I just had a whole thing written down and my stupid computer erased it
Anyway, what I basically had said before was that there are so many "what if?" questions you can ask regarding this issue. We all have our opinions and and I don't think we're right and I don't think we're wrong. It's one of those issues that can and will be debated till the end of time.
Several have mentioned stories about friends and family and even themselves being adopted. I have a cousin that is adopted. I love her with all my heart. She's smart, sweet, funny, and an all around beautiful girl.
My aunt had several miscarriages and thought she would never be able to have children of her own (although after she adopted she had 2 children of her own). Now, what if the birth mother had chosen abortion instread of adoption? Well my cousin would never have been born. Would I have missed her? Well no. That may sound odd, but how can I love someone I have never met, I can I be attached to them when they don't exist? For the birth mother, the feelings will obviously be different, because there was the potential for a child (keeping in mind that I am pro-choice and I have different views on when the child actually becomes a child). My cousin could have gone to another family and I would never have had her in my life, and really, as cruel as this may sound, I wouldn't have cared about her because she would never have been a part of my life.
I hope I made sense, and didn't offend anyone. It's not my intention to offend anyone. I'm just stating my opinion.
