I'm Sorry

Hey, i'm really sorry about that. I didn't mean to offend you. I got that from a movie actually called rent-a-kid. It's a comedy wherein a couple wants to adopt but not too sure about the decision.


Again, i'm really very sorry. Please forgive me. I get sad when I accidentally offend somebody.

Thank you for your apology, I accept it. I'm sorry to, but that is just a very touchy subject for me. Again, I am very sorry.

Hi lisa my name is remi and I might be pg and I dont want to have an abortion but I also dont want to keep it cuz im only 14. If it was up to me I will keep it but I want to finish my education. I was just wondering if I was to give you my baby that is there any chance of me getting it back I will under stand if u dont agree with that. If im not being to personal, may I ask why wont you and your husband have a baby of your own?

Hi, my husband and I can't have one of our own because I had to have an emergency hysterectomy. I have two boys, ages 14 &15 but now I would love to have another one. So that is why I am looking to adopt a baby. I feel that if you gave me your baby, and I cared for it and nurtured it and half way raised it, that it would not be fair for you to get it back, mothers (biological or not) bond together and it would not be fair to the baby, my family, or to you to do that. So please, write me back and let me know your thoughts.

Hi lisa,
my dh and I are in the same boat with you. I have had 3 miscarriages, so we are choosing adoption now. We don't have any children yet, and we can hardly wait to have a child. We do have money in the bank, but we would like to use most of it actually raising a child--you know--college, camps, activities, fun clothes, all that good stuff! Our attorney told us to network everywhere. He said to tell everyone we know and ask everyone we know to tell everyone they know, etc. Have you gotten your home study and all of that? We have all the paperwork done, but it sure was a pain! Do you have a website link with your info on it? We are david and karen from ok. I read about a group of families that wanted to adopt that helped each other network. Maybe we can do that?

by the way, patrick, my husband and I thought your rent-a-kid joke was hilarious--i assume you were joking!
