Why does it seem like nobody ever wants to consider adoption?
I see so many questions asking if they should keep their baby or get an abortion. Why does it seem as though nobody considers adoption?

I think it's harder on the parent to always know what happened to the child they gave away.

Because for some it's more torture to carry a child for 9 months and give them away.

Because I think that for more people, it's harder to think about giving away their child than killing it before they can imagine it having a face. Also, they still have to carry it for nine months and they give it away.
Plus it's not an option that churches or pro-choice groups talk about. It's either kill it or have it. The end.

Because it is not as simple as one would think. It isn't fun and games to go through a pregnancy, bond with the fetus, and then give it away.
I've known plenty of women to cry and become depressed after their baby goes with the adoptive parents. There's been situations at the hospital I work at where the mother has to stay longer after the baby is discharged because she has become depressed, won't eat, won't drink, becomes dehydrated. Some have been brought in from attempted suicide because they changed their minds too late.
Some women cannot even afford prenatal care. And if something is wrong with the fetus, adoptive parents might wind up backing out.

Most human beings do not want to take responsibility for their actions. They want a quick and easy fix. God forbid they actually had to give birth and fight the natural instincts to be a caregiver. Much easier to just scoop it out and move on. Sad, but true.

Who cares? When they ask their question everybody and their mom is going to suggest adoption

just looked at a question about boyfriend wanting an abortion and girl not.

Because people like to Create their OWN Problems…-they're not interested in helping someone elses…

cause I would never want to put a child into a lonely life with no family and no future. Plus i couldn't live with knowing that my child is out there somewhere.

because they're too selfish to let their child have a better life with a better family

I look at it this way. There are SO many orphans in the world already who need safe and secure homes. I would not consider adoption because I couldn't handle giving my baby over to someone without knowing that they were going to take care of my child the way I would. I don't agree with certain parenting techniques and could never forgive myself if my child ended up with a parent that didn't take care of them well enough for my liking. You already have the guilt of giving away your baby!
I have never had an abortion, but if I were to have an unplanned pregnancy I don't think adoption would be an option that I could use. I'd probably keep the child and raise it myself rather than the other two options unless there was a health factor involved.

I am sure its considered but to hard of an option. I had a friend who gave her baby up for adoption and directly afterward went straight to heroin and 5 years later she is off heroin but cries every night. also, the children I knew growing up that were adopted had a lot harder time in school with kids and eventually turned to drugs/erratic behavior as well. like somebody said in a previous comment, it is a lot easier to abort a child before it has a face/brain than it is to give it up after bonding with the baby, feeling the baby and hearing its cry after 9 months.

I suppose pregnancy is hard for someone who really doesn't want it. a young girl maybe terrified of having a baby.
Personally i think sex education is pathetic.. Everywhere you look in newspapers there are articles on infertility. I knew a girl that used aspartame as contraceptives because an article said that it puts your fertility to zero. Another woman i know stopped using the pill age 38 because the media is obsessed with infertility in older women. The girl who took aspartame got pregnant and kept it. The 38 year old aborted hers. Its amazing what some intelligent people believe… So i think that education would reduce abortions.
Doc Benji makes a very good point. I take it that you are on the adoption list?
Im sorry if you are but you cant expect other people to fulfil your dreams

Because they are selfish, I hear a lot of people say I cant take the pain of giving my child up that i carried inside of me for 9 months and then just give it away, after I bonded with it, so they would rather kill their child because it is easier for them. Its selfish, they dont think about the baby they just think about themselves, or they just plain dont want to be pregnant, yes some woman were raped and then ok if that's what you want then go ahead even though i think that is wrong, but i wont judge in that case, but the majority are just plain selfish using abortion as a form of birth control, people like that dont deserve to be parents at all.
It is hard to give a child up, but it would be what is best for the baby. so they get depressed, so they wont eat, ect… it was their choice they had sex, once you become pregnant it is not about you anymore. Its about the baby. If you dont want a baby then dont have sex, its that simple.

Because adoption is harder. With abortion its done in a snap. The baby is gone. However with adoption, you have to carry the baby to term, then give birth and then give the child to the waiting adoptive parents. While in my opinion, this is clearly the best decision vs. abortion, but it is a hard thing to do. It requires a lot of emotional strength and unselfishness… some people just aren't willing, or aren't able to do/give that.
