If i put my baby up for adoption, can i get my baby back?

rain cloud

i believe you can.... as long as he hasnt been adopted yet..

Kristal P

you can if they are adopted by fat white christian people

I'm delicate like a flower

no. you give it up, it is no longer yours.

you already know you're fertile. so give up this baby and then when you're ready to raise a child, have another one.

Sarah

no once you rights are terminated thats it but you could let the baby live with the adoptive parents for a while before you make your final choice

Cleopatra

Don't, it will confuse your baby because he/she knows you before they are born. In light of this, your baby will try to reject the adoptive mother. He/she will also scream and cry to make you return. He/she will scratch out their face trying to see you/them. Stick it out, don't listen to agencies or any other people who "support" adoption because it's not in your baby's interest. Neither is it in yours.

Melissa Swan

No. And if you did you could scar it for life. Children need stability not to be passed back and forth.
Can't you ask family members to help you look after it?

Crystal H

no because once you give up the rights to your child then can't just take him/her back when you think you're ready to raise him/her...You can try to have an open adoption between the adoptive parents...

if you put the baby up for adoption you cannot get it back,but you really should do what will be best for the baby in the long run.i know it is hard to do,but you have to think of the baby's future.im not meaning to sound mean or anything.just do what your heart tells you and what you feel is the best decision,good luck :)

No, when you sign adoption papers the adoption is forever. Think about what's best for your baby. A child needs stability & it doesn't sound like you have much stability to offer right now. You could look into open adoption where you get to choose a couple to adopt your baby & stay in touch with them if you like. Contrary to what some people post on here, many couples do honor their open adoption agreements. I'd also recommend counseling to sort out your feelings & help you decide what to do.

Stop the Hate Love instead

Are you joking? You can decided to parent and if you do thatâ€™s great. You can not decide that you will parent when it is confident for you. Sure it wouldnâ€™t be easy be a parent and completing H.S but it can be done.

Now there is a reclaim period in some states the length depends but most is not more then 6months, some are as short as 48 hours. If you want look into temporary guardianship but I suggest you just parent your child and make the sacrifices that you have to be a good parent and get your educated. Why not go for your GED its equivalent to HSD

MARY

I don't understand. You haven't even given birth yet and you want your baby back? That doesn't make sense. Why not just parent then?
Ok, I re-read your question. So, you want someone to babysit your child until you get your act together. Sorry, honey, it doesn't work like that. Sounds to me like your only option is parenting. There should be plenty of places you can go to that will help you.
And it's "...my boyfriend and I are both..." You wouldn't write "Me is really busy", would you? Thanks.

Darling, there are no return policies.If you sign your rights away, you sign your rights away.The best interest of the child is not to bounce from house to house.How are you going to have the child live with a family and rip it away just because you want it back? Doesn't work like that.

You CAN still graduate and raise a child.Many have done it and many do it.It will be different, but hey...that's how it is when you get yourself knocked up!

If you give your baby up for adoption you can not get it back later on. See if one of your relatives would care for it while you finish school and get settled.

Jason

No No No. You can't get your baby back. Once someone else adopts the baby before birth, they'll take the baby away from you as soon as it borns. Why can't your mom help your care for the baby and then, when you're ready, take the baby and move out. You'll of course need to stay with mom till you're ready. If you're not ready NOW and still want to keep the baby then there is no need to put the baby up for adoption. ADOPTION ARE PERMANENT!!

Pip

If you haven't terminated your rights yes but if the adoption has been finalized then no.

grapesgum

No, adoption is permanent, irrevocable, and forever. It is highly likely that once you sign adoption papers, you will never see your child again.

Do not be lured into a so-called "open" adoption where you are made promises that you will have ongoing contact with your child. "Open" adoption is a scam invented by the adoption industry to trick women into giving their babies away. "Open" adoption is not legally enforceable and MOST so-called "open" adoptions are closed once the adoptive parents get all rights to the baby.

Mikes93Right

Adoption is not a baby sitting service for uncaring teens. Don't ruin someone elses life because you don't want to buy a condom.

Alskarinna

Maybe if one of your family members agrees to take the baby for a period of time, but in a regular adoption, definately not.

Soundra

I want my baby back, baby back, baby back. Baby back ribs...

Romany

Adoption is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Since you've already decided that you want your baby, don't let anyone try to convince you that:

- You are being selfish if you want to keep your baby.
- Your baby will be "better off" with another family (older, married, financially stable).
- You can have an open adoption. Even IF the adoptive parents honor the agreement, THEY will be the parents, not you and your bf.

Please do some reading about how YOU and your bf can keep your baby and about the coercive tactics used on young parents. www.keepyourbaby.com

No, adoption terminates all your parental rights.

What you are describing sounds more like legal guardianship

Please don't be tricked by promises of 'open adoption' where you receive updates and photos etc etc, it's just a selling tactic and you have NO rights when the adopters renage on their promises (which they do more often than not)

Doodlestuff

Nope. Either decide to be a parent or you will lose your child permanently.

snowwillow20

Once your baby is adopted you can not get it back.

*Starfire*

No in adoption you terminate your rights but you could do a temporary gaurdianship with a friend or family member. But just wait til the baby is born if you work your butt off you could make it work.
