Abortion, Adoption, and Assisted Reproduction
Cindy from Central NC and Her Family
This is not another pro-life or pro-choice argument. The purpose of this entry is to warn a woman who is unable to carry her own baby or a gay couple against obtaining a gestational mother for their child. The reason the word “abortion” is part of the title is that the rate abortion greatly diminishes the availability of children for adoption. In turn, this may influence a person’s decision to seek the service of a gestational mother.
Since the mid 1970s, children relinquished for adoption have declined from nearly 9 percent to under 1 percent of births to never-married women. This decline could result from the legalization of abortion, the social acceptance of single mother, or the financial ability of single mothers to support their children. Regardless of the cause, the availability of children for adoption in American has become “virtually nonexistent.”
