The adoption laws in this country are infreakingsane, please pardon. A judge here in Michigan just gagged all petitioners in an adoption dispute...the adoption had been finalized and 18 months later an Oakland County judge vacated the adoption. There are no codified adoption laws from state to state; in some states, like mine, there are no codified laws from county to county.
HOW can this do anything but wreak havoc in a child's already precarious life? Insane.
Adoption is so wonderful! But I know from experience many are very opposed to it. I worked as a child advocate and these folks would keep a child with an axe murderer just b/c she was the "natural" mother.
I just have a problem with SOME in the pro-life movement who thinks it ends with the child's birth. The whole picture needs to be examined. What do you do with a welfare mother who keeps popping out kids? She's not going to stop having sex, you can't sterilize her. It infuriates me.
