Hi, cyborg. Please see my reply #220.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if there are homes for unwed mothers in Latin America where women from Europe or North America can go to avoid what I think of as "peer pressure" abortion.

This is a wonderful service. One of the problems in the US is that there are no places for professional women to go - everything here is directed at lower income teenagers, which is certainly a worthy group, but it's going to be hard for the 45yr old female executive (of any color) to fit in!

One of other the big problems is that adoption in the US has become so conditional that many people simply don't want to do it. You can thank the pro-abortion groups for this - they hate adoption.

I happen to agree. Need the adoption version of Betty Ford clinics. However, I'm not sure how successful that will be. It's easier to get an early abortion and be done with it. I'm just guessing but a woman with money who doesn't mind will probably keep the baby and hire a nanny. Maybe aim it more towards the upper class 20 and 30 something crowd. I hate to be pessimistic but it'd have to be like Canyon Spa and Ranch for some of those to do such a thing.

My mom used to tell me that if a very rich girl got pregnant in her country, she went to live in the convent. The baby was given to some other family to raise. I think grown, professional women would be a challenge but nothing is impossible with God. Of course, what about the men :sigh: Women have to really think things through. We really do pay a larger price for immorality.

Not true. Check out The Nurturing Network. They've been around for 20 years.
