Will the adoption center let me have a baby? ?
|
Im thinking of adopting a baby. Im 24 years old, and american and live in the United States. Im making 9 bucks an hour. Also I don't any crime record as well. But I do have bad credit and I have skip from job to job about 18 times. Also I live with my mother, so I don't have my own place.
Will they still let me have a baby?

If you want an infant, in most cases you will wait several years for it (although, not ALWAYS).
However, the agency working with you very likely isn't looking for a rich parent. They just want you to be able to provide for your child. You don't have to own your own home, you can be single. They may question your work history if you don't seem stable with employment options.
Probably, they will ask a lot of questions, namely, why you live with your mother. That doesn't mean they won't allow you to adopt. They may see that as a plus, if she is able to help with the child.
If you adopt from Foster Care, you MIGHT get an infant, but most likely you will get a child older. If you go through a private agency affiliated with PPAI (Public private adoption initiative), they won't charge you. They are paid by the state. Sometimes they do have babies, especially if the baby has an older sibling, or is hard to place for various reasons.
Blessings,

9 $ an hour? are you CRAZY? no way. i work at a grocery story and in 2 hours u can buy diapers. look at the cost of things, who's going to help you out and make sure u can count on them, then rethink your Decision. you may want a kid but can you pay for it? |

Assuming this is a real question (hey, I'm feeling generous) and the answer may help someone else who is serious about adoption, no, I don't think they will allow you to adopt. You need to be financially secure and you must have accommodations of your own. You must also be stable in any relationship you are in as well as your job. There is nothing wrong with being that age and living with your mother (technically anyway) but it does not show you are financially stable or otherwise stable enough to adopt at this time. |

According to this question

you are 7 months pregnant? Which is it?? |
|
Does it really matter ?
|
If you are seriously asking then I highly doubt that an adoption agency will help you right now
You need to prove good financials (not to mention the money it costs for adoption)
stable living environment, sometimes college degrees
If you really want to adopt you need to look into the standards in your state and start working on them |

Probably not. |

probably only if you go through the foster/adopt program. Because making only $9 an hour and jumping jobs and bad credit, I highly doubt that you have $10,0000- $40,000 saved. That's what it cost to adopt. foster/adopt is little to no cost. But its hard to get babies, an older child would be easier and you at 24, probably couldn't adopt a child over 10 as there are rules on adoptive parents being so many years older than child they are adopting. Usually 10-20 years older.. EDIT: now that I have read your other questions I am sorry I wasted my time answering this one. |

NO! Are you crazy. |

nine bucks an hour will barely buy diapers. get your own place, get a real job, save about $40K and then start asking. |

I assess prospective adoptive families and you would have to do some real talking to get me to beleive you could meet the needs of a child given that you live with your mom and are making 9.00/hour. Nine an hour is a rough go for one person but then add a child on to that and the going is a stretch......
To me the credit would not be such a concern as the skipping from job to job. If you have held a job for 7 years, since you were 17, then that is more than two jobs a year until now...on average.
So.......this would take some assessing and exploration to approve you to adopt. Adopting an infant through social services.....no needs above what is nromal for an infant....you would get no assistance, no day care help.....nada!! |

If you are adopting through a private agency, which is costly, then probably. If you are planning to go through social services, the wait for an infant is several years. I think it's good you want to adopt, but maybe you should wait until you are ready to provide a home and life for a child. |

hmmm. it depends since you have bad credit. but you probably can. your making enough to support a child. good luck! |
