The decision to give your child up for adoption is totally yours and yours alone. The time or place in which you decide to do it or not is totally up to you. Some people don’t decide till they are in the hospital and you are three weeks from that.
Good Luck
You can email me directly, if you need help finding an agency, i would help you find one near by you, but you can go on line and search or you can go to your ob or church and any of those places can help you. rugby chick

As I wish that you would consider keeping your little girl, I can understand the circumstances in which you would want to give your baby up for adoption. With only 3 weeks left, there is so little time, but it is still possible. Maybe you could discuss with your doctor at your next appointment and explain to them that keeping the baby is no longer part of the plan and explain that you would very much rather to give the baby up for adoption. Your doctor should be able to help you out on a game plan of what to do. I also know that some hospitals allow you to bring in your newborn baby (72 hours or younger) and leave them with them. They will keep in completely confidential and they won’t call the police. Now that really isn’t the route that I would choose, but whatever is the best for you and your baby. Good luck with everything honey Kayla

One of the best agencies I know of is Bethany Christian Services. They helped my birthmom when she was only 4 weeks away from giving birth to me so no, you are not too late to make a good plan for your little one. Their number is 1-800-BETHANY.

I wish you well. Ranchmom1

Hi Jessica
First off, you have to relax. Stress is not doing your baby any good.
Have you thought this through very carefully? I take it things have just changed - take a day or so, and REALLY think it thorugh, see if there is any way to avoid this.
Having been in your situation, though, I sympathise, but in my case I never thought it thorufh and have had to live with regret. It’s something I want you to not have to go through, so make very very sure about this.
If you have decided thqat this is the best option, you will need to go and see an adoptionagency - this will not cost you anything. I got an agency, there are different ones that give you as birthmother various ,options, choose one with not only what you want now but what you want in future, they can help advise you with this.
Choose an agency that you can pick the family with, I would say - that way you get to pick who you would like to see raise your child. Talk about options, like if you want pictures, some will give you limited visits even. You may want to just do this and walk the other way, but take my word for it, this will change, over time you will keep wondering and thinking aobut this, it’s natural since your body never forgets it carried a baby that is no longer with you. So talk it over with the agencies, see who offers what, and go for it. In my case the adoptive parents paid for all my medicals, scans, birth process and hospitalisation, everything. The process itself should be quick, since most agencies have a long waiting list of adoption families just waiting for a child.
You will also need to check the laws about the biological father, and make sure you follow those laws, hard as it may be.

I wish you the best of luck with the future. Silver

Get a grip. You, for whatever reason, chose to bring a child into this world. Now do your job and be a mother. Bed. Made. Lie.

Don’t make your child pay for your lack of planning and/or birth control.

Don’t be an abandoner. Are you prepared for your child to hate you one day? If you abandon your child, you will be willfully stealing that child’s identity and ENTIRE family.

Don’t do it. Don’t be an abandoner. Elizabeth

Ignore the rude comments. Some people have no heart.
I admire you for knowing that you aren’t ready for this child and having enough love in you to not abort it.

I was putting my child up for adoption and found a lovely family through this website.

I had an amazing caseworker, Sharen Caulfield.

They offered to fly me to Maine where I could live until the baby was born and until I had recovered, and pay the doctors bills.

Sadly, I miscarried.

I wish you all the best and I highly recommend Connections.

Good Luck!! Preda
