Heather in Neverland Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 It is still up in the air but not looking good. :( Everything was right on track until the bio father (the teenage boy who got the teenage girl pregnant then took off) found out that she was adopting the baby out to a "white" family. He saw dollar signs and suddenly was back in the picture and trying to extort more money from us. We had agreed to pay her hospital bill which is the common thing in adoptions here but then he wanted more...a lot more...and it became more like we were buying the baby. It's become a distasteful situation with him trying to "sell" the baby to the highest bidder so we took ourselves out of the equation. We pray that they find a nice home for the child and if not, that they will see the error of their ways and call us. He has no intention of raising the child or even continuing to "date" the child's mother. He just wants a "cut". And she won't stand up to him. It makes me ill. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetstitches Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I'm so sorry. :grouphug: We once had a birth father tell us that he wasn't sure about the adoption because he was worried that the child would grow up and become a movie star and make us rich.

Heather in Neverland Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Thank you all for your support. It was sad but what we learned fromit is that our hearts ARE still open to more children and if God puts one in our lives then we already know what our answer is. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
