I understand exactly what you're saying about "working poor". When my mother was widowed, there were still 5 kids to care for but because she had a home she could get no aid at all. Her husband didn't believe in insurance of any kind and she was left to feed my siblings and keep a roof over all their heads. I resented extremely that she had to do this but couldn't get food stamps. It is terrible to see hardworking folk fall through those cracks.

The working poor have their backs up against a wall through no fault of their own.

I am hoping that I in no way implied that only the "super poor" are making adoption plans. I certainly don't think that. People make those plans for all types of reasons - all of which are valid in their particular circumstance.
