Safeguarding the rights and well-being of birthparents

That being linked to, I just want to add that if there is any way that you can rise up to the challenge of parenting, you should. The loss after relinquishment is very tough to live with.

Don't do it.

I'm a first mother.

Adoption is a long term solution to an often short term problem.

Mom to Foster Children

You can't put an unborn baby up for adoption anywhere because it hasn't been born yet!

Look in the phonebook under adoption agencies. Call around and pick one, they will handle the rest from there. Good luck!

As Mom to Foster Children said, only living children can be adopted. So first you have to give birth to your child.

Upon giving birth, essential components of normal newborn care include: Clean delivery and cord care, Body heat from being close to mother's body, Early and exclusive breastfeeding (preferably within first hour outside of womb), Monitoring Eye care, Immunization

Planning to care for your baby for a couple of months will provide him with a healthier foundation physically and emotionally to go through the sorrows inherent in losing his first mother.

Your baby will benefit from the extra months with you outside the womb and still be desired by MANY of the people anxious to raise someone else's baby.

Drive to Nebraska and put yourself up for adoption. Do it quick though before they reform the law there.

You could Google or Yahoo search "adoption Tennessee". I'm sure you'll find some agencies with descriptions of their services. You can even find profiles of families who are looking to adopt. In most cases, you will be able to pick which adoptive parents you want and even maintain a relationship with them over the years.

We adopted our daughter this way. Her birthmother picked our profile from several others. We got be at the hospital when she was born and we keep in touch with her birthmother through letters and pictures that we exchange several times a year.

Best of luck!

Go to your local family planning center, they have counselors there to help you through your difficult decision and to help you pick the best adoption agency to meet your needs.

If you do look into adoption agencies, you might want to check out any open adoption agencies or services there might be near you. In the case of open adoption, you generally get to choose your baby's parents, and stay in contact with the child after birth, if you want to.

All the best with your decision.

Stacy's Mom

Contact the state department of children & family services, an adoption agency, or a non-profit like Catholic Charities.

tell people on YA that you are pregnant, then let the desperate "grabber" emails come rolling in,

contact your local social services or adoption agency and tell them of your intentions.

try calling your state social service office they should be able to help you.

Ask your obstetrician, gynecologist or primary care physician. They get this question all the time and will be fully prepared to review your options with you. If you are not comfortable with that, telephone the Labor and Delivery Department at your local hospital and ask the nurse in charge of the shift to review all of your available options. Lastly, you may wish to ask a trusted person from your place of worship about your adoption options. Frequently, churches have established ties with particular adoption agencies to which they can refer you.

Please don't use an adoption agency, they charge way too much. Wouldn't you rather have the people that adopt the child put that money in a college fund or something? See if you can find someone for a private adoption. There are even alot of people on yahoo answers that can't have kids and would love to adopt yours and take care of it.

Contact your local social services but you'd probably have a better outcome if you contact an attorney who deals with private adoptions. They can get you a list of perspective parents and you can meet/screen them. Their attorney will deal with all the fees and make sure you get legal costs/hospital bills covered as well as decide if you want an open or closed adoption and what the terms of the adoption will be. Almost every newspaper has personal ads by couples looking to adopt. IF you do it privatly rather than through CPS or the state you will have more control and input.

What!
