There are many "accidental" fathers too who do not want their lovers to abort their child, but have no say in the matter if the woman wants to kill the child. His "choice" is meaningless, it seems.

You're right. This isn't a one way street, and good fathers are often vilified.

If a father wants the baby and the mother doesn't, she can abort. That's wrong. The mother doesn't have to have custody, she can give the baby completely to the father. Like in an adoption, this is a completely selfless act, and worthy of any woman in an unplanned pregnancy who doesn't want the baby, but the father does.

But it seems pride gets in the way (I don't want this baby, but you can't have it either, so I'm having an abortion).

It's truly a sad commentary on our society, and human nature in general.

To all mothers who've given up their children to adoption, GOD BLESS YOU! You are selfless and humble, and pillars of strength.

To all mother and fathers who adopt, GOD BLESS YOU!

And to all children who are adopted: you are doubly loved, by your birth mother and your adoptive parents.
