I am a recent high school graduate with an 11 month old daughter. I am 19-years-old and do not have a job, and my family's situation is leaving us in a financial rut that we are sinking deeper and deeper into. I need to find a family that can care for, love and support my little girl. Her name is Sophi Elizabeth, and she is the happiest strongest little baby girl I have ever known of. This is so hard for me but I know that it is the right thing to do. She needs a family to love her unconditionally and financially without any hesitation or struggling. This will be hard for all of us to do, but I know if is the right thing to do. And if she remembers be, then I hope she will one day understand that I DO love her, and that I did this because it is best for her.
