[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is an honest question. How can parents be coerced into placing their child for adoption?[/quote]

They are all coerced "in hindsight"[/quote]

Hmm. Let's see. Vulnerable woman with little or no social support turns to a deceptively "neutral" agency that lauds the good act of placing one's child for adoption and warns of ruin should the woman choose to keep and raise the kid. Abortion, of course, is out of the question.

Seriously?[/quote]

You are ignorant if you think EVERY agency acts this way.  I purposefully chose a Catholic agency b/c they approach this from a mental health perspective and are not for profit. They are not in need of babies to "sell" to stay in business.  They actually DO try to find birth parents the resources they need to parent effectively if that is their choice and they explore that option with every client who approaches them.   [/quote]

sorry but Catholic agencies are the worst. They use a lot of guilt and shame to push women to place.  what they do is actively promote adoption first over abortion and then when that fails move on to providing resources for raising the child.

I am an adoptive mom but I don't think any adoption agency is really going to provide the level of counseling or service truly needed to guide a woman to making a choice to place or not. [/quote]
