Should a single woman who's living with her parents adopt a baby?
Answer:
I think when you decide to have your own kids..whether naturally or adopted.. it's time to move out of your parents house. You say she is financially ok, so why is she still there? Does she just want a play mate? She should move out on her own to raise her own family. Does she plan on her parents being the sitters for this child, do they want kids living in the house too.. she should move out and grow up if she is going to raise her own.
Let her live her life and if you are going to be her friend -- support her and dont judge her.
Well, I am not the expert here, but has any agency done a background/screening on you?? I think it would depend upon your reasons for living at home versus out on your own.
I would guess that it would be easier to adopt if you were on your own and had the financial stability. I know my SIL had to go through some major $$ and red tape to adopt and she is married, stable, and they make some great cash.
It's really not up to you or I to agree. Be careful on speaking about someone else's life because you never know what situation you will be in that is no one else's business but your own. Look to the positive of what she is doing: lifetime in an orphanage or being loved by someone who wants you. . .Karma is a funny thing, be careful of what you think isn't right in someone else's life because life will humble you. . .
Not unless your parents want to have an active role in raising the child.
It is strange. If she has enough $$$ to adopt, she should be out on her own at that age. 26 is pretty young so I dont understand why she would think she is an old maid.
If the woman will take good care of the child, and the woman's parents will also help and want the child to be part of their family I see nothing wrong with it. Having 2 good "grandparents" should make up for the lack of a "daddy".
If it is not your place, then you are just a gossip by posting it here and want others to justify you spreading the tale. Shame on you.
i guess there are more questions to be answered here: is she only living with her parents still becasue she's not married? can she afford to live on her own? are her parents ill and she cares for them? If she's able to afford an adoption and there's room for herself and a baby at her parents, why not? But 26 is still young there's still hope if she's looking for the marriage + children route! To each their own.
Tell her not to do it. It will only become a burden on her parents.
as long as she is going to love and care for the child, it is kind of strange and it's good that you are trying to support her in any way, as long as everything is working for the best interest of the child.
yep the girl can adopt a baby but 26 is too early for that....
there is no problem in adopting a baby... but since she is young .... and you dont know what happens in her life...
i think she should wait till she is 30.. if she wants to adopt a child.... get prepared for child completely ...
The living arrangements are different, but not bad. The baby will have not just a mom, but also granparents. It's always better if a baby can have more than just a mom or dad. So, I think it's awesome.!
Her living with her parents is probably a much better situation for the baby than her living alone with the adopted child because she will have the support and assistance of both of ther parents, providing they support what she is doing.
Our culture tends to see the familty unit as man/woman/child, but its really very healthy to have additonal generations and extended family involved with childrearing and socialization. Think of how much her parents will have to offer both her and the baby while they are all together. And vice versa.
I think your plan to support her no matter of your own feelings is the mark of a true friend. She's really lucky to have you in her life.
Best wishes!
I think its great if thats what she wants to do! There are so many babys out there without parents. She is much needed and I give her credit!
