My Adopted Baby

mariah asked:


i am seventeen years old and six months pregnant. i am giving my baby girl up for adoption and would love to read some poems about letting go.

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…
