[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]yes--[b]know that the idea of mentally stable college students who get pregnant and wants to loving place their child for adoption so they can go on to grad school is basically a myth.[/b] People choose adoption because they feel like they can't give their child a good life--and that's often because of substance abuse, learning disabilities, domestic violence, mental health issues, etc. These things affect a fetus and the baby/child/adult it becomes. Even the run-of-the-mill stress of maternal poverty affects people in lifelong ways. These things can sometimes be overcome or compensated for, but it can be tough and you don't know. [/quote]

Oh no it's not! That is exactly the situation my coworker.adopted from.  College student on an athletic scholarship, the boy a different race which  mattered to the bio grandparents.  The student would have lost her scholarship not being able to compete.  Did not believe in abortion for religious reasons.  My friend and her DH adopted the.most.gorgeous.child I have ever seen whom they are hoping will be an athlete as well. They were in the delivery room as the bio  family wanted nothing to do with it.[/quote]
