How do i find out about private adoption?

Mom to Foster Children

Why don't you just flat out ask one of us for our children? This is basically what you are doing. Try Foster Care - that is where children need homes and families not some agency where there moto is ...

"we can make your family complete"

Ugh!

Well, no matter how you choose to pursue an adoption, you'll have to involve the legal system, to be sure that you have all the paperwork and consent forms that let you retain the right to parent a child.

Are you asking about networking and meeting someone personally who is unable to care for their child? I put a website below that can help you with networking ideas, as well as provide some more information about pros and cons of different types of adoptions.

I would also love to have a family, but understand the pain of not being able to. Hopefully you will be able to find just the right child to bring into your home. Best of luck!

No please go through it the proper way, I know there are holes in the system but its better for the baby and if anything goes wrong you have thhe paperwork.

Why private adoption?

Adopting a waiting child from foster care is MUCH less expensive and is truly helping someone in need.

ETA: "we are already full time foster carers"
So why aren't you adopting from foster care?!

"there ARE so many people out there that dont want there babys"
Really?! If there are SO many people who don't want their babies, then why are you asking this question on the internet?

Adoption is supposed to be about the needs of the child - not the desires of adults.

'Insert name here'

Adoption should always be about the child, but i think thats what you believe too from the way you sound. Consider foster care first and see what that offers you, you may be able to foster a baby which you can later adopt. Also i take it that your are in the UK from your 'baby P' quote...private adoption isn't like it is in the USA...i would look at going through adoption some private adoption agencies or also look into overseas adoption. But it isn't common that babies are available. Countries like Gutemala have lots of babies ready to adopt out as do China but it is pricey and not always in the best interest of the child in my opinion. Please consider looking at adopting a toddler from your own country.

If you're refering to Baby Peter who was the baby that died in Haringey (England) then in his case yes he should have been removed from his parents as should any child that is being abused. Incidently I know of many cases where children have been wrongfully removed from their parents and they are fighting to get their kids back. Unfortunately in the UK there are kids that should be removed from abusive parents and others that are but shouldn't because their parents haven't done anything wrong. There are a number of kids in care just because their parents suffer with depression yet have never harmed their kids.

Btw if you are in England you can't adopt privately as it's illegal so the only way you can adopt privately is to go abroad.

"but there ARE so many people out there that dont want there babys just like baby p"

That is the common adoption myth. Very few people don't want to keep their babies. Society has changed to so that single parents can keep their babies and not be fired from their jobs.

Face reality - their are very few babies. Give a home to a child who really needs one and stop dreaming about something that is not real.

babby troll. Ima gonna report you.

Google it. This is not the place to troll for babies.

The only "help" women who cant look after their babies need is support- and NOT from someone who wants that baby for themselves.

Coerce much?
