29-year-old Houston mother, who allegedly suffers from depression and anxiety, is accused of placing an ad on Craigslist to give up her 3-year-old son for adoption.

Stephanie Christine Redus is now charged with advertising for placement of a child.

They say you can post almost anything on Craigslist, but how about putting your child up for adoption? Police say this woman in Houston Stephanie Redus tried to do just that with her three year old son.  “I see the little boy over there playing in the swimming pool a couple of times and running around in his birthday suit,” says John Kirby, neighbor.

Neighbors were shocked to hear about the Craigslist adoption ad that was posted on May 1st.

It reads in part: “Hi, I’m trying to adopt out my 3yr old son. I’m not in a good place in my life and don’t feel like I can care for him properly.”

“I’m a single mom and can’t do this. Thanks, Desperate”
