It seems strange that anyone would choose to abandon their kids, but I think that it's better to give people an option to surrender their kids at any age than to merely intervene once they are actually neglecting or abusing them.
I believe parents are morally obligated to take care of their children certainly, but it's probably a good idea to give them a legal option when they realize that for some reason that they can't.
I just have a hard time imagining that this is going to become a big trend, or at least a bigger trend than we would have seen with kids ending up in either foster care or youth detention centers had the parents been compelled to try to keep them.
