I'm on another forum where a debate - actually it was a "who are you voting for?" thread that got out of hand - is raging about abortion and unplanned pregnancy. Of course, those opposed to abortion keep raising adoption as a choice, which yes, it is. There is also an adoption announcement on this same forum of someone's sister who just adopted a baby. Between the two threads, I keep seeing so many comments that just make me go "Ick!". Like the "wonderful gift" ones, and the one that made my skin crawl the most, "God bless the birth mother for being so unselfish to make someone else's dream come true". On the other thread, there's all these "she could just give up the baby" comments. People act like it's that easy! Like you just deposit the baby in a drop box. And what about the nine months in between?

I am glad we have this forum where all members of the triad can participate. I truly appreciate the birth mother's perspective, and I'm sorry for how utterly clueless some people can be.
