Thinking About Adoption

I am 24 years old, single, and ready to start a family of my own. Growing up, I always knew that I would want to adopt when I was ready.

Open Adoption Info

I am a first time Grandmother to a 5 1/2 mo. darling Grandson. My daugter has not bonded with this little guy and it is time to check into open adoption even though it is breaking my heart. I have been raising him since day one and hoping she would take over but she is being realistic and does not want to be a Mom at 19. Does anyone have info on open adoption, I know this little guy deserves a wonderful life with a family that will make him the center of their lives. Thank you.
