Baby Wanted

[redgst97]

My wife and I have been trying to start a family for over 2 years now with no success. We have seen every "specialist" there is, been through 3 surgeries, and still no luck.

We have decided to focus on adoption.

So, I am asking for your assistance in spreading the word. I would think there might be a few young ladies out their who have found themselves in a situation that they would rather not be in at this point in their lives.

My wife and I have been married for 9 years, are both college educated, and own our own companies. Michelle is born and raised here in Atlanta (Parkview and Ga State graduate). I have an Army father and have move around the country and world considerably...I went to 3 different high schools.

My parents live about 2 miles from us, and Michelle's mother (a widow) lives about 45 minutes away. Between my brother and sister and Michelle's brother, we have a combined total 12 nieces and nephewes. Family is important to us.

Again, if you know of someone who needs help, or are possibly someone reading this who might be able to help, PLEASE cotact us.

The email and number above were set up SPECIFICALLY for the adoption process. Please use them if needed, and, respectfully, do not abuse them.

This is NOT a joke. This is our life, the hand we were delt, and we are trying to make the most of it.

Thank you!

[RandomGuy]

maybe this should be in the WTB section






heh JK [im an asshole i'm sorry] lol
On a serious note have you guys considered adopting an overseas baby, ie Chinese (VERY HIGH RATE OF ADOPTIONS), etc, I have a azn friend who was adopted into a caucasian household. But yeah if race is an issue then I'm SURE there are agencies out there. But if you get a white baby, you can't tell ppl its JDM So yeah, rescue foreign babies FTW

or is that out of the question..

Hrm, I'm sure theres a buncha agencies out there, just hit up google...

[Wurm]

bring me a girl and ill make you a baby

[Evil Goat]

^lol....

have you tried dfcs? they are very helpful, its a bit time consuming, but you've waited this long...we are getting the wheels rolling now on adoption, we are capable and already have a child, but i feel your pain, my nephew adopted 2 kids in the last 5 years...under the same circumstances....im all for adoption, my wifes adopted, her sister, and i now have 1 neice who is adopted and the 2 kids aforementioned


best of luck to you in your quest, family is where its at

[On_Her_Face]

hmm if i were in you're situation i would do what they did in friends.. but the problem is finding somebody you can trust... if u did not see that episode then they basically put their egg/sperm into another woman and she had the baby

[4dmin]

good luck; i built a website for a couple adopting a baby (i know that is one requirement for alot of adoption agencys). if you would like more info on the process my friends are going through let me know i can shoot you over their website/email.

[Julio]

wish you luck man !

[Nitro]

John g/l bro i wish u the best you guys seem very serious & i'm sure your wishes will be granted.

[DeeAOne]

best of luck on finding a baby to adopt

[Tech5]

GO JDM BABY !

[redgst97]

Again, thank you for the kind words, and ideas.

We are trying to stay out of an agency for the time being. We are giving a try at locating a willing birthmother on our own (with some help from you guys). This will save THOUSANDS of dollars in the long run. It might not work out, and in a few months or year, we might go with an agency.

While we have not ruled out a baby from another country, we would like to start our search locally, then regionally, then nationally, and then internationally. I believe there are too many cases locally to not at least try that route first.

A serrogate mother is not an option for us.
Sperm donor is not necessary
Egg donor would set us back another 35K.

Its never good when your wife's doctor mentions "tumor" and "cancer" in the same visit. Lets just leave it at that.

So, the focus is finding a young woman in trouble. The goal, ultimately, is to save the life of a child up against difficult and/or impossible odds.

Let me know if someone comes into this thread negativly, the post will be removed and person be banned. Either report the post and me and other mods will get it immediatly, or msg he on aim orprivate msg me.

Good luck, I hope everything works out for your family and any additions to it

[Leisa]

Good Luck John... Brett and I are in the same sort of predicament... I cant have kids, and he can...and wants them... we have looked at other alternative measures but everything is so expensive... I wish you the best of luck...

[Spektrewing386]

try craigslist

[Spectic Tank]

My mother has adopted 3 children from Foster homes in the past couple years. This is through the state, not through some agency. If you want more info I can get it for you. There are plenty of children who need parents...you're doing a great thing.

[quickdodge®]

Not to provide any negativity to this, but to make you more aware, John, but be very wary and careful of doing this. I'm sure you've heard/read the stories on "fake adoptions." People are put in contact with a woman who is "pregnant" and they help her through the by sending her money for doctor's visits and pre-natal vitamins and other monetary expenses only to find out that the female was never pregnant. Read up on this stuff and be very careful, dude.

With that said, I wish you the best of luck. Later, QD.

[redgst97]

QD: Yes, we have heard horror stories!! Many of them. But, we have also heard more success stories. Thanks for the caution though.

Specvee: State adoption is something we have looked into VERY little so far. It is on the "radar", just not at the top of the list just yet.

Leisa: Sorry to hear you guys are in the same situation we are.... I "think" we were in your shoes about 2-18 months ago. Let me know if you need any more information regarding IVF or Donor. Been there, done that.

Thanks again!

[B16a2 Civic]

my father was adopted, so i defintly hope you guys can find a child in need of a good family

[Wurm]

my offer still stands

[Nightsrt4]

Bah sorry to hear that.....I have a 8 month old son it's alot of work don't worry it will happen for you.

[Princess12]

Good luck with everything! I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

[kpc2593]

I feel ya man.....I wish ya luck in the future.....sorry I can't help out man...again, best of luck!

[redgst97]

Wurm: When your offer is relevant to the situation and request from the original post, I might talk to you about it.....
Until you have something helpful to offer, there is no need for the nonsense.

[itsjustdee]

Good luck

[chrisdavis]

Have you thought about becoming foster parents? I work with a guy who was a foster parent for years. He adopted two of his foster kids (he said the foster parents get first option to adopt).

[redgst97]

Chrisdavis: Sort of.,...my mom volunteer in Forsyth county, so we have gotten some information about foster parenting. Thanks for the idea....

Foster parents (from what I know) WILL get the option to adopt, but not all foster children become available for adoption. Some go back into the "system" (unfortuantely), and some go back to thier parents....its heart wrenching, and difficult ( at times).

My mother has been a foster parent and she has adopted 3 of her foster children. It is truely sad to see these children in this situation. In my opinion these are the children that need to be rescued. While it takes a long time to take take away the birth mother's rights, they usually do end up in the custody of the state or their adopted parents.

Good luck again and if you want any more info on state adoption or foster parenting my mom is very involved and can answer any questions you might have.

[sdiddy]

Good luck with your adoption.

Please do not be discouraged about your luck (or lack thereof). My wife and I went through a similar situation. We were trying for 4 years before we conceived. I know it seems hopeless that nothing has happened after 2, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it won't.

Along with your adoption, keep the faith that you and your spouse will also be able to have children naturally one day.

[redgst97]

sdiddy: Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!!!
Unfortunately, medically speaking, my wife cannot have children. Naturally is NOT a option for us.

[tippatone]

I am so saddened to hear about your situation, especially when back in the day when i lived in NY a girl that lived in my neighborhood wrapped her newborn in a sheet and left it in a bathroom so her parents wouldn't know, and i remember thinking, child birth is a blessing from God and she is taking it for granted, may God bless you and your wife and i hope you can find a situation where you can have a welcome addition to your family.

[{X}Echo419]

is it just me or all the people that "want" children can't have them and the people that don't get pregnant by incodential contact?

Good Luck to the both of you.

[KPowerEP3]

Wow...just wow. This is really a great thing. I applaud you guys greatly for going about the situation the way you are. It's very heartwarming to see someone want to take their own terrible circumstances and use it to not only help someone else for the better, but also further themselves.

Best of luck and prayers to you, your wife, and your search.
