[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Telling people that any adoption is coercive painful and a societal disgrace leaves suicide abortion or infanticide as the only other alternatives for someone who does not want a baby and does not want to keep a baby.
Just saying. [/quote]
Most of the time it is. If you listened to the podcast, adoption exists in other countries but at much lower rates because of their social safety nets.[/quote]

Also because of easy access to abortion which once again - if adoption is not available a lot of pregnancies will end up in abortions. Up to you to decide if it’s a preferred outcome.

I come from a Eastern European country where adoption is culturally frowned on because of importance of blood ties (and open adoption not heard of; the few peolem who do adopt routinely change the kid’s name and hide that they were adopted due to stigma.) They don’t allow foreign adoption much either. Guess what? A lot of children end up languishing in hellish orphanages in terrible conditions.

There is no happy easy solution to the issue. Some women will not want to raise a child and if adoption is not available, they will choose other less pleasant avenues. In other places, some women would love to keep their child but are coerced or economically forced to give them up which is also terrible. Pick your poison. You can mitigate some of the issues with better safety nets or vetting but you will never really fix it fully.

(And before you ask, I am neither an adoptee nor someone who adopted. I have no dog in this fight.)[/quote]
