Adoption is only a good option if it's what the
Birth/first mom WANTS. Please help her if she wants to parent.

Says you. My life as an adoptee has been miserable and feels like a life sentence. And I know many fellow adoptees who also feel this way. Adoptees have significantly higher depression and suicide rates for a reason.






Same I know a handful of adult adoptee. Several were adopted by horrific people. One buys her son heroin, has been feeding his addiction since he was
14. I met him as an adult and he still struggles as a 25 year old. The mom fully admits to supplying him wh n he's in a relapse She doesn't use at all never has.

Any advice? She's in college (NVCC) and I'm concerned it will go to the wayside with all the new responsibility. Health issuance will not cover it, Would we have to pay out of packet?

She works 20 hours a week and earns 8 an hour.

Problem with medicare is government assistant and I always thought it was for the lazy, but accidents happen but I don't want to tell people that the baby might have to be on it..


Why isn’t she on your insurance? Don’t want people to think your daughter is lazy trash? Don’t raise lazy trash!


The insurance will cover her till 26, but it doesn't her kids.
I apologize for thinking that. Be honest no one ever thought that?




Actually my brother was able to put his grandson on his insurance until his son turns 26. He doesn't live with the baby and his son is over 18

But right now you're not worried about covering her kid -- you're worried about covering her and the huge L&D costs. I think that is covered since she's likely on her parents policy until age 26.

My second child was born under our state Medicare, fully paid for, and no one knows.

How could this possibly come up conversationally?


Again, Medicare does not pay for pregnancies, Medicare is typically designed for the population who is 65 years of age and older again, Medicare does not pay for pregnancies Medicare is typically designed for the population who is 65 years of age and older


Medicare is for the elderly and the permanently disabled. Medicaid is for low-income people of any age.


Yes sorry. Because op made that mistake, I typed it too. It was i my head

Medicare does pay for pregnancies:

Lots of Medicare recipients are permanently disabled but of child-bearing age, and do indeed get pregnant.

If this were my daughter, I would talk to her about terminating. If that’s not in the cards for either of you for whatever reason, please please make sure you have insurance via Medicaid or whatever govt assistance she needs. That’s what it’s there for

If it were my daughter, I'd be strongly encouraging an abortion. Strongly.
