Give a Baby Away, No Questions Asked

I think the time has come to trade newborn lives like Pokemon cards.

Wow.

While I think this is generally a better option for "young mothers" than abortion, I can't help but think that the mental scars of "running away from your mistake" will still be with them for the rest of their lives, nonetheless.

All I can say is I'm glad I'm not a woman (and I'm sure you all are glad I'm not a woman, as well) -- I don't think I could handle a decision like that, especially at a young age.

I would have liked it if they went into a little bit more detail as far as what happens to the baby a.) within the first two weeks and b.) immediately after that.

Ok, I'll bite: how is this different from adoption, save for the shorter planning time?

At any rate, after four consecutive baby stories, I'm hoping the Ping goes back to some more timely issues, for example, the market.

I don't know, Ryan... I probably wouldn't mind if you were a woman if you were hot. But... I've got a feeling that you just wouldn't be...

As for how this is different from adoption... I'd guess it's probably just the shorter planning time. The mother wouldn't have to get involved with some adoption agency or anything. She'd give birth and leave it at the hospital and that's that. Beyond that, it doesn't seem drastically different.

Don't the children generally stay with their mother until they're adopted? Or at least sometimes? I have zero experience in this realm, but this would be the only other difference I could think of...

The way I heard the law is that the child can be dropped off a the police station with no questions asked. It will be taken care of for two weeks in which time the mother could come back and claim her baby. If she does not, the baby is considered an abandoned baby and can be put up for adoption. The main idea behind this was to prevent babies from being thrown away in the trash or whatever by young girls who were scared to death about anyone knowing about thier pregnancies or having to take on the responsibilities of parenthood. Apparently there was such a high rate of babies in trash cans or bathrooms or whatever that they had to provide another option for the mother. At least now the child has a chance to survive.

Perhaps I am crippled by sanity, but how is it that someone can be so scared of their parents' tyrrany that they would kill a totally defenseless newborn? It's a staggeringly disturbing thought...

If you keep posting stuff like that on the net, you'll probably start getting a lot of people offering to at least try to give you one.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for well over a year. We are now looking into adoption. We really do not want to go through an agency. To me, it seems like they are only out to make a few bucks. I wish there was a way to reach out to these girls and let them know that there are couples willing to help them and that adoption is not a bad option. They are giving the most precious gift to someone. A baby.
