Yup - A poll of birthmothers on this forum says that nearly 68% felt coersion from various sources.
My list -
1- All women who experience an unplanned pregnancy were not using birth control responsibly, therefore should not expect help from anyone.
2- Unplanned = unwanted = future juvenile deliquent.
3- Potential birth families are poor stupid people who do not have feelings like the rest of us so they "change their tune", "act on a whim", and "arbitrarily change their minds" about the future of their children, especially if they decide to parent. In that case, God help the poor doomed child.
4- Being young and/or poor means that you have nothing to offer a child, and his well-being depends on finding an adoptive family who can buy him every piece of crap on earth AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
5- Open adoption won't hurt because you get to "take charge and decide who will parent your child". (Yea right. Sell it to someone else.)
6- Birth parents who want contact with their children are overly demanding, putting an unreasonable burden on the adoptive family, and confusing the child.
Sigh - Monday is around the corner. I guess I am crabby too.
Happy G'Ma
