I thought people on here usually made up a new fake account before they posted pretend adoption questions that didn't really apply to them. I guess the 12 year olds aren't the only ones who get bored and post this stuff.
However, Gaia Raain- that link was pretty funny. Are those people for real? |

Please don't make the same mistake twice!
Oh...you are trash talkin right? Oh, it's good for the goose, but not the gander. I see!
Is this your way of championing for your cause without being insulting? I will keep this in mind. Thanks! |

I think you should disregard all the people judging you and follow what your heart tells you to do. Either way you decide is going to be okay as long as the baby is loved, safe, well taken care of. |

Good for you for giving this baby life instead if aborting it!
Do you know someone who you could give it to? You sound like an intelligent woman. If baby is not in your plans find a good adoptive home for it. |

Maybe you can find something better to do than posting fake questions on Y/A. |

You're kidding right? Hmm...a baby or trips...how in the world could someone decide. That is just too tough!!!
Seriously, if that is your thinking on a baby then yes you need to let someone else raise the baby and love it. You obviously don't know how to. |

i agree with the first couple ones but i also see how you want to do this because you have a chance to do something thats exciting..
But you are 45, you had time to do all these great things but now you are pregnant and its time for the baby.. You didn't have to get pregnant, you can provent it but if your thinking about giving it up for a trip.. what are you gunna do when its all over? You can't get him/her backk.. |

not be so selfish... i'm sorry, but if a baby wasn't in the plans you should have thought about that sooner.
give it up for adoption to someone who'll put the baby before themselves.
sorry if i'm sounding rude, i just didn't know this type of maturity could possibly be over 45 years in the making... |

Basically, it would be useful to use your heart in this situation to answer your own question.
Will you be looking back in years to come and feel guilt that you gave your baby up just to travel and take pottery classes!
You have been given a wonderful gift and opportunity.
Especially when we all know how hard it is to conceive a child beyond the age of 40!!
hope that helps. |

Clearly this baby is not your first priority. You want to give your baby up so that she/he doesn't get in the way of your traveling. This baby doesn't deserve a mother like you. You brought this child into this world it's your responsibility to put your "wants" on the backburner and focus on what is important. |

Are you crazy? Don't give it up for adoption. But once you see your baby for the first time, you will change your mind. A baby is so innocent. And think how the child will feel when he grows up and doesn't know who his real parents are!!! |

Give him to me please.........I beg you.
Im a double-wide with a double-wide and have lots candy and luv to give.
PS Sorry but I can't help you with your medical bills only the prenatal vitamins. You can live with me until you give birth so I can fatten you up and keep an eye on you.
ETA: You can sleep in my room since I usually eat and sleep in front of the tv and it faces the highway so its a little noisy throughout the day and on weekends. I hope the mirrors on my bedroom ceiling won't bother you.
ETA: OMG..I love cheetos...I can't wait to tell my new baby how much we have in common. Maybe I'll make that his middle name. |

Read about baby-wearing, and invest in a good baby sling. Babies actually have the major advantage of being extremely portable. ;-) |

Don't forget college, you can't get a degree and have a baby too! |

I highly suggest giving up that baby and picking up a new one while in China on your way home. You can always figure out what to do with that one when you get home.
ETA: LOLing at some of these answers... I see that "tongue-in-cheek" is wearing camoflage today... |

Abandon the kid so you can travel and the state will take care of the baby in the great system of FOSTER CARE. |

Oh wow, I had this happen. I wasn't 45, but my youngest child turned 18 six weeks before my daughter was born. I did actually have one person suggest that if it happened to them, they would throw themselves off a bridge, and another seriously thought I should consider adoption. What wonderful family values we have here in the land of plenty.
Thumbs down or not, I was taken aback when I realized that the "me first" attitude is promoted not only to young mothers, but to old mothers as well. I thought the best part about being pregnant at 40 would be the lack of vultures swarming. Boy, was I ever wrong. And it was pretty much just what Maybe suggested. "Oh, you deserve to enjoy life at your age. Have you thought about adoption?" Of course, I had been divorced 10 years and had vowed never to marry again. I guess single women at any age are fair game. |

Yes totally.. adoption is a wonderful thing and your child will be able to have the best world by being adopted. You are completely selfless by thinking adoption and there are so many deserving couples out there who deserve a baby. You could chose an open adoption where you can always be a part of your baby'slife and so the baby will have the best of both worlds. and so much love. Adoption is all about love.
Oh sorry... was this a serious question? ;)
ETA: I'd have to agree with Sunny... Grapesgum you have captured the whole process so well! |

Can you bring me one from china when you get back? I have lots of kool aid, a pony and a huge pool outside. well it's really more of a large puddle than a pool, but I'm sure my uh i mean your kid will be grateful huh? |

Lol! I love your sense of humor.
Gee, you should obviously give it up for adoption. Just as good a reason as the line that's fed to young moms, telling them that babies will get in the way of college or "having a life" and not telling them that once you give birth, that baby IS your life and not only that but most colleges have parent resource centers, daycares, and scholarships for single parents.
(Yes, a tongue-in-cheek answer as well). |

We are the perfect family for your baby. We are in our early 40's and can't conceive because we waited too long to start our family because we did not feel secure until we had every material thing in the stores and we wanted to travel all over the world. We have sssooo much sh!t in our house and sssooo many irrelevant experiences to offer a child.
We have our baby sling and urban stroller all set to go and the nursery is decorated. Mom-to-be is on hormones to produce breast milk and is all ready to nurse our baby as soon as you can pop him/her out into our loving arms.
We, of course, want an OPEN adoption which will be facilitated through our agency. If you are a really, really good little birth mommie we will send you a picture of OUR baby once a year for 2 whole years (through the agency, of course).
We promise to take care of your every need until you sign TPR papers.
Please, please, please pick us!!! |
