Instead of abortion or adoption, what about kinship caregiving?

February 24, 2020/0 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Ask any midwife to list a book she read on her journey towards birth work, and she will undoubtedly mention Ina May Gaskin’s Spiritual Midwifery. Those who aren’t the naturalistic hippie types will definitely raise a brow at her use of “psychedelic” language and philosophy, but her work as a midwife can’t be dismissed. She […]

[The original FB post where we collected these answers can be found here. We’ve since created a FB album with more such perspectives here.] Recently, “The Good Place” star Jameela Jamil tweeted the following: Text reads: “I had an abortion when I was young, and it was the best decision I have ever made.

April 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

A common route of discussion about abortion, at least in the online world, goes something like this: Person “A” will talk about all the unwanted children in the world. Person “B” will point out that there are millions of people who want to adopt. “A” will then talk about all the children in foster care, […]

Choosing Adoption Over Abortion

January 4, 2019/0 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

Picture this: a young, teenage girl becomes unexpectedly pregnant. She has no money, is still in high school, and only works part time at the local fast food chain. Her friends tell her to get an abortion. After all, it’s only a clump of cells, right? But this girl has questions. Sure, she doesn’t feel […]

Foster kids need help. Pro-lifers can provide it.

January 5, 2018/0 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

When discussing abortion, certain issues tend to come up. Two of the most common? Adoption and foster care. I’m often told abortion spares children from “the system.” People who say that usually overlook some things. The first is that if foster kids really are better off dead, then why stop at killing them prior to […]

Not Your Grandmother’s Adoption: Modern Adoption and How the Pro-Life Community Keeps Up

September 27, 2017/0 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

Portrait of the author, Kelsey Vander Vliet For the pro-life community, it often seems as though we are chasing after the changes in adoption, but never quite catching up to speed. We get caught up in tedious rhetoric that delays true education and action on the subject. Is adoption the alternative to parenting, or is […]

Adoptees speak out

December 1, 2015/0 Comments/in Adoption and Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard
