[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting. I may check this out.

The fact is that most people give up their babies simply for financial reasons and if they had more financial support, they would keep them. I had a coworker several years ago was very religious and very anti-abortion. Which we weren’t close so I absolutely should not have known that in the workplace and I was younger, so I just didn’t realize how inappropriate it was that he shared so much.

Anyway, he and his wife were planning on adopting and it was just because they wanted to be these white saviors. So tracks that there’s a whole industry, coercing young women to give up their babies to fuel this. [/quote]

The book RELINQUISHED by Gretchen Sisson, which compiles extensive research on relinquishing mothers over just the past 20 years, backs this up.  Many relinquishing mothers would have kept their babies if they literally had a car seat and one month’s rent.  It is absolutely horrific that our country’s lack of a basic social safety net for pregnant women and infants means that so many mothers who do NOT want to give up the babies feel forced into adoption because they have no other options.

What makes it worse is that adoption agencies and all of the layers of lawyers and home study providers profit off this predation of young, poor mothers.  [/quote]
