[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 46-year-old single parent looking to buy an infant through a private placement?  Disgusting.[/quote]

You are ignorant and hurtful.

There are babies who will have a better life if they are raised by an adult instead of a teen, by someone who is not addicted to drugs, by someone who wanted to parent them, etc. [/quote]

There are plenty of people who want to adopt babies. The choice is not birth parent vs. OP. It's OP vs another adoptive parent, who may be younger and have a partner (which may or may not mean healthier with a wider support network). OP needs to consider her health and finances and support network. [/quote]

Yep and adoption always giving the child a better life is an outdated narrative. A lot of birth mothered are coerced due to poverty not because they are unfit mothers. [/quote]

The adoption industry is so sick. I’m glad there is more awareness around it than there used to be. And, yes, I do think adoption can be necessary but rich people buying infants is gross. [/quote]
