FLORIDA EM

Sep 7

An expectant mom in Florida is looking to place her baby for adoption.
The agency only works with traditional/heterosexual couples but is open to single moms. She is open to both full African-American and interracial couples.
Her top preference is hopeful parents who already have a child. She prefers a Florida family but is open to the South East. During pregnancy, she would like to communicate with HAPs through calls and visits (Zoom if not local)
She is drawn to HAPs that will push them to be who they want to be instead of who their parents want them to be.
She wants HAPs at the hospital.
One of the agency requirements is that HAPs “love Jesus” since they are a faith-based organization.
The baby is a biracial, Black & Hispanic, boy due December 18. The baby is healthy confirmed by genetic screening.
She is getting regular prenatal care and would like to pick a name you could use as his first or middle name.
EM is African American, age 21, estimated to be around 5’5”, with curly black hair, dark brown eyes, dark complexion, estimated 116 pounds pre-pregnancy weight.
This is her first pregnancy and no complications have been noted.
