Reg,
I don't hear very much talk from either side about adoption. If my daughter were to become pregnant but felt she couldn't be the mother the child needs I would absolutely support her giving the child up for adoption. I think you mentioned something in your post about a young mother letting go of a child she brought into the world. I'm sure there are many emotional issues which go along with the decision to give a child up for adoption but in my mind everyone of those difficult emotional filled feelings trumps the anguish and guilt associated with an abortion.
To compound the despair of an unwanted pregnancy with the guilt of an abortion is a lot for any person to handle. Imagine the healing which could come from knowing that the child you brought into the world is providing so much love and getting so much love in return from a family in need.
