    Where is the whole discussion about adoption?!? Especially for the blond woman in Portland: obviously the decision to abort affected her greatly. It sounds as if she didn't even know that adoption was an option! That could have saved her a lot of crippling grief (not to mention saving the life of the baby!), and could have blessed a loving couple desperate for a baby of their own. I feel so sorry for her! But her reasoning is all twisted. How is it going to "make a better world" by depriving that baby to have a chance to grow up and contribute to society? And how is it a "better world" when her decision leaves her emotionally scarred, which could possibly damage her own ability to be a positive influence in her own circles.... There could be as many as two million couples waiting to adopt a baby! PLEASE pass the word and support ADOPTION as a solution that is life-affirming for everyone - a *truly loving* choice!

      Hey, I'm in her exact same position right now and I can say i fully understand where she's coming from and that abortion might be a real loving choice, but some people don't want to go through the feelings of carrying the child then giving them away. It's a good choice, I'm not saying it isn't, but as an 18 year old who's pregnant and wanting to finish my education as well, it feels just as hard as abortion... knowing that that's your child and giving them up. And as a teen it feels scarier because I'd have to birth them and watch them leave, but maybe I'm just selfish and not mentally prepared for that sort of choice

      Adoption is not always an option. I tried to do an adoption. Even left my baby in the hospital with an adoptive Mom...She returned my Baby 6 days later because she didn't want to wait for the paperwork to cross state lines...so now I am raising my baby who is 21 months...it is hell. I have no money, can't work because I don't have child care...I have a very religious unsupportive family and I am struggling mentally and emotionally and physically. I have 3 kids. 3 unplanned pregnancies and I believe that abortion is nessary because we live in such a shifty world. Adoption is human trafficking and we should outlaw it.

      I’m so sorry. I know this was 2 months ago but I hope you’re okay and finding peace in whatever situation you’re in now

      I, too, know that this is belated prayer, but I offer it. I pray that God has shown His Faithfulness and that you CAN breathe now.
