baby adoption
Vanessa M asked:


I’m 27 weeks pregnant and considering adoption for my baby. My husband and I have been married for 4 years. We’re not financially ready to have a baby. We live below the poverty line, neither of us work. Not because of not wanting to, but there are no jobs where we live and don’t have the resources to move. The best job my husband could find was $6/hr at Krogers. It doesn’t pay our bills. I worked retail for a while, but quit when I had problems with my pregnancy. My hubby and I both grew up in poverty and have not really been able to escape it. It’s like a viscious cycle. It’s a horrible life for a child. I’m scared of adoption because I feel very attached to my baby, even though I know it is probably in his best interest. How would I even present this idea to my husband? Should I even do it? Are there other options?
We’re in the process of getting rid of things we can live without, like tv, internet, etc. I’m already on WIC.
we can’t afford to move and have no help. we already receive govt assistance.
