Abortion Industry Seeks to Discredit Adoption

The Washington Times (WT) wrote a fascinating two-part story on the status of adoption in the United States. Today we take a look at part 1. The series begins by looking at the falling number of infant adoptions. In fact, according to the WT, only one percent of all pregnancies out of marriage lead to an adoption. Meanwhile, a new report shows that there are 10 million American couples looking to adopt. Why the discrepancy?

One reason is abortion. Since 1973, the percentage of unwed pregnant women who seek abortion has skyrocketed to 35 percent. We live in a culture now that encourages women to "get rid" of their problems and seek "quick" solutions. For the millions of post-abortive women, however, these lies have painful, unforeseen consequences. Instead of feeling "relief" like the abortion industry would have them think, many women are still suffering from guilt, depression and trauma decades after an abortion.

But the abortion industry continues to lie, not only about the traumatic experience of abortion, but about adoption as well. The WT spoke with several anti-adoption activists who had this to say:

"No one wants to be an adoptee. No mother who has lost a child [to adoption] fully recovers."

"The adoption system is now virtually a North American phenomena - most other countries realize how barbaric it is toward mothers and children."

 "[Adoption] is an industry [in which] young, unwed (and thus powerless) parents are persuaded, through force,     coercion or outright lies, to transfer parental rights of their children to older, more affluent couples."

This kind of language is hurtful and misleading. Adoption is an empowering choice for women, who choose ultimate love and self-sacrifice for their children. The WT also spoke with Jessica, a woman who offered her child a bright future with an adoptive family. She sums up the process of adoption by saying, "For me, the joy of watching him grow up in his family far outweighs the grief of separating from him."

Adoption is a beautiful option that embodies the greatest love a mother could have for her child. Women should be praised for their love and care in providing their children with the best future.

This is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.

There the left goes again, redefining things to suit their agenda.....

.....Adoption = Barbaric and inhumane;

.....Abortion = civilized and humane

Things are getting pretty twisted up these days.

Most of the abortion rights advocates see abortion as a way to sacrifice humans.

We really need to get busy and exterminate this belief system once and for all.

"No one wants to be an adoptee. No mother who has lost a child [to adoption] fully recovers."

Right /sarc. Their whole argument is that it's okay to hate your child enough to KILL it, but it's wrong to LOVE your child enough to want it to LIVE. God is going to get them--I have to turn it over to Him, otherwise I'd go crazy. Adoption is an act of love by two different sets of families. The one who gives up the baby loves the baby enough to want it to have a good life; the other family loves the baby enough to want to give it a good life. I have a coworker who 10 days ago he and his wife picked up their new-born adopted son from his birth mother. They were selected by the Mom from among many other couples who are seeking to adopt babies. His first daughter was adopted in the same way. Both families get to know one another and participate in the birth of the baby. I am so thankful that these young mothers have been brave enough and loved their children enough to give them up to worthy parents.

And "No one wants to be an adoptee"?? That's ridiculous! That's like saying no one wants to be born with the predisposition to obesity or clumsiness or brown eyes and red hair with freckles. I think I'm going to throw up--these people make me so sick!

Amen! This is one of the reasons my wife and I are partial to Wendy's because they are unabashedly pro-life and pro-adoption.

[wagglebee]

I agree, the notion that a woman can never recover from allowing a loving family to adopt her child, but will have no problem recovering from murdering the child would be laughable except for the FACT that an American baby is murdered EVERY 24 SECONDS.

[jonrick46]

It fits into their Marxist goal: destroy the institution of marriage and the family and move the State into the rearing of children. By putting adoption out of reach, those children who escaped being killed by abortion, would be taken into State homes; never to know the love of a mother (female) and father (male) who are married.

The Left will take this nation down if it does not stop.

[jonrick46]

You put it very well. What your post brought to mind is the aspect of envy. When a woman sees her child going to a loving couple, and resentment builds in her heart, does not that describe the human emotion of envy? Those who work to fuel this envy are working for a very dark purpose. And they know what they are doing and how effective it works for their Marxist goals.

Though you would think that the maternal instinct of any mother would be for her child to have the best life possible and, though it is certainly painful, some women have the insight and courage to admit that it is in their baby's best interests to be raised by another family.

With most sins, even some pretty heinous ones, I usually think, “We are all weak,” and “They just don’t know,” but when it comes to these baby-killers, I really want God to “get them,” as you say. Not the stupid young women, but the liars, the politicians, the Presidents of Notre Dame and Georgetown and Xavier, etc.

They do know, there is NOTHING in me that will ever believe that any person can fail to see the evil of infanticide.

[Soothesayer]

The ghouls will ultimately win. An increasing number of Americans are getting stupid enough to believe the lies.

[Soothesayer]

It can’t be done. There is no cure for liberalism but a total miracle.

[utahagen]

TV shows like TNT’s The Closer have episodes in which adopted kids turn out to be murderers. I’ve seen a sharp spike in story-lines that cast adoption in a very negative life. I believe this is obviously because the pro-abortion Hollywood folks want to neutralize assertions that there are positive alternatives to abortion.

[wagglebee]

I didn’t know that, but I’m not surprised.

“The adoption system is now virtually a North American phenomena - most other countries realize how barbaric it is toward mothers and children.”

When leftists argue for abortion - they call it “Women’s Rights.” When actually, it’s about the rights of the unborn. In reality, it isn’t about controlling what a woman does with her own body. But about what she does with another person’s life.

So, since they believe abortion is about women’s right, they also think adoption is about women’s rights. They think of adoption as making the mother go thru something horrid b/c she has to “let go” of her baby. It has nothing to do with what’s best for the child, but what’s best for the mother. I mean the poor thing can’t let her baby go off with people in a loving home, can she? She’d rather kill it so she’ll never have to witness that separation.

But this is a win/win/win situation. The mother can let her baby have life, and keep it at the same time. Or, she could make sure it goes to a home of her choice. Leftists choose lose/lose/lose.
