I'm a 17 year old girl with a girlfriend I want to adopt a baby. How do I tell my parents? :(?

Right to the point...you can't. You are not a legal adult.

Do you have a high school education?

Do you have any marketable skills that will get you a well paying job to support yourself and a child and I don't mean in a fast food restaurant.

Can you afford to pay for transportation, lodging, utilities, food, pediatrician, and $700-$1,000 a month for day care so you can go to work? That's what it costs for quality baby day care.

No being on welfare be self-supporting. Do you know how to deal with a baby who is teething or who has colic? Can you cook so you can feed the kid?

I doubt you even know how to take care of yourself let alone a small human.

I doubt you could pass the rigorous check by the adoption agency to qualify. You don't meet the age requirement that's for sure even when you turn 18.

Yes I got greater grades in high school, I'm now in college and I have an ok job and I'm half way through my first year in child care education level 3 and in placement looking after children under the age of 2

I'm in the UK btw...

Yep, totally agree with you on this but the tone you using make you sound like you looking down on her, especially the last 2 sentences, so maybe try to turn it down a bit
