Well, it has been over a year and we have not adopted yet.
Recently, my wife's coworker/friend, told us about a 1 year old little boy that she babysat for a week. The boy seems to be healthy, very cute, good manerisms, etc.
However, he has the misfortune of a worthless single mom who does not bathe him for a week at a time, nor does she change his diaper for as long as 3 days! The poor kid had a severe diaper rash. She has stated she does not want the baby anymore, hence the lack of care. Yet, she is pregnant again! She is a bonafide alcohol/drug user, piece of crap if you ask me. They had 17 paternity tests done and still no clue who the father is.
We are considering becoming this child's saviors. However we are frustrated because times are tough for us financially (like everyone), and to adopt the child would mean that we would have to get a bigger vehicle. Our corolla simply won't have the room for us and 3 kids. Since we can not afford another car at this time, we are thinking that we will do our best to find someone to take this child in and provide a safe, loving home.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jason
