Must have FBI clearance. We will need a family tomorrow or no later than Thursday when she signs as this is a direct placement so there has to be parents there.This is a great situation for someone.Agency is choosing and they are open to Singles or Married Couple. C, Indiana Age of mother: 35 years old Due Date: Baby Boy Born Race of Child: African American Gender of Child: Boy Reason for Placement Plan: C states that her other children are older and she does not wish to start over with an infant. C states that she does not believe in abortion and she knows there are families who badly want to be parents. She would like to bless a family with the child she is carrying. Birth Father Status: C states there is only one possible father. She reports they dated for about three or four months last year. She states that the last time she talked to him was in June of last year. She reports that she told him she was pregnant and was considering an adoption plan because she did not believe in abortion. She reports that he stated he did not have an opinion on what she wanted to do with the child and he would let her make that decision. She is not sure that she can still reach him but she does have some contact information for him. We will be working on trying to locate him to see if he is willing to sign a consent. In Indiana, birth fathers are allowed to sign a consent prior to the birth of the child. If we cannot locate him or if he will not cooperate then an attorney in IN or in the state where the adoptive parents reside will have to retain to terminate the father's parental rights. Financial Status: C lives with her aunt at this time. C is unemployed right now but states she has worked for Walgreens as a retail salesperson in the past. She is currently looking for a job now and has submitted several applications to employers. Right now her aunt provides her a place to live and provides food for her.

He was born full term as well by c-section. This was a scheduled c-section so C did not have labor with him. Ant was in the 8lb range and he has always been healthy as well. Health Insurance: C does not have Medicaid at this time but will be applying for Medicaid this week. Medicaid will cover the pregnancy and labor and delivery even if she delivers before her application is approved. Medical Care: C verified her pregnancy with an "at home" test last May. C is certain that her last menstrual period was 5.8.2009 which would make her due date 2.12.10. C will be going to a clinic in the morning for a proof of pregnancy and an ultrasound. This is a free clinic so the information that we get will be limited. Substance Abuse History: C denies that she smokes.

Support System: Charlene has chosen not to share her adoption plan with her family. She is 35 years old and sounds very independent. She states that she plans to have the baby and then tell her family. She states her family will be supportive and will not fight the adoption.

She wants the couple to be of Christian faith but is not specific to the denomination. C wants a closed adoption.
