I've been thinking about how to respond to this... and I don't want to offend anyone. But, isn't this the reason birthmothers make an adoption plan? They believe, at that point in their lives, the child would be "better off"? I guess that was true in my daughter's birthmother's mind... But I personally have a hard time justifying my daughter being placed for financial reasons. I grew up in poverty; section 8 housing, food stamps, welfare, ect... Myself and my 3 siblings had a wonderful, loving childhood. And all but one of us have managed to break the poverty cycle. So, while I do not personally believe that my daughter is better off with me b/c her birthmother wasn't as financially secure as us... her birthmother did believe that.
So to answer your question; no, I do not think it is un-PC to believe our children are "better off". In some cases (such as drug use, abuse, racial issues...) it is absolutely the truth.
