I don't agree it's a duty to give up a child for adoption, rather that in most instances it's the more responsible thing to do, and also in most instances better for the child than being raised by a single parent on welfare.

If families want to care for these children, it is certainly their business. But it is not my duty or my business or my responsibility or that of any taxpayer, to be forced into paying to raise, and feed and clothe these children, many of whom are brought into the world for that very purpose (to get mommy some free cash), also sickening, and in some cases, obscene.

Furthermore, today's situation is so bizarre, that young single motherhood, is becoming both equal in number and stature to married couple parenthood. As if one of those choices is as good as the other...it isn't.

The two best options, in most cases are to either get married and raise the child, or give the child up for adoption.

Why? If Twink & I are able & willing to raise our grandchild why should we let some stranger raise our blood? Not all adoptive parents are good parents. Many are wonderful but I remember a case in NJ where a adoptive mother killed her 2 sons because she didn't really want them, her husband did. It was many years ago but I remember thinking how sad it was.

I agree.

“Furthermore, today’s situation is so bizarre, that young single motherhood, is becoming both equal in number and stature to married couple parenthood. As if one of those choices is as good as the other...it isn’t.”

Again, I agree. Single motherhood is becoming equal or held up as some standard that’s ok. It’s not ok. And fathers have no say whatsoever.

I disagree about the adoption part. The best scenario is of course two married parents. If that isn’t happening, and that’s something that happens, the bio family should raise the kid.

Adoption is good option, in some cases. It’s certainly not the best option or only option. And, just because there are many couples unable to have their own kids, it doesn’t entitle them to other people’s kids.
