I believe that the pro-life movement should put more emphasis on private charitable programs to encourage adoption, both financially and otherwise. The way I look at it is this: if we, as pro-lifers, would get our wish and all (non-health related) abortions were to end tomorrow, would our adoption system be robust enough to care for the unwanted children that would result? I know there are families that are waiting to adopt, but as the article points out there are also children who are in need of a home and can't find one. I believe this is an opportunity for us to put our words into action in a constructive way. I say this as someone who has not adopted but I have and will continue to consider it and support others who do.<br><br>A few months ago I looked around for an organization that was involved in that sort of work but I didn't find much that was noteworthy. I'm looking forward to learning more about this organization and seeing if it might be something I could get involved in. Thank you for pointing me to look at arrow.org.

It is an industry. It is a money making enterprise. Few adoptees are adopted into families like the Reagan wealth and advantages. The adoption industry in the US is filled children taken from other countries. Ask yourself why. The adoption industry buries their failures when they made deadly placements. The adoption industry disallow gays to adopt any child needing a home. The rosy view of adoption and calling children "placements" is wrong. regulate the adoption industry federally.

My wife and I recently adopted a son, and it has the pinnacle of my life to date. I encourage those considering children to review the adoption route and encourage state legislature to review sometimes antiquated adoption laws that needlessly burden the process. I would also like to thank the thousands of foster parents who give of themselves to improve a complicated and difficult situation (and in some cases end up adopting the more complicated and challenging placements).
