BodyKiss: Why not advice too instead of barking?? No offence! @OP: Pls give it up for adoption, am not sure you 'ld be able to finance the "coming-soon-baby"! |

@OP, Fist of all the mistakes have been made,so what is the solution? You are 27 weeks gone and already contemplating giving out your baby for adopton? Is that the solution? Are you very sure in the future you will not want this baby back? Do not act on emotions,because I know you are so confused right now. Right now you claim the unborn babys daddy does not want anything to do with this child but what about in the future? Have you and yourr parents tried to have a sit down with your boy friends family on the way forward? Have either of you talked about getting a job? How old are you? And how old is your boy friend? I know you are pretty mixed up now,but you need to take a deep breath and think very deeply and carefully before even contemplating giving your baby away to strangers. A word is enough for the wise. 4 Likes |

Pls don't loose hope. It may be that the reality has just dawned on your boyfriend hence his fright. Hopefully he will come to his senses. Why adoption? Are you still in school? Your baby will need you most within the first six months to one year so I don't think adoption should be your first option. If you are still in school, you can consider deferring a session so you can continue after a year. Above all be optimistic and positive. 1 Like |

Yes Odunnu, all states have welfare offices at the local Government secretariate with qualified social workers. Due to budget constraint and bad Government Policies their activities are not highlighted and promoted so people can know where to turn to when they need help. |

Some of us don't seem to understand the unique way this adoption is. I think its, she gives the home the baby for a period of time on agreement and comes back for it when she is on her feet. This goes with payment for the home's support and care. Nobody will adopt the baby from the home, she will have custody of her baby after a passage of time 1 Like |

lovemychild: Am 27 weeks pregnant and i cant afford to take care of myself fianancialy cos i dont have anything doing yet. [b]I will not judge you... 1. Giving up your child for a ONE YEAR LEASE is not possible.. #SORRY!! Except your parents or relatives are involved, I doubt you will find anyone who will be willing to accept such an offer. Try though, you never know. 2. Giving up your baby for adoption does not make you a bad mom but a good one. Like I advise expentant mothers in my shrine, if you cant raise it, give it out for adoption, abort it or use it for ogwu ego.. (Just kidding with the last part).. However... There is a risk attached to giving out a baby for adoption and it is called UNCERTAINTIES!!! Some foster parents dont turn out to be as loving as one would hope. The fate of your child lies squarely in the hands of another. You may just have put that child in worse danger than you can ever imagine. The risk involved is unpredictable. Also, you may end up having mood swings every now and then if you arent strong enough. Adoption is a decision for very very strong willed people. Once done, there is almost never a second chance. 3. Think very well about your decision. Keeping the baby automatically opens you up to stigmatization (especially in Nigeria) from family and society. However keeping your baby might just be the best decision you can possibly make (ask some single moms). Also keeping the baby greatly reduces your future chances at marriage (#FACT!!), however it also greatly increases the chances of you giving your child a good life and care (a mothers care). 4. Many single mothers do end up atimes blaming their kids for whatever trouble that may befall them as a result of the kid. Becareful about this should you decide to keep the kid. Remember that it was not the kids choice to be born. In all, you need inner strenght and clearness of mind and thought. The decision is yours to make and not anybody elses.. I cant tell you what to do and neither can anyone else. The shoes are yours to wear and the pain is also going to be yours to bear. However note this; Adoption or not does not make you a bad person. There are many bad mothers out there already.. Good Luck.. #Okija Juju.. Okalla Mmadu, Okalla Mmuo.. [/b] 5 Likes |

Well, i just think that the OP is still too scared to think properly and 27weeks is a tad still early... Please you would have to think this through well enough. By all means go and find out what it takes to give babies up for adoption, but please do not sign contracts and its likes yet.. All you feel now isnt new, I would never advise you give your baby up for adoption to unknown people, im sure that as you progress with the pregnancy, feeling your baby breath and kick would make you have a re-think. Children are blessings from God. Pray through this times and ask that God guides you and give you direction. You are not a bad mother, Stay safe, sunnshyn |

@ OP, go the way of debrief08. There is nothing as bad as bringing a child into a life of uncertainties and hardship. I see so many women hang unto children they cannot feed, all in the name of 'I cant part with my child'. The children end up suffering for no reason except due to the ignorance and stubbornness of their parents. Also, if you can find a trustworthy family member of the guy's or yours who can watch over the baby till you land on your feet, then think about that approach too. I wish you the very best and know this; YOU ARE A GOOD MUM. Cos for even thinking about the welfare of your child in the first place and not blaming the unborn innocent for your mistake and the father's wickedness makes you better than most people. |

They won't take the child and give to anyone.the child stays in an orphange till the mother is ready to take him/ her This explains why there are so many kids in the orphanage who can't be adoptedn the kids given out are those with no known parents 2 Likes |

Fhemmmy: That she cant provide for the child now doesnt mean she wouldnt be able to provide later on in life? who knows what tomorrow brings? a job? The father of the child returning back to his senses and decides he was wrong and wants his child? Anything is possible! |
