[quote=Anonymous]I have neither adopted nor am I adopted myself, but I think adoption is a great social good. Not just because it provides an additional choice to the biological mother, other than abortion or keeping the child, but because it gives a number of children homes who would not have one otherwise. I come from a country, Russia, where adoptions are both looked down on as second best AND uncommon. Guess what happens to all these children? They neither magically disappear nor does this somehow convince their both families to take care of them. They end up in horrific orphanages, living lives of emotional and material deprivation that are hard for spoiled DCUM posters to imagine. Every single one of these children would be better off to have a chance at adoption. Posters like the antiadoption PPs would deny them this chance, if the Russian government hasn't already done it for them.[/quote]
