How many children do you foster? How many have you adopted? 3, 4, 10, 100?

Funny you should ask I work in a fostering program and have much more experience I’d wager with foster children both those taken from homes and those given up for adoption. However just because a child isn’t wanted and is in foster care does not mean you should be able to kill it.

Sure, once they are a child. But before that point wouldn’t it be great if they never wound up in the system? Anti-abortion people always bring up the "well put the baby up for adoption " idea, and my point is that’s not really a viable solution in America. Also, you didn’t answer my question. How many have You adopted? Because if it’s not at least 1, and probably should be more, your a hypocrite. You don’t want to care for a child, or judge you don’t have the means or capacity to, so you don’t adopt. Which is the same decision these women have come to in many cases.

Look into the statistics of age ranges for foster care/adoption, I think you will be very surprised at the data. But unfortunately regardless of how many children are left in poor life circumstances because of a failure by the government to give adequate incentives to promote fostering/adoption as well as funding to foster care organizations that does not change the morality of killing a healthy baby that would, if left to nature, be born. As I responded to another person, want and convenience does not dictate morality. Just because we don’t have the perfect solutions doesn’t mean we can stop playing the game.
