    Yes. Our daughter's birthmom had no prenatal care.

    If you have decided to make an adoption plan, I encourage you to contact an agency or another type of adoption professional. They can help counsel you, and in many cases can help you find medical care in your state.

    You bet!

    I would also encourage you to contact an agency. Sometimes they can help you get seen by a doc or help you apply for aid that will cover some of the costs.

    I agree with all these posts..An agency can help you sort through many mazes over the next few months including medical care..

    This is for your health as well..

    Yes, absolutely!  I know that my husband and I would definitely consider adopting a baby without prenatal care, so I know that lots of other couples would, too.

    It might be helpful to get in touch with an agency that can help get you some medical coverage for pregnancy and delivery.

    Ditto pp's!  You should qualify for Medicaid through delivery.

    TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

    Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

    we did :)
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

    We did!! And didn't hesitate. I think there are other parents here that have also adopted a baby that has had zero medical care. 

    That being said, there are resources out there to help you I am sure! Please check into a crisis pregnancy center if there is one where you live, not even for the baby's sake, but for your own health, to make sure you are okay.

    Best wishes! 

    Ditto this!  I work at a pregnancy resource center, and while we wouldn't be able to offer medical care at this point, we could get you the paperwork you'd need to attend a free or low-cost clinic in the area.  We could also arrange for you to meet with a social worker to discuss adoption and ask any questions you might have.  If there's a center in your area, I'd highly recommend visiting!

    I think it depends on the family.  I did and had no problem with it...

    I know that my husband and I are open to all situations and are working with a lawyer to make sure that we can provide everything within the legal means to whoever we end up working with.  As someone else mentioned, you also probably qualify for medicaid and someone like our lawyer would help you with everything.  Please feel free to visit our website to read about us as well as to find our lawyers contact information.  Whatever you decide we wish you and your baby the very best!  www.deenaandjessesadoption.com

    I realize your heart is in the right place, but this is not the forum or the post for you to be pushing an agenda or your own desire for adoption.

    I am not pushing an agenda; She was asking for actual couples who would be willing to adopt a baby with her situation at hand and we are willing to.

    As were several of the other posters.

    The point is, though, that this is a forum for all members of the adoption triad to post about their experiences. 

    I could be wrong, but the general feeling of the board over the last several years is that first parents who post here for advice should not be "marketed to" by other posters.  It's one thing to tell her that yes, there are couples who adopt babies w/ no prenatal care. It's another thing entirely to send her the links to your adoption profile. Mothers choosing to make an adoption plan should feel comfortable posting here without feeling like people are going to pounce on them.

    I totally agree.  I am a bit disgusted that the OP received so many PM's.  Not cool.

    No, she was asking if it happened. She wasn't looking to match with PAPs on this board.

    And this may also be a violation of the TOU.
