</s><FONT font="Arial"><s></s>But I see that you agree with society, and that the social stigma against unwed mothers is still alive and well in this day and age. Foos did you know that prior to Roe Vs. Wade 1973 over 500,000 women LOST their babies to adoption? There was no abortion, and you simply were not allowed to raise a baby out of wedlock. You would be sent away to a maternity home and your baby would be sold to “loving 2 parent families” Women were made to believe their baby deserved better. <e></e></FONT><e></SIZE></e></SIZE><br/>

</s>Adoption is a PERMANENT solution to a TEMPORARY problem. You won’t be young, single, in school, unemployed forever. And losing your BABY for something like that is a damn shame IMO.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><e>[/FONT]</e></FONT><br/>

</s>I speak with women on the internet in their 70’s and 80’s who still to this day do not know if their child lived or died, and have no way of knowing. The secrecy still firmly in place. ALL these women wanted to parent their babies, NONE of them had a choice at all.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><e>[/FONT]</e></FONT><br/>

</s><FONT font="Arial"><s></s>I firmly believe the only “good” reason for an adoption is if you really truly do not want to parent, and this decision needs to be made POST birth. <e></e></FONT><e></SIZE></e></SIZE></r>
