Michelle,
I've heard that one too. As if giving up all of your right to privacy in order to have your background checked thoroughly, your body poked and proded in areas having nothing to do with childbirth, your home gone through with a fine tooth comb, endless paperwork, and all that waiting hoping to God that the **/BF doesn't change his/her mind (at which point you could easily be financially and emotionally devastated) is "the easy way out".
Let's face it--if all potential parents were made to go through what we potential adoptive parents go through the world might be a better place. And after you survive all that, you get to deal with these stupid comments. How ironic.
The point is, it matters not where the child "comes from". What matters is what you do once they're here. Parenting is the great equalizer.
