What are you talking about? What do you think Plan B is? Hint - it's not an abortion pill.

As for apotion, domestic adoption today is more transparent than ever before, and increasingly defined by healthier choices for both birth families and adoptive families.

The fact that more than 18,000 American families successfully adopt newborn babies in the United States every year disproved the myth that domestic adoption is difficult, time-consuming, expensive and risky. The truth is that most families successfully adopt within two years of beginning the process.

Just because we didn't call you up to let you know what we were up to doesn't mean things weren't being improved over the years.

@Graylight look at prochoice group like planned slaughterhood they call for abortion laws to be revoked only nothing about adoption. And adoption is expensive costing 1000s of dollars. My parents are working on adopting again right now though they are looking at an older child this time last time it was 2 brothers. Which is an open adoption with their grandparents. They see them regularly and they even have joined us for holidays and such. Even through the foster care system it's going to cost money to adopt

@Mountainlady16 Planned Parenthood has trained staff who will counsel you about options for adoption.

Foster care and adoption are two different things, though they cross occasionally. Don't confuse the two.

As for cost, do you have any idea what it cost to have a child? Hospital expenses alone can far exceed those of adoption. Prenatal, delivery-related and post-partum healthcare, can cost, on average, $8,802 accd. to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project.

@Graylight and most insurance cover those costs guess what my husband and I paid for all 3 of our pregnancies less than 500 mostly for meds

@Mountainlady16 That likely wasn't insurance. It was probably taxpayers.

Abortion is a choice. Adoption is a choice. Having a child in the hospital is a choice.

I don't tread on your choice to have society help raise three children who will need social welfare eventually. Don't tread on the choice of women to control their own bodies, even if you've given up control of yours.
