Perhaps she should just put her efforts into raising her one year old and be happy with what the good lord has given her.
Your friend wants another child...have you or she ever stopped to realize that any child she adopts also first and foremost wants his or her real MOTHER?
In order to be adopted, a child must first suffer a LOSS. His or her mother, father, family. Consider this and really, really put yourself in the child's place. Getting a "new home" is all nice and dandy, but it doesn't erase or take away the pain of losing one's first family.
So before she adopts, I hope she does some real research into the pain, grief, loss, abandonment issues, separation anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, attachment disorders, self-esteem issues, etc. that adoptees can face. (Yes, even people adopted as infants carry these issues).
Adoption should NEVER, EVER be about fulfilling the needs of adults...it should be about finding a home for a child who needs one, period. So I hope she looks into the foster care system and provides a hope for a child whose parents' rights have already been terminated, a child who is already free for adoption and needs a home.
THESE are the kids for whom adoption is designed for.
She should educate herself, read, and then read some more.
Adoption is not a win-win-win situation...because a child must first lose her mother, and a mother must first lose her child. There are always two people who lose out in adoption. |

foster care is free and the best way to go about adopting. |

I was adopted. I think it is a good idea. However start with the department of family children services they can direct you to what agency. She needs to decide that if she want to adopt from the US or another country I say US it is difficult, but we adopted my brother from the US and it was a blessing. Be careful not get a scamming agency and beaware of money. There are a lot of black markets out there. |

Yea, I think she should adopt but if she's doubting herself then it's probably not the right time |

Well, she would be downright SELFISH to have another kid knowing that there is a possibility of dying.How is that fair to her child? maybe she should enjoy the one that she has now.
Has she ever thought about foster care adoption? there are MANY kids that need homes.There are even toddlers. |

I would say yes if she wants more children and there is only a 2% chance that that she would survive another pregnancy. Sure there is a little more work you have to do home studies and fill out a lot of paper work but in the end it’ll be worth it (least for most people). Your friend should look into foster care adoption as this are the kids that truly need a family and home they have children of all ages (0 to 17) and races
Your friend has four options –
1.Get pregnant again and risk that she will be luckily and it wouldn’t kill her but with 2% odds that is not very hopefully though she could always be in the 2% that make it
2.Adopt a child/baby that needs a home and family
3.She can just be satisfied with her one child, because honestly some people don’t have any kids. There are people who cant have natural children and adoption is not for them so they are childless even though they wanted kids.
4.Hire a surrogate to carry the baby.

not all of the children are more work.
She could also consider the foster-to-adopt
So she knows the child
We fostered a 9 month old and he couldn't even sit up but now he is 15 months and is a perfectly normal child.
And then there are mothers who leave their baby at the hospital and run off and the foster parents are called to come pick up some new born and if they can't get the mother to take the child you can adopt the baby and it's like having a child from the start. |

Adopting is a good option. Honestly, it's not more difficult than going through nine months of labor. She should try a local adoption agency, but I wouldn't recommend adopting from overseas. It's really expensive. |

I'm sure if you don't want your friend to die, you'd talk to her about adopting. It's better that way, it's helping a child as well as making sure your friend actually does stay alive. Make her check with her doctor, they'd have more knowledge on the situation than me. |

adopting is a GREAT option..

Yah she should adopt. It is harder but it is better because you get to give a child a home when they dont have one. It gives them a loveing family and a future :) |

She would adopt a child from an adoption agency.
I don't see anything wrong with it.
Good luck and God bless!! |

I think it would be better to adopt at this point because you would not want a baby and you too die especially since their is a 98% chance. Probably adopt from an orphanage in the united states or become I am not sure what the correct term for them is but a person who is there to take the baby right after the biological mom gives birth. I think it would be better to adopt a kid at birth then one who is older, therefore being less work. |

i think she should adopted a child because i could save then from being along and thinking no one cares about then because no one adopted them plus if she adopts a boy or a girl then the child will have a better possibility that they will feel loved so give it a try you will never know unless you try well i hope it helps bye write back if it does |

My eldest son was given up 4 adoption @ birth, his best interests were in mind when his mother and I placed him 4 adoption. His adoptive parents bought the mother and I a steak dinner and bottle of champagne.
I would seriously look in 2 adopting a child rather than attempt 2 deliver another and risking those 98% odds against, were I U!!
May the gr8er good prevail!!
God bless all involved abundantly!

Adopting a child is a terrible idea! Having kids is easier because they have your genes, and you knew them straight from birth. I know at six families that have adopted, and they said that their own kids were much easier to handle. |

Definitely adopt. There's so many kids in the orphanages, since everyone says "Oh, just put the kid up for adoption! So many wanting parents!"
Personally, it's not worth risking her life over to have a kid of her own.
I don't know where she'd adopt though. |
