[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Well if she has little to no social support, isn't it a good choice to place the child for adoption? I mean she is at an adoption agency. If she were at an abortion clinic they wouldn't talk about adoption and raising the child. [/quote]

Isn't it better to ensure she has the *true* option to raise her child, including by providing social and financial support?[/quote]

Who is going to provide financial support?

When you choose to be a parent, you commit to financially supporting that human for 18 years.[/quote]

Right. Some women are in vulnerable situations during pregnancy - are minors, are victims of rape, are homeless, or are victims of sex trafficking/forced prostitution or domestic violence. Their vulnerability and lack of resources should not mean that their only option is to place their child/ren for adoption. More resources must be dedicated to supporting these women in motherhood.[/quote]

Minors okay. If you are an adult, [b]life happens.[/b] You get through it the best way you can like everyone else. I don't want to pay for you to raise a child, you have resources to do that on your own.[/quote]

You consider homelessness, sex trafficking, forced prostitution, rape, and domestic violence normal instances of "life happening"? You can't be serious.[/quote]
