Since I am adopted, I figure that it is expected that I have a post on this topic. Of course my opinion is that adoption is the best road to choose. However, this can also be proved logically. There are many benefits to the mother questioning whether she will be able to handle abortion mentally. Many women still may choose abortion, but if positive aspects of adoption were advocated more by pro-life supporters, I believe that women may choose that path.
For women considering adoption there are counselors that are available to help them every step of the way. There are people that will help pregnant teenagers go to the doctor and birth seminars when they have no one to support them. Also, sometimes the family getting the child wlil pay for all medical expenses. The birth mother can also be at ease knowing that their child is living and in a good home if she chooses to know.
The child being born and the people adopting the child also benefit greatly. The child will be in a home where they are wanted and loved. There are also resources and provisions that might not have been available otherwise. The adoptive parents have the chance to take care of a child when they might not have been able to have children of their own.
Many organizations such as the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption advocate adoption as the best choice. If pro-life and pro-choice supporters both supported these organizations then women would realize that there are other options. Also, the woman would not risk mentally questioning whether she made the right choice. Everyone would benefit in the situation.
