[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The safe refuge at places like fire stations is because even WOMEN do not always want their babies and want "it all to go away." 
It's called Safe Haven Law.
No one should be forced to be a parent. It is not in the child's best interest either.

Actually, the so-called safe refugees at fire stations are a really messed up way to sever a child’s connection to his or her kin forever, and they are dangerously susceptible to coercion and violence toward women who may not actually want to give up their babies.

As we can see in this example, we have an irresponsible and delusional 27-year-old man who has fathered a baby but would like to leave it at a fire station. Now imagine if the mother of the baby had no support systems. Was a victim of abuse. Was in this country illegally. Depending on him for support. He could very easily take the baby from her and leave it at a fire station, and there would be absolutely no accountability for him and no recourse for her. Our domestic infant adoption system is really messed up and exploits, poor and vulnerable women, but at least on its surface, it requires a woman to sign consent papers, and at least in some states provides a brief revocation period for her to change her mind if she is being coerced or pressured, which most relinquishing mothers are. In this case, a vulnerable woman who has a child could easily have a child taken from her by a more powerful man.

Every child deserves to know his or her identity or origin and connection to biological kin.  Even if parents choose not to parent, legal adoption provides at least a modicum of legal protection and access to identity for a child.

(Look into how much money is going into these boxes, too…it’s astronomical for an almost nonexistent use case vs the good tha money could do if it were actually helping mothers preserve the family ties to their infants.)[/quote]

Half of this is weird fantasy

I never would have known about where supposedly "prosperous middle americans" (supposedly populating this board) fall on all sorts of topics

[b]The weird thing to me is that somehow it's presumed that this whole family is white people.[/b]
