Parenting is also a permanent decision, and for those who are not ready or who simply do not desire it (not everyone wants to raise children and that is perfectly ok) finances won't matter much either way.

You are absolutely correct! But we do a disservice to expectant mom's not to mention this, ALL options, ANY and ALL information should be shared. You never know what might help one expectant mom make that final decision that only she has to live with forever.
So, I stand behind what I say, if ONE person had said that to me, I might not be where I am today. I was led to believe that my financial situation was not good enough to bring a child into. We are failing our expectant mom's who are CONSIDERING adoption by not making sure that they are making fully informed decisions and fully informed means giving them scenarios that can take place today, tomorrow and next week. IMO
