Right...and there ARE people out there wanting to give them those good homes.

Yes, I am aware of this. There is a couple in my church who adopted a now 4 year-old crack addicted baby and I have the utmost respect for them. This is not the norm, though.


If no one adopts the crack addicted baby, does that mean the child was better off being aborted?

No, I mentioned earlier that I am pro-life


What does "chosen ones" mean, anyway?

In the context of my last post, "chosen ones" refers to the babies that are not the ones people are flocking to adopt. See my previous post for criteria.


I know a man who was never adopted, raised in an orphanage and he has lead a good, solid life...you can't rate someone's quality of life until they are given the opportunity to live. In other words, you can't say that just because someone was born into bad circumstances, that their whole life, things will be bad for them.

This is true, but I never said otherwise. I was clarifying your statement that millions of people out there want to adopt children. That makes it sound like every, single child who is born will immediately be swooped up by a loving family and, sadly, that is not the case.

All I'm saying is...no one has the right to take the innocent life of another...not even its mother.

I agree with you on that point. But that is not all you're saying. You implied that every child that is conceived will end up being adopted if he/she is put up for placement. I wanted to set the record straight on that. I sincerely wish that were the case, but it isn't.

AlphaGamDiva, if you were counseling a pregnant, drug addicted woman, could you in good conscience tell her that if she has the child "millions of people" will be standing in line to adopt it? I know I couldn't. If you believe that women shouldn't have abortions, that's fine. But please don't base that argument on the premise that "millions of people" want to adopt. It is misleading.
