Stopping adoption process

hi mama, sorry to hear about ur story :( i believe being a mum means putting the welfare of your child before your own. you mentioned that you and your partner were not able to provide for your baby, are things better now? do consider that you'll have to be able to give your baby a full and happy life where she will be provided for holistically for many years ahead to come. unfortunately, "winging it" is not enough if u want to seriously raise a child. as much as we have a gov who provides for low income families, sometimes it's just not enough either :( not to mention, your mental health will greatly suffer too and it will definitely affect the way you bring your girl up. on the bright side, i do know a few couples who decided to raise their child despite their struggling financial situations. they did receive lots of help from family physically and financially though. so if you do want to keep her, maybe make it a point to sit and have a chat with both you and your partner's parents and be sure you'll both be supported along the way. it's very important to have support from family especially parents if this is going to work! take care and all the best!
