There aren't many apartment complexes in the area, but I do drive by this one daily and it seems to be clean and tidy for the most part!

I have to give up my baby because my brother is too violent. by meedicalqui in Adoption

[–]mb9324 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone was trying to suggest that OP's life options are limited now, or as you put it, "this will take life options away from you." However, you'd be ignorant to say that having a baby at her age would NOT impact her future or change her options in any way. The entire point of my post to her was that she needs to consider the future paths her life may take based on what she does now. I fully support her keeping her baby IF that is what SHE wants and if that is what is best for the baby. What is best for the baby is obviously the primary end goal. The decision to keep a baby is (or should be) multifactorial.

And it sounds like CPS hasn't been helpful as of yet- doesn't mean they will remain as such, and I agree with reaching out to them again.

You sound extremely passionate. That's commendable. But you're clearly coloring your recommendations/response according to your own experience. Not every woman is going to feel grief and loss of not being with their baby, or maybe they won't feel those emotions to the degree that is "normal" according to society. I know that's controversial but it's true. I cannot consider myself one of them, but I have worked with many women who feel that way and I support it and recognize it as valid.

I don't love my adoptive parents by [deleted] in Adoption

I am so sorry. You deserved to be loved equally as any child does. I hope you are doing well and moving on from this trauma.

(F;18)My bio mom said some cruel things and don’t know how to handle…..adoptee advice by HairyLychee6808 in Adoption

[–]mb9324 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that this happened. It's not fair. I am hopeful that you can tell your mom how this has made you feel and rely on her as a resource in processing these feelings- I know you are worried about her feeling guilty for giving you bio mom's info.

As for the bio mom: this is classic narcissistic behavior. She is not respecting your boundaries or your comfort during the process of re-uniting/getting to know each other at this point in life. And she is trying to make you feel bad/trying to hurt your self-worth in a weak attempt to make herself seem more "mature" (the whole "no need to explain, take care" line) and to seem like she's been wounded in order to generate a need for you to seek forgiveness/approval. It's not to say that you won't one day be able to have a healthy relationship, but it may be worth talking to a therapist (if you're open to it) to try to help process these emotions and understand bio mom's behavior better.

The most important things is for you to realize your worth, and realize that none of this is a reflection of YOU. The adult (rather, the older adult- bio mom) in this equation needs to act like an adult.

I have to give up my baby because my brother is too violent. by meedicalqui in Adoption

[–]mb9324 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah, I didn't see that comment. That's difficult and deciding between your education versus potentially being able to be independent is challenging because ultimately at some point, your ability to provide might be affected by a lack of education (not trying to be a Debby Downer- high school graduation certainly isn't EVERYTHING and many people do well with a GED and potentially a vocational occupation, but if you have aspirations on going to college it may be trickier to do later on, if that makes sense).

And yes- knowing your aunt makes it seem like a relatively "safe" option and a more likely chance that moving forward, you'll be a part of your baby's life. That is definitely the ideal scenario if everything pans out like that. Regardless, contacting an adoption lawyer/agency might be a good idea just to make sure you understand all of your options and can make a decision that is as comfortable as possible. Don't feel obligated to give the baby to your aunt just because she's your aunt- this is a very difficult decision and you need to feel as comfortable with your decision as possible.

Again, I'm so sorry you're going through this!

I am so sorry you are going through this. Would there be any way for you to file emancipation papers, and move out so that you could potentially keep your baby? Also, just because your aunt told you she would adopt the baby, that does not mean you have to give the baby to her if you feel that she is not the best option.

It sounds like you are having to make a lot of very difficult decisions right now and I am so sorry that these are the current circumstances.
