i don't feel that way. the baby is not being born eith to ten years down the road when things might be better. the baby is coming when it does and adoption can be good for some who don't want to be parents yet.

Adoption CAN BE a permanent solution to a temporary problem!

In MY situation this statement is SOOOO true! Temporary financial problems caused me to place my child for adoption. A year and a half after placement I was in a totally different place financially, no one bothered to tell me in crisis mode, that "this to shall pass". I wish ONE time someone would have made this statement to me, because if so, maybe I would be celebrating my son's 18th bday with him this month instead of 2000 miles apart!

So while this may not be true for all, it can be true for some.
