Why do you think there are people who want to adopt go to other countries to do so, it is just somewhat easier than it is in this country.

There is such a demand for such babies (due to abortion) that to fill the demand people import babies. China seems to be a hot spot now to adopt.

This little innocent life could be someone very loved baby, something that others call a "mistake" would be a "blessing" in another person's eyes.

I agree. If she is capable of having the child she should IMO. However am I the only one to wonder if she is physically capable of carrying a child to term? Thirteen is very young. Some thirteen year olds might, with some difficulty, while for others it could be dangerous.

I guess since no one else has even brought it up she must be very mature for her age.

People don't go to other countries to adopt because the domestic orphanages are empty; they do so to avoid the beaucratic red tape which is set up to ensure that child molestors and unfit/incompetent people do not get their hands on children.

That and the fact that nobody (generally speaking) wants to adopt crack babies or children with a history of abuse or emotional problems.

Abortion hasn't dried out this country's supply of children in need of a home, forcing prospective adopters to look elsewhere; cheaper travel and better access to information has allowed people to bypass hassle and wait times and cherry-pick the kid they want.
