children. I will pray that this child survives childbirth and the baby gets a good and loving home. That poor girl. Only 13. I'll bet she's terrified.

did she get pregnant to just sell her child or is she in trouble and this is the only way out for her?if i was unable to have kids, i would adopt as there are many without a home and its not there falt.i love kids and want all of them to have a good and safe life.u cannot sell kids no matter what, she needs to do it the right way

I would pass on the advice to her that she is still very young and clueless and doesn't realize how dangerous it can actually be to try to "sell" your baby on the internet. She is doing the responsible thing by wanting to give up the baby for adoption, but doing it on the internet is not the way to go...especially in the method that she's thinking of.

When you are 13 your brain is not ready for babies. She is the child herself. My only question is: where are her parents? I think this is already double trouble. She needs psychotherapist.

How sad that she sees happiness related to money. If she had a clue, she would realize some of the happiest people are far from rich and some of the saddest are billionaires. I think she should opt for someone she knows will LOVE this child. In case she doesn't realize, child abuse is known on every aspect of the income scale. And I've seen more disfunctional families that have money, simply because they are driven by the almighty dollar. I hope she thinks twice before making the decision based solely on money.

I have a big friend that she was be adopted, she doenst cares she was adopted when she was a baby =x if the parents give love and care the child.. no problem!

The addoption is a great idea if she is sure thats what she wants, but I don't know about the rich bit . I think love is a lot more important than money xxxx

hm.........in my view it is bad to sell a baby.i dont like that.

She's still a child and for what you say with a big lack of family accompanment, seems that no one care about her. In this case, being for money or nome she better give her baby for adoption or this baby will be a child like her: no clues on how to proceed a normal life. Hope one day she will manage to find her way and that the baby will be able to have a healhy life with lots os love.

I highly doubt anyone reputable will 'pay' her for her baby. She'd be better off contacting an agency which can arrange for her housing, education needs and medical care. Most agencies also provide counseling for the girls who use their facilities. As far as 'rich Americans' adopting her child. I doubt that will be the case, but I suppose it depends on one's idea of what rich is... Yes, an agency with a good reputation, that offers both housing, medical care, educational needs and counseling would be best. Yes, she is a baby having a baby...at least in today's world.

well you are right but she also can't be a mom at this young age , she go herself into a big trouble .. why her parents don't adopt he baby !!!

I think this is a case to case basis, it depends on the intention. A mother, if incapable of raising her child due to financial constraint can consider adoption as an option. But if you are planning to get pregnant and after giving birth, give away your child to be adopted by other people, then that is a different story. I think one must be prepared on having a baby, it takes carefull planning and consideration to do so.

It is sad to hear a girl so young to bare a baby. I think she is just too young for that. She should try to get help from international charity organizations like Red Cross first. People there may know what is best for the girl and they give her hints on how to contact interested people in US to adopt her child.

On one think I can give a credit to this young mami look after her baby, good luck! God bless her!

wwell you say she seems sensible,. yet she is trying to sell her baby online, yeah not too sensible to me

If she can't take care of the baby, maybe it's a good idea to give it up for adoption. But, if she's only doing it to get paid for it, I think she should reconsider that option.

I think it wouldn't be a bad thing if she had the child legally adopted, but not black market selling. There are hundreds of people out there that are capable of raising a child, but can't have their own, so adoption is a wonderful thing. At 13 I doubt if she is prepared to do so herself, although with help it could be done. There is always the aftereffect of having to live with the fact that she gave her child away. I don't know what the laws are where you live, but is she likely to be able to choose "rich Americans" to adopt her baby? At least she seems to be thinking somewhat of what is best for the child, but getting paid for a child is just wrong!

I don't know that I could even begin to agree with "selling" your baby and to me that's what she's doing. I hope that she finds a good family and not just the highest price.

tell her she is stupid

Oh my what a sad story! Does she really think that a 'rich' family can look after a child any more than what she could? The poor little thing would probably be brought up by a nanny! No that there is anything wrong with that, but after the trauma of seperation from the birth mother, then it needs to go to a loving family - I see this was posted two months ago - is there any update?
