You’re not entitled to a baby. I’m very sorry that you weren’t able to conceive.

Ma'am I have conceived my own children but I just think that each unborn child deserves a right to live in a loving and providing household

There are thousands of children waiting to be adopted right now. What are you waiting for?

As I said I do have my own children so am not looking to adopt. I don't have children that I can't raise but for those that do, adoption is a healthy alternative and many loving parents are waiting to care for children whose parents are unable to be productive members of society

You are a moron. Get a grip on reality, please.

Well I am glad you are more worried about me than these poor children. I hope that God finds a way to put love into your heart rather than the hatred that you clearly have right now. Like I said my only belief is a quality life for all children and luckily wealthy people in our area are happy to adopt!

You’re disgusting. Poor women are not free incubators for wealth infertile women or anyone who doesn’t feel like dealing with pregnancy but wants a baby.

well then maybe they should try birth control!

So because they didn’t use birth control, they have to be free incubators for wealthy infertile women?

Also, I am an UMC woman who had an abortion. Birth control failed. I could have provided a child an existence without “squalor” but I didn’t want to.

Adoption is quite traumatic to the birth mother and child. The only real winners are the adoptive parents.

This is the tiresome adopted person anti-adoption troll. They have made hundreds and hundreds of posts just like this. Ignore them.

Sorry, no. I’m a child-free non-adoptee who has seen a lot of harm done by adoption. Many people don’t think adoption is the inherent good you want it to be.

Why in the world are you even here and how do you think you anything meaningful to contribute???

You think someone can only “meaningfully contribute” if they have kids?

Abortion is birth control.

This is where I disagree
A woman should not have to experience an unwanted/unplanned pregnancy

Love is free.

Start writing large checks to every single mother you know and that will cover the “providing” bit. No need to force and impoverished woman to surrender her child.

Adoption is a tragedy. It always begins & ends with trauma.

Adoption comes from trauma, but it doesn’t always cause trauma. My kid endured trauma. Adoption was the partial solution and prevented further trauma. It wasn’t the trauma itself.

But for other kids where adoption stops people from looking for solutions that prevented the trauma? That’s a problem.

+1. Being "less fortunate" doesn't mean you can't give a loving home to your children. The assumption that the child will be happier and better off with wealthy people just because they are wealthier is really gross

Kids belong with people who can afford them.

Kids belong with their families who love them, regardless of the family’s financial situation. In a country as rich as ours, it is a travesty that we have almost no social safety net for poor families. The solution is NOT to snatch children from them and give them to the richest bidder.

Correct, on a forum for parents.

Sorry you couldn’t make a baby.

It's this simple, if you have a child you cannot afford then don't expect uncle sam to bail you out - adoption is a healthy alternative and there are many people out there with the money management ability to both love AND care for a child, unlike many parents who do not think before they do the deed

This was the prevalent societal thinking during the "Baby Scoop" era of the 1930s to early 1970s. It is a fairy tale and it is about controlling women and their sexuality. Adoption is a "healthy" alternative for WHOM? It isn't for the woman who does not wish to be pregnant and carry a baby to term. It isn't necessarily for the child placed for adoption. Read the recent New Yorker article doing a deep dive into the lives of adoptees and their stories. One key fact in that article---most adoptees are themselves pro-choice. I am SO sick of Catholics and Evangelicals trying to impose their religious beliefs about when life begins onto the rest of us. Let the Catholics and Evangelicals who find themselves with unwanted pregnancies live out their beliefs, carry the pregnancies to term, and then place the child for adoption. But leave the rest of women---the Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, mainline Christian protestants, and athiests and agnostics (apologies to the belief systems I have omitted) alone.
