My Adopted Baby

Iker Casillas asked:


I would like to know how easy (and likely) is it to give a baby in adoption. In other words, is it possible that no one will want a specific baby and therefore it will be impossible to give him/her in adoption (considering a normal and healthy baby)? Also, do you think families are less interested in babies born to a young couple (late teens - early 20s). Also, how expensive can the whole process be? I mean, for the couple who is giving the baby away. Are adopting families willing to cover some of the medical expenses related to the birth of the baby?

Thanks.

There is not enough incentive to help poor single mothers in the US to put their children up for adoption. Adoption agencies and lawyers make thousands off the deal, yet mothers are paid for “reasonable” medical expenses? What about reasonable “time and materials”? There has to be some way to help them, without creating a slavery situation. There is such a glut of children having children here, and yet we american’s need to go to russia and asia?

A co-worker of mine is in the process of adopting, and her and her husband arranged a private adoption with a young birthmom (legally and through a lawyer), in which they paid all her medical expenses, maternity costs, etc, with the understanding that the baby would be placed with them at birth. They even paid for the birthmom to see a therapist to make sure she was ok with adoption, etc etc. My co-worker was supposed to start maternity leave next week, (the baby was born 8 days ago, and they’ve spent every minute they can at the hospital with him) and came into work today in tears because her and her husband received a phone call this morning from their lawyer telling them the deal is off. l just started working with this lady, so l don’t know her that well, but l want to offer her some comfort. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think it’s unfair or wrong?
