I'm pursuing my dream of becoming an orthopedic shoe model & would like to give my 6yr old son up for adoption?

I've been offered a lucrative job as a model for orthopedic shoes. However, the job is located in Aschaffenburg, Germany and would entail quite alot of traveling in Europe.

Given the fast and wild nature of the orthopedic shoe industry, I'm really not sure this would be the appropriate environment in which to raise my child.

He's not a smart child, but he is a sweet one, so I'm sure he would have no trouble finding a home. I'm going to be a little sad to see him go, but I think it's for the best. I don't want to warp him or ruin his childhood by exposing him to European excess.

What are the appropriate channels to go through in order to start the process?

Should I contact the state and see if I can have him handed over as a ward of the state? Or are there local adoption agencies that can take him off of my hands?

    Whatever you do you must NOT expose him to European ideals! He must not be exposed to lazy socialists whose only values in life are enjoying their work, spending time with their families, providing health care for everyone, eating quality food, etc.

    Please, if you must, just leave him on someone's doorstep. That would be better then having to expose him to the horrible values of Europeans.

    Maybe you could give him a gun, a voucher for a Christian school and drop him off at the greatest of American institutions - McDonald's.

    I am truely in awe of how stupid you are. You were the one who got in bed with a man, you are the one who made that decision and now you have a son, that god gave you and after 6 years you are just going to drop him off somewhere. Not only is that beyond messed up (by the way i would love to use some others words here) but do you know what that is going to do to him? He is old enough to know you and love you im sure and he is going to realize that hey myu mother doesnt love me. I think youre nuts woman. The line "He's not a smart child, but he's a sweet one, so i'm sure he will have no trouble finding a home" HE IS NOT A DOG! who talks about their kid that way!?! and "im going to be a LITTLE sad to see him go" you should be devastated to your kid go. I cant believe you! If i could I would adopt him myself just to get him away from you!

  • Have you considered getting him to help you make the models? there usually lots of little parts to hold together while the glue sets. How many pieces does the model come in?

    Also i think you should take the opportunity to let your child repay you for his existence. Since he is not smart enough to invest an education upon. Putting him to work maybe the solution. Not sure about German child labour laws but i think if he works from home that's fine. Also selling him off as an apprentice shoe maker is still legal.

    Newsflash! No one wants to buy Orthopedic shoes. Dont try and lie to yourself and say that its a fast paced business. Its not. And stop talking about your son as if hes a pair of socks. Hes a human being and he didnt ask to be here. Dont give him to the state. Take him with you. But if youre seriously as ignorant and dumb to give up your son over that, then he deserves to be with another family, because you're not a fit mother. You should not have any kids. Go be selfish in Germany with your flop of a shoe company. No one wears those!

    I have had the pleasure of raising my grandson who calls me mommy and I love him dearly and will do everything within the law to keep him with me he is eleven now and I plan on adopting him it has been a struggle giving up on thinking about myself and making his life mine but it works and I do not regret any of it at times he tells me that I should have some me time and leave him but I tell him that I am a parent and cannot leave him to watch himself we do many things together and I get pleasure from seeing him develop into the fine young intelligent man that he will become one day a child is a gift from god and he does not continue to give gifts to selfish people think about your child first if there is room for you there is room for him I have put completing my master degree on hold because I have my grandson to raise he needs me and that's what is important I have time to complete my needs his comes first

    um yeah not sure what to say i am speechless

    i have this adice through when you had your son

    an sure you didnt ok when can give him away and

    if you do you would recated it and feel apart of you

    is missing and also you dont if this shoe model thing

    would work out and if your son would be hartbroken

    when yo tell your leaving him and adpation is like a last resort

    like if u die or he being abused

    i think if you do want to try modleing for abit dont give him up for adpation let him stay with friends or family until you come back

    because adpation is so forever i think shold sit down hav really had look at yourself

    mind you if you really willing to get of your son just like that he might be better of without you

    I'm thinking this is one of those questions some company poses to test the masses out to see what responses would be for shocking questions, or, maybe just a stupid video or blog! BUT, if serious, really hope this boy finds a REAL mother and gets away from crap like you.

    If you don't want to traumatize your son then I suggest you don't give him up for adoption or try and make him a ward of the state. You are being extremely selfish and it is not at all in yours sons best intrest for you to get rid of him. If you have to take this job then u need to take him with you and make it work. You really need to look deep inside of yourself and ask if you really think what you want to do is right.

    I hope to god you're joking, because if not you disgust me. Actually, you are right in a manner. Your son deserves better than a low life, self centred mother that would give him up to sell orthopedic shoes.. Grief, you need help.. He's a little boy not a pet.
