Adoption Feedback: Absolutely! I adopted a CP child and I love her with all my heart. Go to an private adoption agency and pick the parents for your child from their long list of prospective parents. God bless your choice.

Adoption Feedback: there are lots of parents who want to adopt a new born, doesn’t matter the special needs the child might have.

Just wanted also to make sure that people who might read this post and get interested to be careful with scams. they are very usual in the adoption world and although this person who is writing this question seems very honest, there are still lots of people who are not

Adoption Feedback: I truly hope you elect to give the child life. Consider the fact that your own words stated that this is a miracle child to begin with. This is a message for you both. Your age does present the possibilty of something going awry but it does not gaurantee it either.

I have put a link in the sources section for you to see just how many people have adopted a special needs child from China. A completely different country! And there are more waiting for the next list to be released for adoption too. This tells you that it is possible.

I am an adoptive parent with 2 biological boys as well. There truly are so many couples who would love to have more children. The process and the paperwork is so exhausting, and yet we do it. It was so easy to have my bio children, but adopting–I have never been so scrutinized, and had every piece of personal paperwork provided, as well as photos of our home, & in home visits by a social worker. If a couple is willing to go through that daunting process then please give them an opportunity to provide your child with a home and a life.

Wishing you the best on your decision.

Adoption Feedback: I want the baby! We’ve been trying for four years and working with various adoption agencies for going on two years now. We’re open to a lot of special needs and such. And any baby could come out as special needs. Your age is a factor, making this a possibility, but younger people have children with issues, too.

Adoption Feedback: If you want the baby you should have it. It is your body so it is your decision. I don’t think you should assume that your baby will be special needs just because you are 40. Your baby could be perfectly healthy and a real blessing to you. People will adopt a baby special needs or not because there are so many of us that are aching for a baby but have not been able to have one. Good luck.

P.S. I would also dump the BF

Adoption Feedback: You are jumping to conclusions. Along with the tests you can get that the other posters mentioned you may also want to get a test to see if you are lacking in any vitamins and minerals. Many women are having babies later in life. I personally am aware of hundreds of woman in my lifetime who have had children in their 40’s and they were healthy beautiful babies. Please, make the decision based off of your feelings on this, not your boyfriends. If you and your man break up down the road, will you regret having an abortion or giving your baby up? If the answer is yes then think hard about this decision.
