Would it best to give this child up for adoption?
I met my daughter when she was 17. I never knew I had a daughter before her and she was pregnant and alone when I met her. She was raised by her mother who was also a drug addict and my high school girlfriend. My daughter is a hardcore drug addict. My wife and I have tried with all our mights to help her in every possible way. We've tried rehab several times, calling the police, God only knows how many interventions, poured thousands of dollars into her treatments, but we can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped and she's made it damn clear she only cares about having sex and getting high. She has 7 kids and she's never been in any of their lives. The 2 oldest are in therapy to deal with the emotional issues they have due to her abandonment. She's also pregnant now and due next month. She's lost her rights to all the children and doesn't seem to care. She's told us she doesn't care about the children and wants to do what she wants. After she had the first child, a cycle of her getting pregnant, needing a place to stay, having the baby, and then leaving started. She basically has these kids and drops them off here, like we're a permanent day care. They're our grandchildren so we take care of them, but we just can't afford it. Our oldest grand daughter also has cerebral palsy. Also, we were in a legal battle with our 2 year old grandson's father. He wanted custody and lives in another country. We didn't want the family broken up and we took care of little Michael the first 13 months of his life, without his father's help and trust me, we BEGGED this man to help. None of the the other children's father are around or known and he refused to be in the baby's life until he got married and had another kid and decided he wanted Michael in his life. We lost custody and now Michael lives in Europe and the father refuses to have anything to do with us and has even said Michael will grow up thinking his step mom is his mother. Between all this and our other bills, we cannot afford another child. We are barely surviving now. I've tried speaking to my daughter, but she just doesn't care. I hate the thought of losing another grand baby but there's no other choice. My wife won't listen though. She wants this baby with us. She says she refuses to lose another after Michael. We're this close to losing our house. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to lose this child, but we have nothing to give it. Sometimes, I just don't want to wake up anymore.

Does anyone out there feel like this about adoption?
I'm 13 and I was adopted when I was a baby, My parents aren't showing me the love that I need, they never act liked they care about anything good thing that I do and I got the chance to actually meet my real mother and she act like she doesn't really want anything to do with me. At school the kids make me feel bad about being adopted because they say bad things about me and bad things about being adopted. This is hurting me so much because I have no love in my life, everybody seem like its a bad thing to have me around. I don't know why my life is so messed up and empty. I just wanted to know does anybody else feel like this.
If a father signs adoption papers so step-dad can adopt, are they final or can they be over turned?
My husband has a 6 yr old daughter. He and her mother were never married and have kind of a messy history but we are all friends now. A couple years ago she was getting married and asked my husband to sign adoption papers so the daughter could have the same last name as them she at the time had mother's maiden name . He signed them not thinking much of it and trying to be cooperative, but now wishes he didn't. Is there anything that he can do legally. He doesn't mind the name change so much, but we are really working on building a relationship with her and he regrets signing the papers every time she is with us.He doesn't mind her having their last name...he just wishes he didn't sign the papers. I think he is hoping that we can get her more often and even work up to holidays, but every time we take her home he makes a comment about wishing he didn't sign the papers.

I want to give up my children for adoption. How would I go about doing that?
My children 11, 9, and 5 years old.My wife passed away 3 years ago March 9th, 2009 at 9 38am..septic shock My story I am a veteran and served two tours in Iraq and once in Afghanistan. I have been extremely lucky in many situations and I thank God for that.I was married to my soul mate..my lover. We had children because she wanted them. I, on the other hand, didn't want them but I did that for her. With her gone, it has been a very difficult time raising the kids.I have gone through several nannies live ins as well but the cost outweighed the benefits. My family and hers for that matter have not been helpful in the least.I have finally come to a decision that I do not want to raise these kids any more. I hate kids. I am sick and tired of having to wake up, feed them, bathe them, get them dressed for daycare, etc. I am tired of not being able to socialize or go out on a planned date because the " babysitter" got sick. I am also tired of beating them when they steal, poop every where, etc.How can I get rid of them? How much will it cost me? David STFU, you ASSHOLE Jordan Lol, I tried that. I called them first and they said that the law allows only children from infants to 3 years old at fire stations and hospitals.

I'm 14, and my mom might give me up for adoption?
Well, I'd like to start off that my mom and I haven't had a very good relationship for about a year now. She says hurtful things, and I do say hurtful things back. So, it's been particularly bad the past week or two. She's been making me stay home during field trips, and I haven't been able to go out and hang out with my friends for about 2 months now.I have a sleeping disorder where I can't wake up to an alarm, and sometimes even people. Today, I woke up particularly late. I was trying to hurry up, and get ready, and all of a sudden she came running upstairs, and pushed open the door really quick Mind you I was naked, brushing my teeth in the bathroom and she grabbed the toothbrush out of my hand, snapped it, and then threw it under the sink. She then dragged me into my room and kept slapping me, pushing me, etc. And I fell onto the ground a few times as she continued to slap me, She then made me put on a shirt, and then pushed me down the stairs. It was pretty chilly outside, and she wouldn't let me get a jacket or my stuff for school. I had wet hair, my teeth weren't brushed, and my shoes weren't on, so I wasn't really ready for school. As I was running to the car, she screamed really loud for all the neighbors to hear, " You have something SERIOUSLY wrong with you " On the way to school, she kept saying things like " I can't WAIT until you move out," and " You're just a bunch of drama. I have 2 other kids who are much better." After school, she made me go buy a new toothbrush I do have chores and get a very small monthly allowance. I must pay for my food, field trips, clothing, and anything else I might need for school. I only get $40 a month to do all this, and gets hard just to do that. Once we got home, she told me to not ask her for anything ever again, and to not talk to my sisters anymore. She pretty much just cut me off too.This morning, my sister came barging into my room demanding I let her look through my closet to see if I have any jeans of hers, or if I have any jeans of my own that will fit her. After refusing, she walked away, yelling, " I hate you " and " You're a freakin' jerk " My sister walked downstairs and started crying because she didn't have any pants, so my mom called me downstairs. Once I got downstairs, my mother made me stand there while my sister was upstairs ransacking my closet, looking for jeans. This really frustrated me, because I felt like they set me up.Once my sister came downstairs, my mom kept yelling at me about how she " thinks I have more jeans up there." I calmly explained that I don't have any jeans, and she smacked me really hard on my left cheek and told me not to talk back. I just gave up and I said she could have my last pair of jeans that fit me, even though I needed them really bad, as I have to go work at my school tomorrow. Today, after school, my mom told me these exact things, quote for quote " You're right, I don't want you to be a member of this family." " You are a GUEST of this house." " You can live in a group home, I don't give a sh t. Your dad and I are over it." " I have 2 other daughters, who are fine and perfect." I swear. I'm really shocked she honestly doesn't care.I'm really afraid she's right, and that I do have something seriously wrong with me, I'm afraid someday when I get married my husband will want to divorce me or something because he thinks I'm crazy, or that I won't be able to get a good job, or excel in college. I have great grades, and I know I'm pretty smart, but maybe all that's no use because I have a personality disorder is something. I don't think I'm a perfect person, but I think I'm an OKAY person. I've never gotten in trouble at school.Never done drugs, never cheated, never even kissed a guy, never stolen anything, generally nice to everyone, so I don't see why she hates me so much. I'm really scared for what's to come, and that I won't be able to do anything in life because I'm a terrible person or something.Staying with family isn't an option. She got in a fight with the whole family, and I have no contact with them. I don't want to call the police, I do love her. I want us to be okay, and to have that relationship my friend has with her mom. Will some moms really falsely accuse their daughters, or are they usually correct?Also, what will happen if I do end up getting put up for adoption? Will they let me take my iPod, and Laptop, which were gifts from my grandmother? What personal items will they let me take? Will they let me go to my same school? I go to a Montessori Charter school, it's free, but it's not the run of the mill high school. Please tell me everything you know about group homes.Will some mo
