advice on possible adoption

by zetti1 - 12 Nov 2009 - 12:11

i would like to know if there is any information someone can send me in connection with the next scenario:

there is this one colleague that works with me, she told me this morning that she does not know what to do, her 17 year old sister just found out that she is pregnant, she wants to go for a abortion, but we are trying to discourage her not to go!! she can always give the child up for adoption, she is in anyway apparently to far to go for a adoption because she went to the clinic and they told her it's to late, but i am afraid that she might do something to herself, but not just that, that she might do something to harm the baby and that they will both suffer in the long run. so i need to please get some information about adoption and what we can do to help as she nor her family has got money to support the pregnancy and baby/s

PLEASE HELP

Advice

zetti1,

It's impossible to give you advice on this issue. Every country - indeed many counties or states - have different rules about both adoption and abortion. You should contact your local social services department, or church group, and ask for more information on adoption options.

I would like to adopted a baby

by ERIKA BADENHORST - 27 Jan 2010 - 11:04

I am married to my husband for 5 years, but I cannot give him a baby. I had a historectomy and would love to have a baby to whom I can give a great education, love and a great future. Please if anyone know of a baby that needs a love and caring home, please contact me. I am also Afrikaans spoken and a white female and It is really bad to hear about the hunderd abortions.

White babies in Africa

by Graeme Codrington - 8 Jan 2010 - 11:19

Thanks for your request. Our understanding from our experience is that there are not many white babies in South Africa who need adopting. Those that are available to be adopted are preferred to be given to couples who have no children and have no ability to have children of their own.

For me, the crisis in Africa is the non-white orphans, and I would encourage you highly to consider adopting across the culture and skin-colour divide. This creates an amazing picture of the new South Africa, and of God's Kingdom in which there is neither "Jew nor Greek".

God bless you for your desire to do such a wonderful thing as adopting an orphan.
