Urgent help?

[~clover~]

I just recieved a message from a good friend.
A friend of hers is 31 weeks pregnant & doesn't want to keep the baby, as she isn't at the right point in her life for a baby (I don't want anyone's oppinions on this)

She would like to adopt the baby out, but doesn't know where to go, or how to do it.

Can someone point us in the right direction?

Please tell me the baby wouldn't have to go into foster care til it is placed in a home? If this is the case can a friend or family take it in??

She needs to get in contact with the Department of Human SErvices/ CHild Protection (adoption and permanent care team) in her State.

Just gave them that number. & even though I'm too far away I've offered to look after the bubba if she gets stuck.
I know I shouldn't really do that, but don't wanna risk a babies life IYKWIM...

I imagine there would be thousands of couples wanting to adopt a baby. There are so few put up for adoption each year. I imagine she won't have any problems.
