on 7/7/2009 i had a very complicated pregnancy and now have a very complicated child. I felt that having an abortion was not my place to take her life. Instead had my 1st baby born at 27 weeks, she was 2lbs 4oz. She was in the hospital for about 7 months of her life. She has had mulitple surgerys, and is still on oxygen. She doesnt eat anything by mouth, but through her gtube. I had to quit my job, my boyfriend has been supporting me for the past year.
I have been feeling very overwhelmed and depressed lately. I have been concedering adopiton. Not sure what to do...

on 6/4/2009 My husband and I are just looking into the process of Adoption... from the adoptive parents side... and its a hard process and a big decision, but I truely believe if its right its right. We have dealt with infertility for 4 yrs and havent come to this decision lightly. For all the biological mothers that are trying to decide if they will find a family to LOVE their child, you will... if your younger or older, 1 baby or 3... you will find the perfect family to LOVE your baby(ies). Who knows, maybe it will be us :)

on 5/30/2009 eah I am pregnant right now and no job and a little girl and really honestly im considering for both. i have no support from my family nor friends nor my husband which recently we got seperated. it kills me but what can I do? I can't financially provide let alone emotionally. I have a social worker and have tried to find help within the state and its not looking too good right now. It kills me but I would rather be able to sleep at night knowing they are taken care of instead of me stressing wondering where I will get clothes and diapers and money for transportation for dr appts. I am emotionally depressed and stressed myself. not good for my kids to be around.

on 5/23/2009 A decision like this should never be taken lightly and should be made after much research of all available options. If adoption is the end result of this research, choose an agency like http://BuildingArizonaFamilies.com to put the child's health and safety first throughout the adoption process.
