If I adopt out one of my kids could I loose them both?

You don't get to pick and choose your children, that is disgusting.

Raise your children. That is the job you signed up for when you became a mother.

what? so u just want to give away ur oldest son because he needs speacial needs?? u should love him more and not give him away. if u couldnt take care of the oldest and another one why did u get pregnant and have another one.

did u think that if the other child was born special also u would give him up to. i think thats selfish of u and mean to ur child it isnt his fault for being born that way

u should always love ur children no matter what

Placing one child or some children for adoption does not mean that the child(ren) your not placing will taken from you. The only way that would happen is if the courts deemed you unfit and terminated your parenting rights.

This is so sad.

What if your youngest kid gets injured and becomes a special needs kid? Will you throw him out, too?

Why would you want to get rid of your kid? Sure it's a lot on your plate, but that's your BABY we're talking about....

well my 11yr old and my 4yr old live with me fulltime but i have an 8yr old that i did give up for adoption(long story not getting into it) anywhooo, i used the CPS services to find my daughter a good loving home yet they never said anything to me about my other children or even questioned me about it.

I don't think that is the case. For you to lose your other son, they would need to show that you are unable to care for him. I'm so sory you are going through this. And if he is already with your mom, I don't think they will take him from her too. It might be a good idea to have him stay there (maybe you can live there too) until you are able to sort through this.

We are trying to adopt and from what I understand....if CPS requires you to place a child for adoption, then you are not going to get back your youngest. If you do private adoption of your child, you should be okay.

Just be sure to think it all through...special needs kids are wonderful kids...and there are a ton of community resources available to you. These kids are both yours, special needs or not.

How very sad. Obviously you have had problems raising your kids. The fact that you don't think you can handle YOUR special needs child makes me wonder if you can handle either. Maybe you should adopt both out for their sake?

I think you are very brave. You are an amazing mom. You are able to admit that your special needs child needs more help than you can give, and you are giving him the best gift he could have, a mother who knows her limitations. I know that as mothers we are expected to be able to handle anything, but if people would look deep inside, they would realize that not everyone can handle the same things. I would think that others would be happy that you love your son so much, that you are willing to give him up to see that his needs are met. I would rather see you do this, than only give half of yourself to both sons. You are very brave, and I'm sorry you are in this position. I wish you all the best.
