[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was your mom’s decision.  She could have chosen to be disowned. And you don’t know how your life would have turned out if she had not placed you for adoption. My mom was catholic and chose to keep her baby, but who knows, maybe I would have been better off adopted. Your mom did what she thought was best at the time, as did mine. No one can know the future when making these decisions. I’m sorry it didn’t turn out better for you.[/quote]

The mother didn't choose. She was forced. [/quote]
There are, however, situations in which mother's do give up their babies voluntarily.

My cousin was adopted. She was the seventh of ten children from a Catholic family. The mother kept the first six and gave up the rest. She now visits them regularly. [/quote]

Uh huh....read your words. Her mother actually had a number of children she couldn't keep. And she kept having them
 She was used as a brood mare. You write this with such nonchalance,  as in " where's the problem?"

Let's keep our eye on the larger picture here. Adoption is not the remedy for forced birth. [/quote]
Um, her mother was happy to have the kids. She just couldn't raise them. They have a good relationship now [/quote]

I doubt those last 3 children who were given up are all just fine and have “good relationship” with the mother who gave them up. Note that you say “now” the relationship is good. How did those children feel up until now? What traumas did they face? I’m not saying the answer is that they should have been aborted and should not exist, but in a situation like this, the children are treated like a commodity to trade. It’s sick. [/quote]
