My Adopted Baby

Samairi asked:


it has been almost a year and i dont know how or why i gave my son up alot of pressure from alot of people i guess. I heard from someone that they heard of someone who was able to win their child back but i dont know if it was true or not. Please only respond to this if you know what your talking about.

My friends and I were talking about this one day.

The reason that some women give for having abortions is that they do not want to give up a baby for adoption, only to have them suddenly appear in their lives years later, without caring what this “blast from the past” will do to their present lives.

If a current (I guess as of the time of the child’s birth) health history of the birth giver is given, do you think the birth giver should have the right to have it said in the records that she wants no contact ever? What about in the case of rape? Should the birth giver be allowed to have it in the records that the child is a product of a rape, therefore she does not want the person coming back and digging up painful memories?

We are adopting a baby and will probably bring him home at around 6 months old. Seems like the infant carrier car seats will not last long enough to justify. What is the best brand/model of carseat I can get for him? The one with the best track record and level of comfort?
ADDENDUM…The only reason I specified “adopted” was because i won’t have him until he is six months old. I didn’t realize my wording would cause such a commotion. I meant no offense. I have 11 other children, 9 of them were adopted but over 4 years old. I haven’t bought a car seat in over 20 years and I just want to make sure I am getting him the best and the right kind. I guess I could have left out the word “adopted”, but what is wrong with being adopted? In our house “adopted” and “normal” are pretty much the same thing… This is my first question on this thing…I wasn’t expecting hostility over a carseat question…
