The correct answer is private adoption so the baby has a mother and father.
Children raised by unwed mothers is where the Lord of the flies society is coming from.
My friends think Paul Simon: “A bad day is when lie in bed and think of things that might have been”
Carly Simon: “That’s the way I always heard it should be”
Marriage is a ball and chain on most women. There aren’t enough good guys out there. We’re a wealthy nation. Too much out there to experience and kids get in the way. Think of when BJ introduced the term ‘soccer moms’. ‘Gosh this guy cares more about me than the louse I married.’ By the time the guy is gone it’s too late so Uncle Sugar will be there.
Unfortunately, there is not a huge market for black babies, or so I’ve read.
We adopted two babies through private adoptions. Both of them grew up knowing their biological parents.
Varda: The correct answer is private adoption so the baby has a mother and father.
I agree with the adoption approach, but with it I want both biological parents to pay child support to the foster parents. We need to quit removing the natural consequences from the people making bad decisions. Both adoption and abortion encourage making babies out of wedlock because both "solutions" remove the burden of raising kids from the people choosing to make the kids.
The goal should be to reduce the rate of pregnancies out of wedlock. That can be done but only by changing the habits of the people creating the pregnancies. The Great Depression is an example of people figuring out how to reduce their birth rates when raising kids was too large of a burden (at least in the cities and suburbs -- families on self-sustaining farms didn't reduce their birth rates). Abortion combined with the welfare state has put up an educational barrier preventing people from learning life lessons.
