Need parents to adopt baby

[ChelseaBelle]

My best friend asked me to post this here. She is 19 years old and is pregnant
(first pregnancy), and not ready to raise a child. She and her boyfriend have
heard bad stories about adoption agencies and want to try to find adoptive
parents for the baby on their own. We know a girl who was able to find really
great parents to adopt her baby over the internet, and my friend is hoping
she'll have the same luck. The baby is due in 3 months and everything seems to
be going really smoothly. My friend takes good care of herself and is a really
pretty and smart girl. I think that whoever gets to adopt her baby will be
really lucky. They don't know if the baby is a girl or a boy. My friend has
light brown hair and blue eyes and her boyfriend has blond hair and blue eyes.
They're both tall and thin. They both live with their parents who know that
they want to choose adoption and the families are okay with that. Everyone
wants the baby to have the very best start in life. They're not exactly sure
what type of adoptive parents they want for the baby, but they do know that
they want a married couple who has a happy marriage and who can't have children
themselves. They hope to find a couple who can arrange their work schedules so
the baby does not have to be in daycare, since this is one of the reasons they
aren't keeping the baby themselves. They really want the baby to be loved and
surrounded by family all the time. If you are hoping to adopt a baby or know
someone who is, please e-mail me and I will pass all e-mails onto my friend.
She has an e-mail address herself, but is not comfortable with posting this
herself. I hope that the right mommy and daddy are out there for this very
special baby.

We are a professional couple (physician and bank senior executive) in
Florida who
want to adopt a baby. We are both 42 years old, have no children, and
can afford to give a child every advantage in life. We are very
family-oriented and
pray daily that somehow we will be able to have a baby of our own--this
would
make our lives complete. Also, one of us is committed to leaving our career
to be
a full-time parent. We would be very interested in pursuing this opportunity
with
your friend. Please email me at mar...@fair.net. Thank you.

Adoption agencies are not a bad thing - your friend should research some
of them. A lot of them allow the birth mother to choose and meet the
adoptive parents. Prospective adoptive couples are thoroughly
screened/interviewed in a home study by agencies - I think this way
everyone feels at peace about the adoption and it is protective of
everyone involved.
As desperately as we want children, I would not feel comfortable
"getting" a baby via the Internet, and certainly if I were in your
friend's shoes I definitely would not feel comfortable finding a couple
via the Internet (how would she know *who* these people actually were!?)
One reputable agency that has been around for 100 yrs is the Gladney
Ctr. in TX (817-922-6000 also have a website) - they might even point
you to other such agencies locally.
Good luck,
Tammy

I hope that Chelsea's friend keeps an open mind, (r.e. Rikjac). Although I
agree that she should
be cautious, my husband and I would be willing to do whatever it takes to
make sure she knows "who we actually are" so that she would feel
"comfortable"
that she is not making a mistake by using the Internet to connect with a
couple
capable of providing a good home for her baby.

My husband and I have been pursuing infertility treatment for about 5 years.
Over the past year we have had 3 miscarriages. Before we even knew we would
have an infertility problem we had decided that we would adopt as well as have
biological children. We have decided to pursue adoption now as a way of having
the family we had planned for so long ago. My husband is 28, I am 27 and we
have been married for 6 years. He is an electrical engineer and I stay home to
care for and homeschool an 11 year old girl that we are legal guardians of
after having had her in foster care. I also am working on writing a novel. My
husband is very athletic and plays softball and ice hockey. I like to write,
read, sing and work in our garden. We have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a turtle to
round out our happy home. We would be very interested in talking more about
adopting this baby and would be very happy to provide any additional
information that was needed.

I do not know this guy that's emailing you but we are very interested in
adopting a baby with your friend. I am 38yrs and my husband is 34yrs and we
have been trying to conceive for 4yrs now and to no avail. We are also
trying to adopt a baby. We are a Christian oriented family and my husband
works as a mechanic with Ryder Truck. I have my own parttime business in
Mary Kay cosmetics and stay at home. We have been happily married for going
on nine years. We feel very strong about my staying at home when we do
adopt a child. My husband is from a very big family so the baby would be
surrounded by lots of nieces and nephews. So please email me for more
information cause I can provide a letter on my husband and I. We would be
more than happy to meet with the birthmom and dad. God Bless you and I
think that is very unselfish of them both to give of their best.

Please be careful folks. If it sounds too good to be true...

Chelseabelle's post sounds an awful lot like a facilitator I am
all too familiar with. This unethical facilitator poses and sometimes
posts as a potential birth mother in various newsgroups and bulletin
boards. By doing this, she gets the names of potential adoptive parents
willing to work with a facilitator rather than an agency. Free
advertising. And, truly *no disrespect meant*, what better newsgroup to
post in.

My question to each reader is this: Do you really think a young woman
considering placing her child for adoption is going to try to find
adoptive parents through an adoption newgroup on the internet?

While I can't prove that Chelseabelle is the facilitator in question, I
highly doubt that this post is for real.

One Who Knows

ps. If I am off base and Chelseabelle is legit, I'm sure you will
understand my intent to protect the ng from an unscrupulous operator.

Does anyone know Tobusy2...@worldnet.att.net? I've been getting very weird
and troubling e-mails from him. I assume it's a him because it sounds like
male anger! I posted a message trying to help my friend find adoptive parents
for her baby and this guy is giving me a hard time calling me a baby broker!

Hello ChelseaBelle,

Hello ChelseBelle,

[PegOB99]

Hello,
I have the perfect parents for your best friends baby. My girlfriend and
her husband desperately want a baby of their own. They have tried to have a
baby for quite some time , and spent alot of money in the process trying. They
are a happily married couple with a beautiful home, and are very down to earth
people. They get along great , and the only thing missing in their life is a
child of their own. I can assure you that they would love the baby no-matter
if it is a girl or boy. They would give the child a great future and love it
as if it was there own child. They are wonderful with children, and my
children love visiting them as most of the children in their neighborhood do.
The children don't want to go home, because they
have alot of fun with them. I am very pickie about who watches my children(
you have to be these days, but never do I worry when my children are with them.
I can assure you the baby would grow up with alot of love and attention.
They own their own home and live in a great neighborhood with children. They
have a pool and already alot of children's toys for the kids in the
neighborhood. Please go no farther looking for wonderful parent's they are
right here before your eyes!!!!
My e-mail address is Peg...@aol.com.
They would gladly love to meet the parents anytime. They are white causasian.
They would send the child to very good schools and Mindy would be a stay at
home Mom. They want the child to have all the advantages of A stable home and
they can afford Mindy not to work. Please talk to them and e-mail me back
asap. They live in Bricktown ,NJ
Their phone is 732-458-5309.
I look forward to hearing from you as I hate to see them so sad. Please call.
Thank You , Peg

[PegOB99]

Hi, it's me again!!
I am so excited I can't wait to tell my friend about you trying to help
your friend find her baby the best home possible.
I have known Mindy and Mike for over 10
years. They also happen to be my brother's next store neighbors. They have
been the best neighbors as well as friends as my brother has been through a
hard time with his little girl the last couple of years. My brother's wife
left him for another man , and thanks to Mindy and Mikes help my brother has
meals when
times were hard, because that is the kind of people they are. They have helped
teach my niece so many things . They have hearts of gold.
hopr to hear from you soon. Thanks again, Peg

Many adoptions have been successful without the use of an adoption
agency, but I recommend those who want to go this route read the book
THE BABY CHASE by Tony Kornheiser.

Good luck

<<Please be careful folks. If it sounds too good to be true...>>

I agree that it deserves caution, but not automatic dismissal. There IS indeed
an unscrupulous adoption facilitator on these boards (Marcy, hon, you know who
you are). But I personally know three couples who really did find their
children's birthmothers over the internet, so it can and does happen. Like
with any internet relationship, it deserves great caution, and the involvement
of either an attorney or agency.

I am getting flooded with e-mails and just wanted to send out a public note
saying that I'm passing all these e-mails on to my friend and asking her to
respond directly. Just wanted to let you know, so no one thinks that their
e-mails are being ignored.

As for those of you who are sending me rude e-mails, those are being deleted.
My friend is going through a hard enough time without realizing that some
people don't even think she's real. She's very real to me and so are her
feelings.

[Suznbrown]

Dear Chelseabel:
I to am helping out two friends, who are having a difficult time. One has
attempted about 12 times to have a baby through ivf, and the other has had
problems also. Has that precious unborn baby found a home yet? Please e-mail
me separately at Suzn...@aol.com

[Nancy Liedel]

Adoption is wonderful. I have two beautiful adopted boys... I also lost a
baby at 5 months gestation so I know the pain of infertility. I know how
desperate you can be.

Be very very careful before you adopt. Talk out everything. Our youngest,
Steven, has some medical problems which were not discernable at birth. We
adore him and are very blessed to have him. Some stupid relatives however
have made comments about not getting a "perfect child".. Before you adopt
think about all the things that could go wrong... and right.. and think
think think.. Then.. go through an agency... a GOOD ONE!!

Best of luck to your friends Chelseabel..

Hi I am new to this message board as of last night and i
just saw your post. I think it wonderful the way you are
helping your friend! My husband and i were reading the
posts here together and when we read your's we both said at
the same time lets respond! We have been married for 4
years and have been trying to concieve for 2 1/2 years with
no luck. We have offten talked about addoption. And we feel
that what ever we end up doing concieving or if we adopt
(it doesnt matter to us) we would just like to have
children! We have been going threw infertility treatments
off and on because we feel it is something we can try to
participate in and try to help our IF problems. We have
been draging our heals on persuing addoption because we
have heard horror stories about people spending $50,000 and
more and still not getting a child. So many people trying
to take advantage out there. But we were both very excited
to read you post. We both work, have good jobs, and make
good money. We have spent several years saving money so
that when we do have children I can stay home to raise
them. We moved to a some-what rural communite with good
schools, and lots of children in the neiborhood, in
preperation to have children. We own our own home with a
very nice yard, we have a dog and 2 cats. We even have a
bedroom that is just waiting to be turned into a nursury. I
am 31 years old and my husband is 28, even though we have
only been married for four years we lived together for 5
years before we got married, so we have been in a long,
stable, and very happy relationship. We would be very
interested to hear from you, please contact me at
sapph...@aol.com. No matter who you choose to go with I
wish you the best of luck in finding a happy, safe, and
stable home enviroment for your child.

Hi my name is Michelle, I am new to the message boards and
just saw your post about your friends baby up for adoption.
My husband and I were reading the posts together and we
both said at the same time, "lets respond!" We have been
trying to conceive for 2 1/2 years with no luck. Right now
we are pursuing infertility treatments because we feel it
is somthing we can participate in to try to resolve or
infertility difficulties. We have often discussed adoption
and are very interested in it. But to be truthful we have
been dragging our heels on pursuing it because we have
heard about so many people getting burned, i.e., spending
$50,000 and more and still not getting a child. There are a
lot of people out there looking to take advantage! I am 31
and my husband is 28, we lived together for 5 years and now
have been married for 4 years. We have moved to a somewhat
rural community, with good schools, and lots of kids in the
neighborhood, in preperation to have children. We also
moved to the area we are in so that when we do have
children my husbands family will be close and can be a big
influence on their lives, (many members in his family are
in the local school systems, i.e., teachers, special
education, principal, etc) We felt they would be able to
provide invauluable information and guidance. We own our
own home with a nice yard on a residential street, and an x-
tra bedroom just waiting to be turned into a nursery. We
have a dog, and 2 cats, and lots of neighborhood children
always coming over to play. As I stated before we have been
together for 9 years and have a very stable, loving, and
happy relationship, which would be a great environment to
raise a child in. We both work and have very good jobs, and

make good money. We have spent several years saving money

so that when we are blessed with children I will be able to
stay at home to raise them. My husband has also made a
career change to enable him to have more time at home to be
with me and hopfully soon our child. I would love to hear
from you and would be willing to answer any questions you
may have for me. Please contact me at sapph...@aol.com.
Who ever you choose to be the parents for your child I wish
you all the best of luck in finding a healthy, happy, safe,
and loving home for your child.

replied in a post saying that the potential parents have been chosen by
the birthmother and already contacted...Didn't want you getting your hopes

I know that there are a lot of people out there that
would like to adopt your friend's baby. That's great!
Make sure that your friend takes the time to really get to
know the adoptive parents.
I also know two couples that would like to adopt your
friend's baby. The one couple is my sister and her
husband. They have been on the Minnesota Catholic Dioceses
Adoption waiting list for close to a year. Your friend
should check that agency out. The parents get to select
the adoptive parents through interviews and a picture
biography. The other couple has a two year old adoptive
daughter that would like another child.
Thirdly my husband and I are looking to adopt because we
having been trying for a child for over a year.
My self as well as the people mentioned above are
willing to meet with your friend and discuss any
possibilites about adoption. Here is my E-Mail address:
MZ...@Aol.com
I hope your friend has a healthy baby. Tell her that
she is in my prayers.

My partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, i contacted him at this email; fiokporspir...@gmail.com , for him to help, then i told him our problem, he told me that i will either conceive in June 2013 or July 2013,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad i came to Dr fiorkpor, Because he predictions put us at ease, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. after few weeks the doctor confirm that i am pregnant thank you DR Fiokpor for helping us get a baby. he can cast any spell you need, either to cure any sickness, Divorce, Ex back, good job and so onnn
