Same thing happened to my husband in 1953. He was given to a Catholic nunnery and they were told the birth parents had too many children. It was a closed adoption, he never met his birth mother.

So many couples are waiting to adopt, it is so hard monetarily to do though. Last I heard it cost a minimum of $10,000 to hire a lawyer to adopt. That is why so many young couples foster. They do take the drug addicted, physically challenged, mentally marginalized babies to care for while their birth mother has an opportunity to clean up and be a mother. Most never do, but the fear of losing your foster child to a messed up mother for years is traumatic. Can't lawyers reduce their fees a little to help more children to be saved from the forceps?

Adoption is the way to go!

Even being a foster parent is good also. God Bless those who both adopt and do fostering as well.
