There are plenty of loving, gay/lesbian/transgender people and couples out there that would love to raise a child!
 
Of course many of them have no interest in adopting a newborn baby. There are way too many children waiting to be adopted for more babies to be put on the adoption market.

Okay. Does that mean girls and women should be forced to stay pregnant and give birth against their will to supply these folks with infants? Nope, I don't think so. Adoption doesn't solve the problem for the girl/woman who doesn't want to be pregnant.

And there are probably 100,000 waiting to be adopted.

A woman is not a broodmare for the childless and infertile.

This is not a "gay or lesbian issue" except to say the children available for adoption should be available to gays and lesbians.
 
I can only assume by the fact that this was posted under "Abortion" that you're offering this as an alternative to abortion, but correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm right though, my response is... "so?" & this is coming from me, someone adopted at birth. Adoption is great; I strongly recommend it over bringing more children into the world for environmental reasons on top of the fact that there are already hundreds of thousands of children in the US foster care system alone. Abortion is one way to prevent this number from increasing, especially when you consider the fact that not many people adopt children.

And?

Also, a simple scan of the first page or so of this sub-forum has threads that could probably 'inform' you well on that...right in the first few posts.


Why not adoption/foster care?

Just give birth and give it up. Easy-peazy - abortion avoided.




This is the barely coherent and grammatically inept speech of a man who desperately wants to be able to claim that he "cured coronavirus."

That's it, in a nutshell. When we do get a handle on this crisis, he wants to be able to pull out footage and declare "I called it! I said use this! I said try this! I told them to do this, it was my idea!" He's just doing it with lots of stupid stuff because he doesnt want to miss an opportunity. He's afraid 'the big one' will be mentioned and he wont get credit for it.

It's all about declaring himself the savior of the cv crisis and we'll hear all about it, esp in his campaign. (Which is basically each of his press briefings these days) --- Lursa

There are over 400,000 children in the foster care system waiting for adoption.

Not exactly. Not all kids in the foster care system are available for adoption. Many have parents that dont currently have custody for many reasons.

There are however, more than 100,000 kids in the US that are available for adoption.
