[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]she didn't say having the baby and putting it up for adoption was an option

I mean, sure, it MIGHT be an option, but I can't even imagine someone in her situation with 2 older kids going through with the pregnancy only to give their sibling up for adoption.

My sister in law did. She had two kids, got pregnant at 32 and didn't want a third so she put the baby up for adoption. She changed the lives of a lovely couple who now have a son. Everyone involved feels like that was the right decision. [/quote]

ok, good for her?  That is going to be a minority

I know my friend adopted a child from a couple that already had another child.  But in that case, there seemed to be poverty involved - I think they just simply couldn't afford another kid.  They were pretty young.  It is possible that they couldn't figure out how to obtain a low cost termination and/or the pregnancy was too far along.[/quote]

I'm not asking for praise for her. You said you can't even imagine someone in a situation with two older kids giving up a third for adoption. Well, it happens. Maybe you should open your mind a little bit if it's so narrow you "can't imagine" something. [/quote]
