I placed for financial reasons as well. Nothing like what you posted - but enough so that I didn't feel I could provide for myself, my son and the daughter I was pregnant with. We were already getting all of the help that was available to us, but it wasn't much - due to other circumstances.

There are a class of people, called the 'working poor' who don't qualify for services, but can't afford to meet the basic needs of their families. It is these people who are most at risk.

If I had been poorer and unemployed, there is a good chance I would have made the decision to parent, beacuse I would have had the services available to me to help me do that. However, because I didn't have those services, I felt I had no other choice.

So, at least in my case, it's not always the super poor who are making adoption plans...

Within 2 years of her birth, I was moving into my new home, driving a new vehicle with an excess in the bank (not huge, but helpful).
