Hello. I am a 36 year old christian female who has been unhappily married now for 1 1/2 years. Late last year I found out I was pregnant with my first child. My husband was/is thrilled about this baby, but it has been quite the opposite for me. I feel just as detached about this pregnancy as I have been about the marriage. I've been hoping things would change and that the natural bonding process would kick in, however I appear to be growing more distant and just want the pregnancy over with. I am also severely depressed and concerned that I may make the wrong decision for all of the wrong reasons. Baby is due in July and I don't see things changing any time soon. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.

Hi....I'm really sorry you are going through this :( Its awful to feel that way. I hope you can find someone to help you pull through this so you don't feel so alone. Your hormones are out of wack....maybe talkt o your dr about your feelings. Also, I know a baby doesn't help an unhappy marriage as they can bring more stress. I don't want to sound like a wanted ad...but should you and your husband decide you'd like to adopt your baby....my husband and I have lost 2 pregnancies in the last 6 months. We have a huge desire to be parents and are probably 2 of the most loving people you could hope to meet. I really don't want to push you one way or another..its a HUGE decision. But if you'd like to talk some more..please email me itsmyangel@aol.com

Adoption is not the answer to depression. If anything quite the opposite is true.
As a christian you know that we all go through peaks and valleys, and after 30 years of marriage I've seen a few.The key word here is THROUGH. What ever you do don't stop in the middle. God did not give you and your husband this child for you to give away.
I personally don't believe God is in the infant adoption business.
Adoption is a roll of the dice with a child's life. Some adoptions are good some are not. Adoption is based on loss. Child loses family and family loses child.
Also just so you understand you can not place your child for adoption without your husband signing off or either parenting himself. Also Open adoptions are not enforceable in most states so don't fall for that. As you can see most here could give a rip about you they want your baby.
What ever you do don't sign anything until after you have had this child. You may see things very differently by July. Situations are temporary adoption is forever.
Good Luck
Your family will be in my prayers.

We also have two children and they are excited to have another baby in the family my children are 19 and 16. I had to have a hstercomy done when I was 29 and I still wanted more children and I long for that need of a new baby to love, care, and be there for him or her. We are a good christian family with alot of love to give to your baby if you pick us.

Thanks to everyone for the wonderful support and responses. Although I have not yet determined if adoption is the answer, there is a very strong possibility I will be headed in this direction.

To answer the question with regards to where I am located, I am an American citizen temporarily residing in the UK. Please note (extremely important) that should I opt to place the child up for adoption in the US, it would be up to the adoptive parents to pay for all medical costs associated with the delivery as I do not have medical insurance. Feel free to email me at mellissa_us2k@yahoo.com with any questions.
