| Name: zachary | Date: May 7th, 2007 8:00 PM |
| My name is Zachary I am a single heterosexual male, with an eleven year old son. He is my pride and joy. I have joint legal joint physical custody of him (Josh). I named him after his uncle who was still born and his mothers grandfather who passed away before he was born. I attended every doctor’s apt. of his from the first check up to his last shots. I am very lucky that he is very health, so he does not get to see his doctor much, only for check ups. I have a great pediatrician, which Josh has seen since birth. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I am 32 years young. I live in an apt. for the past 3 years and plan on buying a home in the near future. I have two pugs Sasha and Max, which are spoiled rotten, and don’t know that they are dogs. My parents live 30 min. from me and we visit them every other weekend. They live in the country on 12 Acers. My father is an avid hunter and fisherman. I used to hunt and fish when I was younger, but now I only do it from time to time. My son is just starting to get into hunting and will be deer hunting this winter. I have a younger brother who is married to his high school sweet heart. He works in a factory and she is a middle school teacher. I graduated from college in 2006 with a B.B.A. with a major in Management of Information Technology. It took me 14 years to do it but I did and very proud of it. I am currently laid off, but I am not worried about finding another job. My son is spoiled but he does not act like it at all. He goes to private catholic school. As far as discipline I use the time out method and nose in the corner. If he did something that could of really hurt him I would consider spanking. I do not make any decisions right on the spot; I have to think every thing threw. I encourage him to get involved in anything he wants to as long as the grades are good. He is plays basketball and soccer, and is in scouts and plays the drums. I hope you do consider me as a potential parent for your baby. I am an open book so please feel free to ask me anything. I wish you the best of luck and hope to hear back for you soon. Please write me at [email protected] Zachary Harrison PS I live in Michigan ↑ |

| I know you have alot of decisions and thinking to do. I know its a tough situation but think of it this way if it helps, you are about to give the greatest gift to a couple, there is no words really to express the emotion when recieving such a treasure. I see you've been getting alot of post for your child and my husband and I are looking to adopt, we are in our mid 30's. We have been married for a few years now and are wanting to expand our family. We live in New Jersey as we own a nice home on almost a acre of land. I'm unable to have children of mine own but I would love and open my heart to another child just as much. I would also be a stay at home mom.. We would like to have the birth family part of the childs life as we would want them to know their background, but would respect the birthparents wishes either way. We are a very close net family as we are always there to help one another as well as taking trips together. . We are big animal lovers as we have 3 cats, and I volunteer at the shelters during the week. My husband is a hardworker as he is a tech at mercedes benz, a jack of all trades, a singer and musican. I am also a musican, painter and I love to draw. We have so much to offer a child that is brought into our life as we have everything we want but a child to love. . If you'd like to talk my email is [email protected] hope to hear from you. I can send a pic if you'd like to see. ↑ |

| Me and my husband had been trying for over 6yrs ( natural birth) - then I had to have a emergency hysterectomy, so we thought about adoption then another 6 yrs ago passed, we are still wanting a baby- Many people don't understand our struggle. I have had 3 women in this time contact me through friends or family members to tell us they are pregnant and can't afford anther baby or they was too young or they already had 3kids and another would be a strain, but they all kept their babies, 1 kept her baby because the social worker told her she would no longer get state assistance if she gave the baby up, I saw her a few months ago and she asked me to be her sons Godmother-she said that the state stopped her assistance and times were very hard for her, ( I helped her with a few things) then I had to stay my distance, 1 family stepped in and told the birth mother "we will help you - keep the baby in the family" and now today she hasn't got any help and she is struggling trying to working two jobs. The last one broke my heart, she gave the baby to us for 2months, we provided a home, love and care during these months. In my home there is clothing for the baby ( newborn -12mths) there are shoes ( newborn -size2) there is a bassinet, a six department rack full of sleepers,t shirts,bibs,hats, socks, etc.. We have 4 packs of size 1 diapers (286) so have a bouncer and carrier, 80% of all goods are new because after all this she wanted the baby back, I have been told by their family or people that know her that - she is back with the baby father ( who said he didn't want anything to do with her or the baby and his mother also) she thinks keeping the baby will help her - also she wants to keep the baby in the family ( her sister has the baby now so she is still not truly raising her baby) by the way this birth mother was 14yrs old. I tried to talk to her, when I went to meet her she was hanging out at a local teen spot with the baby at almost midnight, she was riding in a car holding the baby without carrier or car seat. I sit back and I look over all the things we bought to prepare us for this baby and I made peace that when God gives me the next baby I will be prepared and I will love them and hold them close to my heart - cause when God give a baby to you, the baby is yours...... I never tried to search for a baby or a birth mother who were thinking of placing their baby with a family - these 3 women came to me willingly, My sister told me to try to reach out on the internet - on forums wherever I could reach someone to get help or information - she said there are so many women out here that can't take care of their babies- so many women that are thinking of abortion ( which is their right) I don't believe in it because there are women out here like me. So now I am trying to see what God has for us...... Profile Facts Married ( 12yrs 1 mth) Both 33yrs old Christians Husband ( 1 son ) prior to marriage Wife ( 0) Live by the beach and park in a 2 bedroom-2 bath apartment Both Work Can provide character references upon request Wife ( unable to have children -total hysterectomy) Looking to Adopt a AA or BR baby girl ( as we are already prepare for a baby girl) Agree to Open Adoption ( will send letters and photos of child progress) Will Travel up to 6hr drive to baby/birth mother to finalize and be present for labor and delivery ↑ |

| Melanie, Keeping your baby is not selfish If the people who wanted to take your baby were unselfish, they'd help you keep your baby. instead of trying to talk you out of raising your own flesh and blood. You are your babies mother.. The people who want your baby are vultures. Let us help you find resources. ↑ |

| My name is Lara and my husbands name is Daniel. We've been together for 5 1/2 years. I grew up in a very small town, not even 600 people in my highschool. I love my hometown and my family. Famil is something you could never replace. I love kids and have been wanting children for some time now. Ever since I was little I wanted to be a mommy and now I'm scared it might not happen. My husband moved to my hometown when he was 9. He is now in the united states air force and only 2 classes away from becoming an officer. He is the most gentle loving man I have ever met. If you would like you can email me at [email protected] We can chat so you can get to know us and I will even send you some pics of us. I hope to hear from you very soon! ↑ |

| Dear Melanie, Being pregnant and having a baby can be very frightening and is a VERY vulnerable time for any woman. We ALL need support to become mothers. Give yourself and your daughter that chance. You are young but you are not too young to have your baby and raise her. ALL mothers need support. With support YOU can do this. Do not think for a moment that because you are young or your life is complicated and you don't know where to turn that your baby does not need YOU. You are the centre of your baby's world. Your baby knows YOUR voice, YOUR smell, YOUR rhythm. She will desperately need YOU and love you when she is born. Melanie, don't think that because your life is complicated and you don't see a way out at the moment that you will be making things better for yourself or your daughter by surrendering her to adoption. Separation is deeply traumatic for both infant and mother and has life-long consequences for both. At this time you cannot yet know how deep your bond with your daughter already is. Please give yourself and your daughter a chance. There are many people here who will try to persuade you to give your baby to them to raise. They will tell you that this is the unselfish choice and "best" for you and your baby...They are NOT telling you this because they wish to help you and your baby. They are lookng to help themselves TO your baby. Melanie, in many other countries, it is not even legal for prospective adoptive parents to have contact with moms-be because it is recognized that this kind of contact is coercive; this kind of contact before your baby is born and before you have spent time with her after she is born is manipulative and dangerous. You cannot know now how strong your bond with your baby will be. That will become obvious to you after birth, but if by then you feel you have "promised" your baby to a couple, it could then be too late. Martu has invited you to come to adoptioncrossroads.org to talk with mothers of adoption loss and adoptees about their experiences. This is good advice. There is help for to KEEP your baby and for you to stay together and grow strong together. YOU CAN DO IT. I would suggest too that perhaps you talk to people on the single parents forum. Don't sell yourself short. YOU are your baby's mother, and your baby needs YOU; no substitute will ever be better than YOU. Here is a link to support website for teen moms and teen moms-to-be: http://teenmoms.ourfamily.com/ Melanie, please talk to young women in your situation BEFORE you make any decision. I wish you and your baby and your whole family love and joy, support and faith that TOGETHER you will grow strong, happy, joyous and free. Most sincerely, -mk (reunited adoptee and mother-to-be) ↑ |
