[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s a bit hard to understand is how giving away a baby is traumatic, but ending it’s life isn’t. Not wanting to go through pregnancy & childbirth— that part makes sense. But not the other. [/quote]

if it's a "bit hard to understand," it's because you've never been in that position before.  having had one abortion and one baby, there's zero question in my mind that I'd abort instead of adopting out if I got unwantedly pregnant.  That's because I don't view a 6-8 week old embryo as a person; and also because I don't want to be pregnant and give birth.  [/quote]

+1. There is a reason that many women who have given up a baby for adoption never go on to have another child.[/quote]

Yeah.  I didn't love having an abortion - in fact it sucked - but I can imagine having another one; whereas I cannot imagine giving up an actual baby, now that I have an actual baby.  The only possible scenario I can imagine giving up a baby for adoption is if it was a wanted pregnancy and something horrible happened in my life at 7-8 months that made it impossible to parent, like I was going to jail for life or something.  My guess is that's how most women end up opting for adoption -- they kind of sort of think they can parent, then pretty far into the second trimester when they feel it's too late for an abortion (or it's legally to late), and realize they can't parent.
