im doing a research paper for my school about how giving up a baby is way better than having an abortion!help!

Question

i need help i cant find nothing on the web about this information!!!please!!

Answer 1

You probably won't find much. It's a personal decision for everyone. And everyone will view it differently. As a parent of an adopted child, I think that adoption is wonderful. There are so many couples out there with the capabilities of loving a child, and can't due to whatever reason. It breaks my heart to hear of women aborting 5 and 6 fetuses. But that is their decision. If the world was perfect, there would be no abortion. I just think that what better gift could you give than a child to someone unable to have one themselves. To give so unselfishly of yourself to better another. Well, it's only my opinion, but I hoped I helped!

Answer 2

You can get info from pregnancy help centers in your area- or better yet- you can hear from a person who has 3 people in her family that were adopted. If their birth moms had aborted them, there would be 3 less people in the world. I am one of those people- I am 48 years old, and my birth mom chose life for me, and placed me in a wonderful adopted family. I grew up and married a wonderful man who I have been married to for 25 years. Our 2 kids are adopted as well. We met both of their birth moms, and they were both pressured to abort their babies- if they had done that we would not have our 15 and 18 year old now. By the way, just a suggestion for your paper- do not use the word give up a baby- because that puts a very negative slant on something very beautiful and loving- placing for adoption is the right way to say that.

Answer 3

I can only give you my perspective on this, as it is a pro choice world in the US, and in many other places around the world.

I am a Waiting Parent for Domestic adoption. My husband and I have been trying to build a family since our marriage in 2000. We have been through 3 miscarriages, one natural conception, then many attempts with IUI's, and then IVF, where, we lost twins. We soon realized at our age, that the way that we could become parents was through the adoption option.

With that said, I am a huge supporter of your statement, however, also understand that my feelings now are truly "selfish", and that I am not honoring a "woman's right to choose"........

Abortion is a very physical strain, and in the long term for many, an emotional one, when a woman realizes the severity of it as she matures. Some never think twice, but I guarantee, most have regrets.

As a Waiting Parent, if a birth mother chooses to place her child with an adoptive couple, I can only say that she may not realize what a wonderful gift she is giving a couple who may not be able to concieve themselves, and truly only want one thing.............to be Parents. It is very difficult for even young birth mothers to make this decision after going through the long 9 months of carrying her child, with the emotional and physical toll. She will more than likely also, Never, forget her child, thinking of him/her each day, and especially on birth days. It is such a selfless act, and as I said, a gift that is so wonderful.

Answer 4

I am just resonding to someone on here who said that planned parenthood refers almost none of their patients to adoption. Granted I am only one case and I suppose that would classify as "almost none", I wanted to share my experience. I went to planned parenthood with the full intention of having an abortion. I was scared, young, and not ready for the idea of a having a baby. However, when I found out that I was a lot farther along in the pregnancy than I had suspected, I clearly had second thoughts. Not only would they not perform the abortion on me, but I was personally spoken to by the medical supervisor on at the time, who sat me down, and counseled me about ALL of my options, including abortion and she gave me some resources to get my decision process started. I know this may not help your question entirely, but I just wanted to make sure that people get the right information about planned parenthood. Women have the right to choose, and it is very important to keep them educated on all of their choices. Abortion, adotion, and child rearing.

Answer 5

Well, my brother-in-law and his wife are adopting a baby in September, and they couldn't have asked for a better blessing. They tried to have one of their own, and tried fertility, but they just couldn't conceive. The woman who is giving her baby up for adoption already had 4 kids of her own, plus her husband had 2 more from another woman, so this baby is her 7th. She didn't want an abortion, and feels that my bro-in-law and his wife are the perfect couple.
Adoption, in my opinion, is the best option simply because it allows a life to live and allows a family to love someone whom they never could have loved without the adoption.

Answer 6

The only way to answer this question is to take a poll of women who have been there. There is no easy way out. No matter what a woman chooses she still has to live with a decision that she cannot take back. It is very heart breaking and life changing experience. You should talk with local charities that handle adoption and abortion counseling to get a better idea. Do your best to politics out of it. This is something that is harsher and more important than that.

Answer 7

Go to adoption websites or crisis pregnancy websites. You could also call a local crisis pregnancy center and ask them for some info and resources.

Do NOT check planned parenthood. They perform 1 out of every 5 abortions in this country and they refer almost NONE of their clients for adoption. I have done my research on this.

Best of luck.

Answer 8

Look on the internet about all the couples that are trying to have children and can't. They would love to adopt a child. When children can have a good family and a good home...why would you get an abortion? There's tons of boards on the web about women who have tried for years. You could find statistics on the leading cause of infertility, and you could also find stastics on the number of children adopted, or couples looking to adopt. Good luck with your paper.

Answer 9

I'd say get an abortion. Me being the Devil's advocate here, a Human being throughout his lifetime emits millions upon millions of tons of CO2 into the air. The last thing this precious atmosphere needs is another car on the roads, or another house being contructed.

Answer 10

How approximately who you think of could be the subsequent President: what considerable messes Bush is leaving for the subsequent guy to freshen up: what solid character traits the subsequent person elected would desire to very own: and , being that each President leaves in the back of issues that they are accepted for, how or what lasting outcomes they're going to go away as quickly as they are long long previous. in ordinary terms a handbook :)
