I do think there is a stereotype in adoption that paints birth parents are irresponsible, dirt poor, uneducated teenagers who are homeless or on the verge. While I believe that this is a reality for some birth parents and some situations - it is not, in my opinion, the status quo. It most certainly doesn't ring true for me.

I wasn't saying that anyone here had said those words - but more addressing an unspoken assumption that I see all to often in the community.
