I simply don't understand why girls and women don't deal with their unwanted pregnancies differently. If they don't feel that abortion is an option for them, definitely give the child up for adoption. Where I live, there are usually about 6 babies available per year for adoption, and you can bet there are many, many couples who would like to adopt them. Nobody is forcing these mothers to keep their babies. What makes someone think that dumping and/or killing their baby is the only solution?

I hate to say it guys, but this is why i don't watch television, or keep up with the news much. With my line of work, it just hurts too much to have situatons I can't personally change. I guess I'm too used to being able to help...

i know how u feel. when i got close to having mine i saw on tv the baby dumped in a feild. then after i had my son the mother who dumped her newborn behind a house. its sickens me and upsets me at the same time.  y would u do that to a defenseless child.  my heart breaks for those mothers

Oh how that would hurt!  I understand your pain- that's why places here talk about safe places like hospitals where people can take their babies with minimal paperwork etc. And yet they're not really needed here- we get a horror story of it every few years= there was a baby found in the garbage at Walmart a while back. But to hear of that on a regular basis= no wonder your heart cries! That's something they should look at there= if people aren't using safe turn in places, then there's too much paperwork, stigma or other barriers, and they really need to be addressed!
