I am about to turn 28 and have been in a committed monogamous relationship with my common law husband for almost 10 years but children are not in the cards for us at this stage of our life.
Ironically, we want to adopt our children in the future as my father was adopted and it is something I feel is important/right to do.
However, this morning I found out that the flu I have been suffering from is actually a pregnancy. It was quite a shocker to say the least.
That being said, I know that I want an open adoption but have no clue where to start. Children right now are not an option for us and we have discussed that at length.
I am in Atlantic Canada but am open to an adoptive parent/couple from anywhere in Canada and the US. I don't care about sexual orientation or anything like that - I just want a loving, stable home for our child.
Looking at all the information has my head spinning and honestly need some direction here.
I am open to being contacted/messaged by home study approved adoptive parent(s) who are working with a lawyer/agency but don't know how to go about that.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm sure a forum moderator will mention this, but it is against policy for members here to contact you regarding adopting your child.
As far as considering adoption for your baby, it sounds like you're still early in the pregnancy so you'll have a lot of time to weigh the options. Since you plan to adopt children in the future, why not consider raising this child?
Best of luck to you!

I don't know too much about agency adoptions. I have read alot of things online where when the Birthmothers or birthchildren tried to initiate contact they found themselves tied up with agencies that would give them no information. They seemed to stonewall them for whatever reason. I went thru a private attorney that handled my birthdaughters adoption and had more say so in what was going to happen. I also actually got to meet the families face to face. I have both lawyers information to contact them if I need to get in touch with the adoptive parents for any reason. I also gathered enough info about the AP's to where I think I have narrowed down the people that have my daughter to one of two families in Brooklyn, NY. She is getting ready to turn 18 on Nov. 7th. I have already sent letters to both the attorneys to forward to the AP's in hopes of being reunited with her in the near future. Talk to people in the chatrooms, post anywhere you can on this website and there is also a cafemom.com website (it is generated by charter.net) where they have alot of really helpful people to guide you. In the couple of months I have been at these websites trying to put the info out there for my daughter to find me and trying to get feedback about how to handle everything that comes with reuniting I have found that the people out there are absolutely wonderful and extremely supportive to those of us that don't know all the terms and are just trying to find our way. Trust in the people here. We are all experiencing the same things whether as Adoptive parents, birthparents, or birthchildren. We are all scared, hopeful, confused, frustrated, and any number of other emotions. We all can relate to each other, because we've all been there. If you would like to send me a private message or email me at faith123@charter.net , I can forward you both the attorneys names and contact info that handled my daughter's adoption. They are both in NY and might be able to give you a starting place. Good Luck! Should you need any support or have any questions I might be able to answer, you have my information.
