Pregnancy help?

I recently found out I'm pregnant. I know adoption is right for me. I'm only a few weeks a long right now, is it better to start trying to find an adoptive family right now or should I wait until I'm further along? I noticed online there are lots of websites where birthmothers can find waiting families but I'm nervous and not really sure how to contact them. Is there a place where they can find me besides through an agency, like a website or something? What types of things should I talk to the families about? How do I choose the right family? How does the adoption process work? I don't need money or aid or living expenses money like a lot of the information I find online about, I just want to find a wonderful family for the baby I'm carrying. Does the birthfather have to consent to the adoption? Do birthgrandparents have rights too for example if I want to gvie the baby up for adoption can they make it so I cannot? Thank you for your advice in advance.

By the looks of Ashley's avatar, she looks like she would give one of her very own kids away for adoption.

And then go have another.

Wait until you are further along because anything can happen between now and 3-4 months.

It takes a strong person to give their child up for adoption, that's great that your doing it.

I would wait till ur farther along because u might change ur mind and if u do u dont want to have to tell the adobted parents who r waiting for the baby

I can't tell you where to get one, try 5 months into pregnancy to find a foster family, and for the future, be responsible and use condoms.

in my opinion you should start looking NOW. the sooner the better. because the sooner you get a family that wants it-- then you dont have to worry about running out of time. what if you did wait and then you didnt find a family in time?? that would suck. i dont think the birth father or grandparents really have a say in it. its your kidd. im not quite sure HOW the process works-- but there is prolly a service in your town that you can use. i have a lot of friends that have gotten pregnant. a couple of them have put there babies up for adoption. they say that when they get with families-- they immidiatly get a feeling for them-- and when you get to the right family you'll kno. as for the questions-- thats a real person decision. its your baby and you want it with the right family-- there are the basic questions-- but there is also more personal questions you can come up with. think about what type of family you want your kidd to become a part of-- what you want for your baby and ask accordingly. i hope i helped. and good luck :]]

I would say....keep the baby. Babies are gift from God, you may never get pregnant if you deceive God love. So keep the baby before you regret tomorrow.

Every mom struggles in this world but at the end it pays off all the struggle.

I would say that you should start to research adoption. Only 10 percent of women that consider adoption early in the pregnancy actually end up going through with the adoption. Usually as you get into the last trimester of the pregnancy, you have more of a feeling if you really want to place your baby. I will try to answer some of your questions, but an adoption attorney would best be able to answer your questions.

1)Ask lots of questions about the families you are interested in and get to know them. You can even request a copy of your homestudy. Go with your gut when you choose a family-it should just "feel right" to you.

2)Birth grandparents cannot stop you from placing the baby for adoption if you are over 18

3)Birthfather must consent, unless he is listed as "unknown" , is not named on the birth certificate or is known but cannot be located.

4)There are website where you can say you want to place your baby, but you will get hundreds of emails for months and months. Trust me, you don't want that. I would stick with websites where you can look at adoptive families at your leisure like parentprofiles.com or potentialparents.com

5)You can choose open, semi open or closed adoption depending on the level of contact you want with the baby after placement.

Don't be afraid to contact potential adoptive parents and talk with them, they are just regular folks hoping to make a connection!
