Re: Abortions
if it were only that easy. i will never understand the difficulty met with wanting to adopt an uwanted child and yet they can be sent to possible foster homes where abused, sometimes to death and these places are not monitored. here, you are checked so thoroughly to be a foster parent, in the US i don't know how much. then, when a good. loving foster parent wants to adopt the abused child, and they are sent back to their abusive home. anyway, even new babies put up for adoption it is hard to find homes for. although it seems they should allow this easier, you have to have money for the process and have nothing wrong with you, etc. people have been turned down for silly reasons. i wish it was so easy and some people do make the right choice. some cannot fathom giving a child away. i know that doesn't bode well with people, but it is a fact. also, if a teen is young, parents have a say as well. then there is the whole stem cell issue which could help ill people. it is such a sticky wicket. i understand your feelings. i know of women who have miscarried or want children so badly and pay through the nose and have resorted to adoption in China because the north american system can be almost more difficult.

Re: Abortions
If i told you that the friend that i offered to have a baby for has just had a girl...would you believe me. She had an eptopic pregnancy and a tube removed, then she found out that she had endometriosis (extremely bad case) and had to have surgery for that. She was told that she would never get pregnant again (after 2 misscarriages) she had to have a blood test cos she was feeling down and they wold her that she was 2 weeks pregnant. She has had a hell of a time with the pregnancy, but the baby was born last week. She was a little bit prem but she is doing well :)

Re: Abortions
Yes, excellent point, and true. However, the theory of "supply and demand" would lead to an excess of adoptable children. It will almost certainly make adoption an easier process to "qualify" for. God knows, most people wanting to adopt who are denied would make far better parents than parents who are never questioned as to their suitability as parents by Child Protective Services. Very terrible predicament. On the other hand; More and more private adoptions are being done by matching sites online, similar to a dating site. Look on Google. I helped a young unmarried girl go through an adoption process using one of those sites. It was fantastic to be in the delivery room and watch the "handover" to the new parents. WOW, so moving. It can be done without the use of bullshit money-hungry "agencies". |

Re: Abortions
Graceful comment to a classless post. I hated both her fuckin posts and had to really supress the immediate implulse to attack her and defend your feelings. This is a very sensitive topic for most people. Some people just bulldoze through without regard for the recipient's feelings. |
