Usually within 24hours or so of giving birth you can leave the child at a police or firestation no questions asked and they’ll take it in for adoption. Lackadaisy

Yes, you can mention you want to have the child adopted at the hospital.
A newborn baby died recently here in the UK when it was abandoned in, well basically it was just abandoned, on the street. See link: Cjeam

Firehouses are a pretty common place here in Florida. You can drop them off anonymously at the firehouses. Most adoption agencies will help you match up with a hopeful couple for no charge also. As matter of fact, sometimes the mother’s expenses while pregnant are paid for by the agency/adopting family. Erika

It doesn’t cost anything financially to abandon your child, but both you and the child has to pay for it with decades of psychological trauma.
I was abandoned to adoption at 7mths old. I didn’t have a bad adoption - my afamily are the best I could ever have chosen… but if I’d been able to choose, and I’d known then what I know now, I’d've chosen to be aborted before birth instead, ’cause at least that way the lifetime of agony I’ve gone through would’ve been over in minutes, instead of the decades that I’ve been suffering for now.
I’ve been in reunion with my bfam for a few months now, and even that’s proving to be completely agonising.
Taken from Nancy Verrier’s book, Coming Home to Self:
For the adoptee every day is a challenge of trying to figure out how to be, although he probably doesn’t understand the difficulty this presents for him. It has been true his whole life and, therefore, feels normal. However, it takes a great deal of energy and concentration. And it never feels quite right. He never quite fits. Therefore he feels as if /he/ is never quite right.
(pg 50)
Abandonment and neglect are reported to be the two most devastating experiences that children endure - even more devastating then sexual or physical abuse. That’s why some neglected children do naughty things to get attention. Even though the attention is hurtful - being yelled at, hit, or otherwise harmed - it is better than neglect. /Anything/ is better than abandonment. Abandonment is a child’s greatest fear. For adoptees, it is also reality, embedded in their implicit and unintegrated memory.
(pg 102)
It is sometimes difficult to spot grief in children. After all, it isn’t as if the child sits in a puddle of tears his entire childhood. As one adoptee said, “Of course I played, laughed, sang. Do people think that if you’re not sitting in a corner with your head on your knees, you are not sad? I had happy times, but the sadness was always there, even when I was having fun.”

Yes it is free you you to give up your baby, the adoptive parents will pay all lawyers fees etc. but i would suggest private adoption(friend, family), not an agency where they essentially sell your baby to the highest bidder Morales Familee

Yes its free. If you need adoptive parents send me an email I am on the list to adopt at this time. I would pay for all expenses related to the adoption. I am looking forward to becoming a parent again through adoption.
