Pray My Husband and I, would love, to have a baby, but, unfortunately, I cannot. I looked after a friends baby boy, from the age of just on, 2 months, to 10 months. Then she found herself. It was gut wrenching, for us, as we has fallen in love with him, but, he belonged to her, and we had only promised to take care of him, till she could get on her feet. Now we are both, wanting a child so badly, and with the long long, waiting in South Africa, as you can imagine, We are both wanting to know, is there any one, who know's of some one, who for some reason, has fallen pregnant, but for their own reasons, does not want to keep the child, and is willing to put the child up for adoption/private, if need be, or through the welfare? This child would be given so much love, and every thing a child would want, and need. I know there are many women, out there, in the same position, as myself, and my husband. But I am trying, through all, angels, to try and find, some one...who may not be in a position, to take care of a child, now, and to let you know, that this would be an open adoption, too. If done privately, or through the welfare. We do not see the need to not let the child, not know, who his or her, mother is, unless, the mother, feels the need, not to? I send warm wishes and love to every mother out there, and be blessed for the bundle of Joy God has given you.

Hi Linda,
I know how you and your husband feel with not being able to have a baby. My husband and I adopted 2 years ago and it has changed our life's for the better. You stated that in SA there is a long waiting period for babies, is this because you and your husband are wanting to adopt in the same ethnic group as you? My husband and I crossed the ethnic group and adopted a baby of colour, we haven't had any trouble and feel a baby is a baby. We only waited 1 month before knowing we were going to get him,which was in August and he was in our custody by 25 September, we are awaiting a sister, have been on the waiting list for 9 months now.
Have you thought about going through a private social worker that's how we did it?

Hi Linda
I know your pain in trying to conceive, as I went through it as well. My husband and I went through child welfare who we had a wonderful experience with. We started the process mid October last year, and after all the workshops with other adoptive parents, interviews, home visits, applications forms etc, we had completed the process by end of December. By mid March we were officially on the waiting list and 2 weeks later we got the call to say they had a baby for us. We met our baby that day and 4 days later went to court and took our baby home :-) Many of the couples in our group also got babies a few weeks after us.
I wish you all the best with your adoption process.
Judi
