Uncertainty for families as China ends foreign adoptions

[LeftInTX]

20. There are legit reasons for adoption, such as an abusive parent etc.

Putting all teen moms in homes for unwed mothers is wrong, but there are cases where adoption is the best option. Banning adoption is not a solution. Sharing DNA does not make someone a parent. Yes, there are plenty of young women who were forced to relinquish their infants, but there are also those who are not suited for and even dangerous for parenting.

All but one of these cases are local and recent. (Except baby Gabriel was in 2010)

I'm sorry you had a bad experience, but it doesn't mean adoption should be banned. Because there were baby brokers in the past doesn't mean that all women who give birth should raise their kids.
