Woman fights to keep baby after promising child to man in exchange for financial support

A distraught mother who promised a man that she will give her baby to him for adoption after birth, in exchange for financial support, has run to the public to help her resolve the situation as she is now unwilling to give up her baby.

According to her, the man responsible for her pregnancy stopped supporting her financially when she was two months into the pregnancy journey, leaving her struggling to survive.

She said that, out of desperation, she confided in a neighbour, Amaria, who informed her that a man was willing to financially support her through the pregnancy on the condition that she would give the baby to him for adoption after delivery.

However, after giving birth, the mother said she realised she did not want to part with her child and now wants help resolving the situation.

In a snippet sighted by GhanaWeb on August 21, 2026, she explained that she had agreed to the arrangement because of her difficult financial circumstances.

“Two months into my pregnancy, the man responsible stopped supporting me financially.

“Out of desperation to survive, I told a neighbour, Amaria, about the situation and she told me a man is willing to support me to go through with the pregnancy and give my baby to him for adoption.

“However, after my delivery, I realised my mistake and I don’t want to hand over my baby,” she said.

The woman, who is a mother of two, also revealed that her previous spouse had abandoned her, further compounding her financial difficulties.

She has therefore appealed to the public to intervene and help find a resolution to the situation so she can keep her newborn.

@asempa_fm I agreed with someone that if he took care of me during my pregnancy, I would give my unborn child to him. Now, I am no longer willing to give my child up for adoption. #yasetenam #AsempaFM ♬ original sound - ASEMPA FM
