Do you think i should go and adopt or not?

Mz Baby

Yes, do not wait. I went through the same exact thing but never filed for custody it has been hard on my daughter and me and her mother. She is now 15 and 3 weeks ago her mom showed up and took her once again. I have had her off and on since she was 3 weeks old and its been times shes been with me for years there has been times i have even allowed her mom to live with us, but if i had a chance to do it all again i would have filed as soon as i realized what was going on because it hurt my baby in the long run.

Yes i think you should. God Bless

Melo

yes u should

I would say for you to try and have a serious discussion with both mother and father about the care of the child and go from there. I think it is pretty noble what you are doing, BTW.

Inspirational, well done.
I think you should, go for it!

you should

yes

Stella

Yes, I think you should adopt. She deserves love and it would be hard for her to grow up around her mom if her mom is unstable. I think you would be able to gain custody of the child... you have very good reasons to. Good luck :) x

well it sounds like it would be best if she was under you care so she can have a good life.

Those children out there needs a family to be Loved!!

YES!! YOU SHOULD..

if you feel ready to become a full time mother, than by all means, yes. This child needs someone to love and provide a stable home, I hope that you and her birth parents can work together to ensure that she receives it. I wish you the best of luck hun~x

I'd get a lawyer miss. I'm not really savy on the whole US legal system, and I couldn't tell you what your rights are. A lawyer could.

Wow! I wish there were more caring people like yourself in the world. Yes I think you should.

I think you should take the child into your full costody. Good Luck and God Bless You and the child, and the child's mother.

I think that you need to talk with a lawyer on what your options are. If she signed her over to you before, you may still have legal custody of the child. I would do some major work. Call a lawyer, check and see who actually has custody of the child, and see if you still have any legal rights to the child.

[um my opinion wouldnt be much of a help]

but i think you should file full custody of the child. . . you basically been in that childs life since it was born.

i really dont know much about this adopting thingys, but wont they give it to the father [even though he caint read or write]. since the mother is 'lost'?

you should try it. that baby needs a mother to be there for her.
:D

good luck with everything!

Kazza

Yes i think you should go for full custody, by the sounds of it you are already a major part of the childs life and give the child stability. If the mother is a regular drug user then she can not look after her child to her full potential, and a child needs all the love and care they can get to get that stability in life.....go for it....good luck

Ariiiiii !

definitely contact social services, this kind of sounds like the movie " loosing Isaiah " its like if she is unable to care for him, and you are, than i wouldn't see any reason why you would be unfit, especially if the mother is on drugs. You could be able to care for the child up until the mother is either clean permanently, or else... Youll need to speak to a lawywer!

It is wonderful that you have cared for this little child with so much love.

God will bless you for that.

You may have to go and get temporary custody of her for 12 months. Then, if you can still show that the mother is not capeable of good care, I would think the courts would give you custody.

You have given this dear child a life of love and security. No judge would take her from you and had her over to a woman that has such little value for a child.

God bless and be with you. Good luck. I will say a prayer for you.

You didn't give much info on yourself.
Can you afford a child?
Are you married, to where a child would have two parents?
Who would take care of the child while you are at work, and if you don't work, who pays for everything?
I understand you want what's best for the child, but it sounds like these are questions for whoever has been involved (child services?) with the signing over, etc.
You need some legal advice from someone who knows what the laws are for your area.
I know after raising her for a year, you must be really attached. I hope it all works out for you.

i think what you are doing is great and you are a great person.
first of all i'm am not sure if you can adopt her immidataly but any social worker would be happy to help. if you for some reason conntact or wish to contact a social worker a local chrictian church would also be happy to help. i think if you really love this child you should adopt her, but you are really young and this baby will effect you for the rest of your life.

i hope you you come to peace with your desicion.
you are doing a great thing

I think to adopt her you'll have to report the child to the police or social services and have her rights terminated. Most likely you would be allowed to adopt her if you've been the primary care taker. They would check your background too, but since you had custody before I'm guessing that would be fine. It sounds like it would be in the best interest of the child if you were the parent.

I think that under those terms you are qualified for adoption, and if your not, then you should go to court, I'm sure a judge will see it in your favor.

Paris Isles

i think you should go for it the real parents are not fit to take care of her! hope u get custody x

Cassie R

i think you should. if the mother really doesnt care enough to stop doing drugs for her child then your are better off keeping the child. And the child is better off with you than her acual mother.
