Adoption
Intro! TTC and hopefully adopting.
Hi ladies!
I'm a mother of a sweet 11 mo, but it took us a long while to conceive because of an issue. We are ttc again and not sure how long this go around will take. We will keep trying and accept every baby we are blessed with! That said..
There is a mama I'm friends with (only through facebook somehow) who is giving her baby #2 up for adoption, dd is in 3-4 months. I've contacted her and she is going through an agency because of bf being a ticking bomb and everyone else that knows her can't afford the agency. And BF just got out of jail yesterday and he is in Vegas partying, so BM is waiting for him to sign papers. She believes he might magically show up when the baby is born like he thinks he's been america's best dad. She seems far over him.. And I find myself wishing he stays a bad person so I can have a new addition to my family. I'm not like this.. I fostered two littles a year ago and was happy bm got her act together and was able to get her babies back. So now, I hope that we can maintain a decent open adoption with bm only. I'm very new to adoption research so idk if it's possible to cut off BF.
All that aside, I want to also mention I'm a chewy (getting crunchy) mama, my biggest granolas are my cloth diapers and I breastfeed, hope to continue for the potential new member! I believe that will help baby and me bond, it would be nutritionally beneficial, and it will save us lots o' moolah.
I can't wait to get to know you all better, and good luck in your baby ventures!

I think you'll enjoy the best board on the bump!
She has signed papers, just waiting on the father. Also: "giving up for adoption" we're her words, so that's what I used to relay info. We would be going the open adoption route if she does decide that is the best option for her so I have respect as she is a hard working mama already.
