omg...i dont know where to start...i adopted a litlle 4 day old little girl but i have realised i know ntn about kids.  ok let me tell you why i adopted... so there were these two kids who decided to have sex and got pregnant and tried to leave the baby in the hospital without anyone being aware of it. i found out and took her, went shopping and everything but now she is home i am confused. i am 25yrs and starting to think this was a bad idea.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get into a parenting class pronto.  Also you may need to give her up to a foster agency since you did not sign any papers saying you were the adopter the children chose.

Take a deep breath.

I know when I brought my son home from the hospital I felt the same way.

What are the issues that you need help with? Do you have any family or friends with kids that can help?

I think that's any new mom's first reaction but is the adoption legal? They don't just let people take babies from the hospital & sign the papers over to whoever will take it! They have to do background checks etc to make sure your a good fit the baby has to go to the state & it takes a while for the paperwork to get finalized so I'm kinda confused when you say you adopted her

You did a wonderful thing.  Deal with girl. That babies lucky to have you.  It's a blessing and there's a ton of people that would jump for the opportunity to adopt a newborn. good luck
