At 7 weeks pregnant I would guess you might still be in a bit of shock. Don't make any snappy decisions - often during pregnancy your feelings change as you bond with the baby you are carrying in your womb.
I would also read as much as you can about babies, adoption, talk to a counselor who is not biased in one direction or another and ask questions of women who gave up a child. |

Wait until you give birth, don't make the decision now.
It's a really heart wrenching decision that will screw you up for the rest of your life. |

My sister was going to do adoption when she found out she was preg. she looked into open adoption threw an agency, they tried to act like they had HER best intrests in mind but I can tell you they did not. They didnt givve her any time to talk it out they just made her feel like a bad person for not being "rich" enough to give her daughter all the things that a daughter deserves. This made my sister feel like she was being selfish if she were to keep her. They tried saying that the baby would be happier with two parents and with money to attend day camps and what not but GUESS WHAT it was a lie. They could care less how "happy" that child was they just wanted to get the baby as soon as it was born and make some money. Luckily my sister talked to my parents and my parents were more then willing to help in any way. Please look at your options before giving up your baby. A baby doesnt need you to be rich and married.
Your scared now but things will get better. |

Your avatar name is "6 weeks to Pookie #1"
Might I suggest that you USE A CONDOM and GET SOME BIRTH CONTROL to stop Pookie #2 and Pookie #3 from happening.
BE RESPONSIBLE |

You need to speak to a doctor who will not only care for you through your pregnancy but also talk to you about adoption. He/she should be able to refer you to an organisation that will arrange it for you. I don't know what country you are in, but you may be asked to deal with issues such as:
*open and closed adoption (whether you want to be a part of your child's life or not)
*whether you get to choose the couple or if your baby will go to the next people on the waiting list
*How long after the birth you have to change your mind about keeping the baby
I live in Australia and was adopted at birth to a great family. I did however, get angry as a teenager and wondered why I was given away. I felt rejected. I would suggest that if you don't remain in your child's life that you give him/her a letter to read later in life, explaining why you did what you did. It will really help your child process and understand why he/she was adopted.
What you are doing is extremely brave and selfless. You will make a loving couple so very happy. Good luck. |

If you do an internet search for adoption services in your area, you should find many options so you can research which one is right for you. And bless you for considering adoption, even if you decide to keep your baby. Should you give him/her up, you'll grieve the loss, but if you're not ready for parenthood you have made a beautiful sacrifice that will enrich a couple's lives forever. |

Being pregnant can be scary. I loved being pregnant.My husband is in the Navy and we have been trying for a year and a half to have another baby but I have a hormone problem. We would like to adopt. I believe there are different ways to give a child up, it depends on the state. where are you located sometimes it can be done with a lawyer from the adoptive family. |

I want to commend you for giving life. You are probably scared and unsure of what lies ahead. Take your time. This is your choice and you will receive lots of advice from everyone. You can walk into an agency, you can talk with social services, or even a lawyer can handle a private adoption. There are so many ways. I am sure there are so many more as well. My husband and I are just starting the search to adopt a child and that is how I have found these avenues. You pray about it and put your baby first. Good Luck and stay strong! |

My mom gave up one of her children due to the fact the father would have killed her... Very messed up situation, but anyway she gave her up and it was through a Christian organization. My mom got to pick out the family and got to know them first. And nearly 19 years later that sister is back in our life and is great. So you may be able to see the baby after he/she turns 18. Good luck! |

You will have to call the social service agency I guess. Ask them how you go about it. There is such a thing as open adoption where you can choose the family. You could ask your OBGYN for information. I hope no one gives you **** over this..at least you aren't aborting it. |

Why? Why did you get pregnant if you were not going to care for your baby?
Adoption is not great although you will get many on here saying how fantastic you are.
You are only 7 weeks, your baby is not even real in your mind yet. Just wait until the hormones hit and the pre-birth bonding starts. Don't do anything until your baby is born and see how you feel then.
You seriously need some help- get on the pill once you have had this baby and keep your legs closed! |

As a family currently looking to adopt I do know that there is allot of bad and good in our wold. One of the previous post gave good advise to take your time to really think this through. Once a decision is made there is only a small window depending on where you live. My advise would be to get information from several sources and educate yourself. In the US there is Planned Parenthood or just google agencies or lawyers in your area and collect as much information as you can. Make sure you make a decision that feels right to you.
I wish luck in your journey. |

Putting your baby for adoption is hard work. But dont decide yet your too early to decide. Some people make thed desision too early and then they regeret it! try giving it some time. mabye youll decide to keep it and ull grow loving it. besides think about it you wouldnt like it if you found out that you were put up for adoption! |

I would wait a while if I were you. You may change your mind. But if you decide to go through with adoption, google 'adoption agencies' in the area. They specialize in getting a ton of background information from couples (or individuals). They find out everything from any crimes commited by the individuals(they do fingerprinting and run the names through police records) to ethnicity to interests to upbringing to financial status to how the couple splits up housework! Anyhow, you would be able to read profiles of these couples and pick the family for your child. |

you have to go to a lawer and talk to them about it. or if you know someone that cant have a baby, you could always just give them your baby but you would still have to go to the lawer and talk.
that is what me and my hubby have to go and do i cant have a baby. but it does cost alot to adopt if you dont know anyone but if you do the only thing you have to pay is for the lawer and i think the people that are going for the adoption have to pay your law as well i could be wrong..
i really hope you can find a really good home for you baby. I would love to adopt your baby... |
