"But I want to have a good life. And provide a good life for my child." To keep this baby now, she says, when she's single, broke and about to start college, "would be unfair." ...........

This is a silly question unrelated, and I salute you for adopting.

I am _told_ that there is a surplus of black babies available for adoption. Someone has suggested that the reason so many people (including two couples I personally know) go through such great lengths to get Asian adoptions rather than black babies is because of some kind of racial issue.

True or false? My sister is interested currently in adopting black twins and says there no trouble in finding them.

BTTT. Indeed. Some of us would love to and be priveleged to raise a child or another child. Fair to whom? Her? She doesn't want it now so no one can have it? She's broke and single? Some very famous people who have influenced and changed our society for the better have had the most humble beginnings.

.The ultimate selfishness of abortion was articulated beautifully by a woman with whom I had the conversation. She said "If I didn't want the baby I'd have an abortion. I wouldn't be able to just give it away--that would be so hard."
