We asked our followers what they wish people understood about adoption and foster care and got some insightful answers: On differences between adoption and foster care: Honestly, just getting across the fact that they aren’t the same thing would be a step in the right direction. – Michael B.

[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.

Misconceptions of foster care in discussions about abortion

April 3, 2019/0 Comments/in Adoption & 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 & 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 & 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 & 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 […]

Adoption is Not About “Giving Up”

August 15, 2017/0 Comments/in Adoption & Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post by Sarah Chia is part of our paid blogging program.] Recently, Secular Pro-Life shared a throwback post about the stigma of adoption. They (rightly) pointed out that the stigma is going away for teens, but is still rampant for women over 21, which is the highest demographic for abortion. In the comments, […]

To My Daughter’s First Parents

June 1, 2016/0 Comments/in Adoption & Foster Care, Uncategorized, Your Stories /by Guest Blogger

[Today’s guest post by Crystal Kupper.] I’ve never met you. I don’t speak your language. We were born on opposite sides of the world, and in some ways on completely different planets. You’re both much older than me and my husband, both in years, and, I’m guessing, hard knocks.  But we share one big thing […]

Adoptees speak out

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

There’s a tendency in pro-life circles to romanticize adoption. The reasons for that are understandable. For many people, adoption is the best available alternative to abortion, but choosing adoption remains clouded by myths and outdated fears from the old days when girls went to “visit extended family” for nine months and adoption was considered a […]

The roots of adoption stigma

August 10, 2015/0 Comments/in Adoption & Foster Care, Uncategorized /by Kelsey Hazzard

Above: the socially acceptable face of adoption Adoption is a loving option. Many people wait years before they can adopt a baby. Adoption is the greatest gift you could give to a waiting family. Adoption is noble, courageous, beautiful. It seems to me that American society accepts these messages… but only when the biological mother […]
