Well, I don't know if a one-armed abortion survivor has a "rosey" story. Nevertheless, allow me to paint a less rosey picture, but one that nevertheless indicates adoption should be a seiously-considered alternative to abortion. First I've got to repeat Jay Leno's joke last night:
One of the networks is running a reality show where 5 couples compete to adopt a baby. That's so sick, even Fox didn't want to do it. However, the other 4 contestants don't go home empty-handed -- they get to adopt a crack baby of their choice.
So, Jay's joke may have poor taste, but it certainly reflects reality. People are falling over themselves to adopt kids here. They fly to South America, Russia, and China to adopt children. If the child is lucky enough to have white or light skin, it will have lawyers, doctors, professors, etc. literally fighting each other for it. A child is not shit-outta-luck just because the mother didn't keep it.
