"What if by chance there is that scared girl who doesn't know what to do and is embarrassed to go to her family or social services or doctor. Who better than to give her a written hug or courage to help her gain confidence to do what she wants to do?"

My reply,
Mommyinwaiting, what credentials do you have to counsel young girls? At the very least, you should refer them to their local crisis hotline. I do not think many of the potential hopeful adoptive parents here are going to counsel a young girl to do what she wants to do. They may, however, counsel a young girl to give them her child. Read through some of the old posts on this forum. There are plenty soliciting adoptions. Not many informing others of their many choices regarding unplanned pregnancy. These young girls can benefit from the advice of trained counseling professionals who do not have their own agenda. I think those of you who have a teenage daughter would not want them to seek advice from a stranger on the internet! ↓

My reply:
I have never said anything like that. I think it is better for scared women facing unplanned pregnancy to be counseled by trained objective individuals. Not strangers on the internet who have an agenda of their own--to meet and adopt through the internet. I think they deserve the right to be counseled about all of their options--including keeping the baby. ↑ |

"What if by chance there is that scared girl"
Right mommyinwaiting, what if there is that scared girl. That scared girl might make her situation worse if she takes the advice of internet strangers. She could also be influenced to make decisions she later regrets. I think if you happened to meet a scared girl facing unplanned pregnancy on this forum, you owe it to her to refer her to a crisis hotline if she is afraid to speak with her parents. They are trained to handle this, my guess is that you are not. ↑ |

What credentials do I have? I have no written credentials. I can only be here to lend a shoulder as a friend, listen when someone is afraid to go elsewhere, until "they" are good and ready to discuss their situation with their family, doctor, or counselor. By the way, my last adoption was thru a facilitator and the placing mother was 26 and single. I did not make her choice to place however, I have been fortunate to receive the joy of her placement.
Lucky why are you here? What do you have to do with adoption? You have been asked this question multiple times and you won't answer. The good and honest people are not here to persuade them to give up their children. However, there are alot of people here who have explored different aspects of adoption and are very kindly willing to share what they have learned. It seems to me, you are very negative and just trying to scare people, I can't figure out why you would do this. ↑ |

| Copying and pasting is allowed. You do not own the rights to information that you post in public forums. I guess that is another danger of the internet! ↑ |

Luckey,
It is just annoying! Yes, it is allowed, but it doesn't stop the fact it gets under people's skin. ↑ |
