Adoption is a difficult but loving and unselfish alternative to abortion.
A woman should never be forced to give up her child because of factors that could be dealt with, however if a woman truly feels that this is the right decision, then with counseling, the normal separation grief will be better dealt with than abortion. There is no magic wand to make a baby disappear in an unplanned pregnancy – the answer is life or death for the child after conception. All of us know people who can’t have a child and can’t even get on adoption lists because there are so many abortions being done. We hope that women will look at adoption as a better choice, for themselves and for others. Help for the birth mother so she can be the best she can be after relinquishing her child. Sponsorship of an unborn child … this is a great plan for people to donate towards small things that might be an obstacle during a pregnancy or as a newborn. |
