    Giving up a child for adoption must be a heart-wrenching difficult thing to do and this post doesn't speak to those issues. There are many things that have to be taken into consideration before you proceed but it is a very "self-Less" thing to do. Your age, home life, financial support and schooling are all factors to be considered. The final decision must be yours. Don't let anyone bully you into making the decision.
    ---------------
    First, contact your local social services department and your doctor will also be able to help you. You cannot arrange the adoption yourself unless your child is to be adopted by a close relative.

    Social services will work with "approved" adoption agencies to arrange preparation for adoption before your child is born, but nothing will be definitely arranged until after the birth. You will be completely free to change your mind.

    The social worker will discuss with you the kind of family you want your child to grow up in and will usually tell you quite a lot about the family that is likely to become the baby’s new parents.

    You should talk to the social worker about the possibility of meeting the family, if you want to, or about other sorts of contact you could have in the future.

    Although social workers arrange adoptions, they are made legally binding by the courts.

    The court will make sure that you are definite about your decision to put your baby up for adoption and that the baby’s new home is the right environment for him/her to grow up in.

    The adoption is usually made legal three months after the birth of the child.

    Everyone recognises that putting a child up for adoption is a very big step for a mother so you have at least six weeks after the birth before you need to give your final agreement in writing to the court.

    When the adoption order has been agreed by the court you will no longer have any legal relationship with or responsibilities for your child.

    Open and closed adoptions are still under debate. This site is for the parents who may adopt your child.
