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.
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
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
