Pregnancy - Teens Support Group
This community is dedicated to the experience of being pregnant as a teenager. Pregnant teenagers face many of the same obstetrics issues as women in their 20s and 30s. However, there are additional medical concerns for younger mothers, particularly those under 15 and those living in developing countries.

Hi. I'm 29 years old and have two children (2 and almost 6 years). My husband and I are finishing up an open adoption, but have yet to be chosen by a birthmom. Just wondering is there anything you'd want an adoptive mom or dad to know (assuming you can even relate to possibly making a birth plan that includes adoptive parents)? Thanks in advance.
I guess if I was thinking about adoption I would want to choose an honest and open family that was willing to work with me on medical costs and everything like that. I would also want someone who has been married for a length of time and had a stable job and home life. I would just want a positive environment for my child to grow up in I guess.
I think adoptive parents just need to make sure that they can offer everything that the birth mother is looking for since she can't provide it to the child herself.
Good Luck
-I would want to know your reason for wanting to adopt
-I'd also want to feel ensured that I could have contact with the
parents through email and be able to see the child so I could feel good in my choice.
- I'd want to see the commitment you and your husben have with each other
- and I'd want to be ensure that you are finachally stable for a child
Will they be financially stable?
Are there other children?
What type of jobs do they have?
Where to live or plan on living?
