Jessica<\/div>\n
My name is Jessica. Four years ago I got pregnant, but my boyfriend and I had crap jobs and no way to take care of a baby. Then, he called me up and dumped me! I searched on the internet for adoption laws, families searching for babies, agencies, you name it- and I came up with Family to Family. I picked them because I was very scared and out of a few agencies I called, they called me right back and explained how everything worked, right away.<\/p>\n
The ladies at the agency were ridiculously helpful and nice. They drove out into rural East Texas to pick me up. They put me in a nice clean apartment on a golf course and next to a library- and the way my life was at the time, that was huge, not having to worry about paying the light bill or for groceries- and drove me everywhere I needed to go. I saw a doctor who was respectful and really open with my questions and ideas about my pregnancy and how the birth should go. At the end, which you may not be ready to think about yet, one of the women that I liked the best was there for my delivery. These are all things that Family to Family provides for any young woman who needs it; I don\u2019t know whether you will need this help or not. But whether you do or you don\u2019t, you won\u2019t be judged, or questioned very much, or made to feel uncomfortable at all. They were always there for any problems.<\/p>\n
For the most part, that period in my life is over with. I placed my baby with a family that I loved (you get to pick! It helps with the stress and worry so much.) Even better, though, is the fact that you continue to get help after delivery, if you keep your life on track\u2026 I decided to go back to school two years ago (dropped out of college the first time around.) While still pregnant, I had learned about an educational fund that the agency had set up for biological mothers who had placed their babies for adoption. For me, it was very easy to apply; Family to Family had my paperwork, and I don\u2019t do drugs or get in trouble with the law. That is really it- you get accepted to a school, show what courses you are taking, and you get a stipend to help with school expenses. It helps a LOT when you are paying community college tuition out of your pocket, like I am! I am going part time for four years, to be a Registered Nurse. I\u2019m half done, and so far no student loans because of the stipend.<\/p>\n
That is about it. If you\u2019ve decided to let a family who wants to love a baby of their own and can\u2019t raise yours, Family to Family will help you a lot. I\u2019m sure there are other great agencies and people out there, but I really can\u2019t come up with anything else that could have made that time any easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
