I also think the first step should be research. You need to research the various types of adoption and ethical considerations with each one. You need to research the process and your state's adoption laws.
Go online and read the experiences of adoptees, first parents, and other adoptive parents.
Contact your local child welfare services and find out about their foster to adopt and parenting programs.
Order the information packets from a number of different agencies and attorneys in your area and read them thoroughly. Ask for a number of references, including first parents so you can analyze how they treat people.
The more information you have, the more likely you are to have an ethical adoption and be good parents. |

Contact an agency and they will take care of coercing a young pregnant woman for you.
Just hope you have a huge bank account, buying your child will be expensive. |
