Seems like I am under attack here for my opinion.

First off I never said anyone needed a luxury car, I said a SAFE car. Every child deserves a safe car to ride in.
Every child deserves a clean and safe home without gun fire, drug dealers and crime outside their front door.
Every child deserves to be able to go outside and play without mom worried about them being shot, raped or beaten.
Every child deserves good meals.
Every child deserves good medical care. Braces are not a luxury they are a necessity often for the good health and growth of the mouth, teeth and gums.
It goes without saying that every child deserves love, understanding, compassion and laughter. That's why I didn't mention it. I didn't think I needed to state the incredibly obvious, just the merely obvious.

The reason I brought up adoption is because I think it is a wonderful, unselfish, and very brave thing to do. The baby is in a good home, the adoptive couple gets to love a child they want ever so much and might not ever be able to have, and a young woman can go on with her life.
Adoption is not an ugly word.

Not every 15 year old has a supportive family that will help her to raise her child. Many a 15 year got this way because they were neglected, abused, or just in the way, many a 15 year old is being brought up by a drug addicted parent. I have heard these girls say when asked, "why do you want a baby at 13,14 15 and their reply was " I want someone to love me". They just want someone to love them and no one does. They are crying out for love themselves and for them to try and be a parent is horrible for all involved. They have no decent role models, no support, no help, no education or money and sadly most have no hope. Adoption is a blessing in these cases.

No you don't need money to be happy. But it helps. No parent wants to lay awake at night and worry how they are going to pay for food, water, rent and shoes. No decent parent wants to raise their child in provety. Love only goes so far when you are standing out in the street corner in the freezing rain with no where to go and a two year old on your arm.

How many grown woman would say "Yes I am glad I got knocked up at 15"
No one would say that, no one. Adoption is a lovely chance for all.

Yes many of you might have been raised by single moms in loving homes, but if you ask your mom if she would do things differently I am sure she would say "yes" No one wants to be poor and having a child at a young age without an education almost makes that a promise.

And no I am not angry or bitter. I am just surprised that more of you would rather see a child starve in the projects then be adopted.
