These folks want freedom and freedom from guilt. Hence kill the child rather than feel guilty about the child growing up without his true parents....commonly understood to be every orphaned/adopted/divorced child’s greatest deepest yearninf/quesrion.
Someone else taking over for them makes them feel too guilty. So they shake their head and walk right in to pay the hit man.
Not only do adoption agencies need to prepare, but schools as well. In 5 years there will be a lot more kids.
Or maybe people, both women and men, will decided to be less promiscuous than they otherwise would have been before the ruling. The standard “easy fix” of the last 50 years might cause them to think things through.
There’s 3 supply streams of children for adoption. Domestic newborns, older foster care, and international, usually from 3rd world countries.
There’s 100k+ children whose parents rights have been severed who are available for adoption. They are older, most were abused or neglected and have emotional and physical issues. No one wants them. Most counties will assist you in adopting, some will literally pay you.
There’s an estimate that there’s about 35 prospective adoptive parents for each healthy white newborn that is surrendered. Those are the children that cost 10’s of thousands of dollars to adopt. You know where that money goes? To the lawyers and the agencies. The mother can only be payed “reasonable expenses”. You know why many change their minds? Once the child is born and they see and hold it they realize they are making a horrible mistake. No woman should be coerced into giving their child up. Maybe provide assistance to her so she can keep her child?
International adoption is a hornets nest of corruption, falsified documents, bribery, kidnapping, and human trafficking. The costs can be 10’s of thousands of dollars, much of it in “fees” to government officials. It’s honorable to want to provide a good home to a child in an orphanage living in poverty, but many of these children have families and don’t understand the western concept of adoption, but they are continents apart and by the time they realize what’s happened, they have no recourse.
So my point is this, it’s expensive, yes. But if you really want to adopt, there’s thousands of children available. It’s an honorable thing to want to do something for a child that has had a bad life. But adoption of children who already has a family only needs assistance for a time should not be coerced into giving away their child.
Over my dead body will any child, grandchild, or greatgrandchild of mine will be given to strangers.
Why should the parents sign away their rights if they want their baby? Children who ended up in foster care weren’t considered for adoption
I was adopted at birth. It is the most lonely existence. I always felt like I just landed out of space. But we are constantly bombarded with the message that adoption is beautiful, we are lucky, we were so wanted, it was God’s plan, etc. So we think something is wrong with us, bury our thoughts and feelings on the subject due to fear of rejection by our parents, after all, our birth parents gave us away. It was years, decades, before I could face those thoughts and verbalize them without fear.
Over my dead body will any descendent of mine be given to strangers while I have the breath in my body
