[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with biological children and an adopted child I don’t think people really realize how difficult it is to get an infant who hasn’t been exposed to drugs. It’s basically impossible. I know many adoptive moms (myself even at one time) who keep this VERY private and never talk about their child’s NICU time related to withdrawal and all that. We were very lucky to dodge any special needs but I was willing to take that on as I was already a special needs mom from my bio kids. But I think it’s worth “something” to pay to carry the baby because you KNOW for certain that baby won’t come out and struggle. It’s really heartbreaking to watch infants withdrawal. So ya I think it’s worth 200k.[/quote] I disagree that healthy infant adoption is next to impossible. If you are in the healthcare field or work in a hospital, you or coworkers have a direct line to patients, and may learn of a pregnant mom who is considering adoption and can be screened for suitability. If there are no issues, all you have to do is make contact with the mom, draw up a private adoption agreement with your own attorney, and off you go with a newborn. I know a nurse who did this. Met mom just a week prior to delivery, took baby home a few days after birth. Perfectly healthy baby. [/quote] This is unbelievably unethical. [/quote] I agree. But it is not illegal so it happens more than you think.[/quote]
