I agree with both sides BUT the truth is (IMO) there are A LOT of children that should have been adopted at birth. Look at all of the children in foster care; they could have been spared the agony of abuse/neglect if they were adopted at birth. Yes, adoption includes loss but the main reason for adoption is child’s best interest. In my opinion being a parents is a job that ends with the parents death; not, when the child is 18 or 21-parenting is a life long commitment-even now, at age thirty-eight, I still ask my aparents for advice. Adoption can be good for the child (IMO) if the bparents aren't emotionally and physically ready, and that's a fact!

It's hard for me. I had a crappy hand dealt and thankfully made the best out of what could have been a very, very bad thing. Some first families aren't so lucky. Some adoptive families aren't so lucky. And the true sadness lies in the fact that some adoptees/children aren't so lucky either
