I am looking to adopt a friend on mine's babe-in-arms. She is due within three months so I will hold to move at full tilt.?
After I speak with her today and confirm this is what she wants to do, I will contact an adoption lawyer, but I only just wanted to know if any of you have any insight. Thanks so much guys!
I agree with the others, make sure this is what SHE requests. Don't pressure her. And don't be surprised if she changes her mind after laboring and holding the baby in her arms...so don't get hold of too attached to the idea.
Would just like to enunciate that if this goes through, MOVE AWAY after the birth, or now would be even better. You won't be able to be friends after you've adopt the baby. If she sees the child she gave up, she may regret her decision and decide she wants him/her back. She may also be constantly dropping surrounded by for visits, wanting the child to spend the night at her place, wanting to take the child places on her own. She would be constantly reminding you that she is the physical mother, make you feel guilty for expecting her to stay out, etc. It would be a huge mess and I strongly, strongly urge you to put a very big distance between the birth mother and the baby as soon as the baby is born. It would not be healthy for her, you, and especially not the child for her to be sagging around. She may think now that she would be capable of handling it, but to be precise now, before she's seen that the little one has her eye color and this child is a reality. Can you imagine someone else human being called 'mama' to your baby? Can you honestly imagine of late sitting on the sidelines and watching someone else hold your baby, play with him/her and you don't get to do anything? She won't be capable of resist. MOVE, preferably out of state. It would be a nightmare if you stayed.
You can't adopt a child while he or she is still in the womb, so you hold plenty of time and don't really need to move all that quickly. I would impart her some time and space to really think about her decision. After adjectives, she is your friend and you want to make sure she makes the decision explicitly right for her.
I would wait until she had the baby and later talk about adoption after she is sure that is what she desires to do. Offer to help her out if she wants to keep her child and agree to her know that you will be there for her as a friend no matter what she decides.
Answers: I suggest you move slowly. There is no reason to manufacture this decision before the baby is even born. If you are truly a fitting friend than I would think you would do everything you can to support her in making the best decisions for their lives. Remember, they inevitability to do what is best for them not You. If you rush her or pressure her you may be escorting her into a lifetime of regret. Have you ever had a baby? There is just no channel of knowing how you will feel until you hold that baby in your arms. She should not prematurely take home this decision. The fact is, you do not have to move hurriedly, if she decides adoption after the baby is born you can still get an attorney. In the meantime, be a friend...and well brought-up friends don't pressure friends to make decisions for their own personal gain.
Get a good legal representative and wait till the baby is born u are her friend so try to make sure this is what she wishes dont push her into this just because u want a baby but with her authority u can take the baby home from the hospital
You will hold to move quickly. You will need to get an adoption attorney and a social worker to come and evaluate you. I would NOT suggest cutting off all ties beside her. If the adoption does happen, an open adoption is best for the child. Please read up on adoption and it's effects on a child and you do what is best for the child. Good luck! Source(s): adoptive mom
I strongly suggest to you that you back off on exploiting your friend. You should NOT be approaching her about adoption until she can get an informed decision on it, and this means leaving her beside her baby until she has recovered fully from birth.
Until then, you are mortal what is called a "reproductive predator," which is no less immoral than one a sexual predator. You see, sexual predators take advantage of women, girls, and children in lay down to obtain sexual services from them when they are vulnerable due to age, poverty, isolation, or lack of social support. Reproductive predators try duplicate thing, but to get a baby. BOTH types of predators use love and friendship to carry what they want. Both ensure that their victims are exploited when they are at their most vulnerable and unable to defend themselves.
Your friend is hugely adjectives to you exploiting her, due to pregnancy hormones (high oxytocin rates) that make her trust you and bond with you and want to "please" you, and a 5% shrinkage in the size of her brain, which is bound to affect her cognitive processes. Other hormones induce stress and trepidation in her, especially during the few weeks just prior to the birth, thus making her more likely to nervousness being a mother and to entrust her baby to you. The adoption industry knows these devices and exploits them. Your lawyer is just another baby broker if he is facilitate this deal, which also amounts to human trafficking.
How about settle down and let her become a mother first, and afterwards decide whether or not adoption is right for her and her baby. But until she has her newborn in her arms and recovers, she cannot make any sort of informed conclusion about this, PLUS you run the risk of emotionally coercing her via your friendship. It sounds like you are not much of a friend. Help her find the resources she needs surrounded by order to parent, to help ensure that she is not FINANCIALLY COERCED into surrendering. A coerced decision is not a edict at all, and a mother who is forced by poverty (a human rights abuse -- see Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights) to surrender her newborn is not making a decision at adjectives.
Adoption is a multi-billion-dollar industry. The trauma and unresolved grief that mothers face after the surrender of their infants is life-long. Do not let your friend become another victim. Source(s): Remember that sharks move summarily as well. Don't be a predator.
if this is going to work i would suggest you and your friend lose contact after it has been made official. at hand will be a big chance she will bond with the baby and regret everything if she see's it reguarly. also rubbing her trunk in it wouldnt be a good idea.
if it is what you BOTH want afterwards i would strongly suggest pasrting ways once its done. hope it works out
surely you can take the baby as soon as he/she is born and await the paper work and since you are friends not a soul will know you have the baby! you will bond better too
but beware - this could put a huge strain on your friendship... she may decide she wishes to be Mum again.
get a very good legal representative
A true friend will support her in adjectives of her options. Please leave her alone with the babe-in-arms and abstain from applying pressure to her.
Make sure it is a good lawyer and that your friend is absolutely sure. This could affect your friendship and even next to an adoption lawyer, she can change her mind at anytime until the ink has dried.
