Wow! Things must be pretty rough if you or someone you know is going to let money come between themselves and a child. There are too many govt programs out there for one to have to consider putting up a child for adoption. This question really just breaks my heart....... |

We all have financial difficulties but we work through them. You should do the same. |

Hi Sherri,
I don't normally respond in this manner, but I read your previous posts before answering. Since you have already had a case against your for neglect from less than 4 months ago, and since your child suffers from asthma, his needs must come first. If you cannot or refuse to take care of him and will not or are not capable of putting his needs and his health first, then he should be with someone who can do so. I would suggest that you start with yourself and see if there is any way that you can do more for your child. You can contact DSS/DHEC and get all sorts of support for your child and yourself. Barring that, I would seek out help from family and friends. They might be able to help you financially or by caring for your child until you are on your feet. If that, too, is not an option, then you need to contact CPS and tell them that you cannot adequately care for your child. He is still young and he will--most likely--be adopted. However, you must be aware that this is a lifelong decision for a temporary situation. There are no 'do overs' and you very well may never see your son again. If that is 'fine' with you, then so be it.

Check with your state agencies. I'm sure there's some kind of aid you can get short of giving away your child. I pray he/she never finds out your even contemplating this. |

Yes you can but there are alot of agencys that would be able to help you financially for example food stamps, welfare and even child care. Dont but your baby up for adoption you will regret it for the rest of your lives. Look at your budget and see where you could make cuts. |

Well, yes. You can put a child up for adoption for any reason. Assuming it's your child to begin with.
Since the answer is so obvious, I have to wonder if you posted this simply to raise eyebrows.
If you are serious, I would suggest speaking to someone at Job and Family Services. They can fill you in on all your options, including financial aid possibilities if you choose to keep your child. |

Considering giving your child up for adoption is a very hard decision to make. If you feel like you are unable to provider what your child needs, then there are multiple adoption agency out there that are going to be willing to help you and multiple people that would be very happy to have a child.
I wish you the best luck in making this hard decision. Sometimes, it is best for the child to be given up for adoption or to live with other family members instead of having a unstable or hard life. If you are strong enough to have thought this out and know it may be best, then I applaud you. If you are just worried you are having a passing financial strain though, there may be lots of help out there so you can stay a family. |

Yes, it is possible to place a toddler for adoption. There are many prospective adoptive parents who would be open to adopt a toddler. The "older children" that you hear about not being able to be adopted and growing up in foster care are usually over 8 years old.
With that said, if financial strain is the only reason for considering adoption, then you (or the hypothetical parents) need to look into financial assistance programs. In the US there are enough programs to make it possible for families to raise their children despite difficult times. There are also temporary options such as temp. guardianship while the parents get back on there feet. I do realize though that in adoption, financial strain is usually only part of the reason parents consider adoption. |

You should have more faith in the future and look hard for a better paying job instead of spending time on Y/A ! Your kid has faith in you, don't break that trust for a (probably) temporary financial strain. |

Why? Thats horrible. Youd put your own child up for adoption so you can be financially stable! Put the toddler in another family member care until you can. |

I'm sure it is but obviously you would want to use up every other option first.
I think youd want to see if you could find a better job, get some financial support from a charity - get your friends to donate baby clothes so you dont have to buy them, move into a cheaper house etc etc before you make that big decision.
I hope you dont have to do it. Good luck. |

First of all. You should have thought about the financial part of raising a child before you decided to keep it. There are many places that can help you. Dont give up your child for financial reasons. You will get through it. If we all waited til we could afford children, The world wouldnt go on. Good Luck. |

If you have no family or support to help you with your child and you want what is best for the child then maybe you should check into an open adoption. This way you will be able to see the progress of the child growing up and they would still know you depending on the openness of the adoption. It shows how much you really love the child to want what is best for them if you are not able to provide it for them. It is much better than doing the unthinkable like in the Caylee Anthony case. If you need someone to talk to feel free to email me at breezehillfarm@yahoo.com. Good luck in whatever you decide. |

Were you put in that position as a child? probably not. because that's a terrible thing to do, let alone to blindly ask people over the internet. We're a few days from Christmas, think about the child for God's sake. And, If you were put in this same situation as a child and grew up without your real parents, then you should know better. Anyways, not going to lecture, but do your best, try to cut your costs, get friends and family to help. And, at last resort please don't post questions of the sort to an audience of people that you don't even know and leave your baby's fate too that alone. Good Luck! All the best to your son/daughter. (And, If you're having serious troubles check out Dr. Laura Lessinger, she'll do her best to send you in the right direction). |

If this question is really laying on you, then maybe you should, there are other thing that you can do ( in Nebraska you can take a child to any hospital & drop them off). I would hate to think that things will get bad & the child gets neglected. If you do decide to make sure that you are keeping tabs on the child, let the agency know that you are concerned & your situation ... so they know that you care. |

You can put any child up for adoption at any age for any reason. The problem is the older your child is, the less likely it is that he/she will be adopted. Most adoptive parents are looking for infants and thus, many older children, including toddlers, end up in the foster care system until they reach adulthood. There are many financial resources for impoverished people with children, e.g., Medicaid, food stamps, child care assistance, rent assistance, that are designed to allow parents to keep children even when they aren't in the best financial position. |

i forgot what state it is but in that one you could even drop your kid (someone even did a 15 y/o) at the hospital and they're not your problem anymore
...but you honestly must not really like your kid to be thinking that |
