i bet none of you have had to give a child up for adoption.. and i havent either.. i have never been pregnant.. and i would keep the child if i became preggo.. however if you are a crack head that gets pregnant please tell me how in the heck you would be able to care for a child? why not go to an agency that INTERVIEWS potential parents and actually goes to the home and observes the lifestyle of the applicants.. yall we are not stuck in 1970's where any bob, joe or nancy can adopt a child.. its a process.. months and months go into seeking the perfect family for each child (in most cases) yea who knows.. something could happen and it not be a good family.. but IMO if i were addicted to any form of drugs.. or what have you and i delievered a child knowing i couldnt care for it i would want it to go to a good home.. where it was almost guarenteed a warm place to sleep and at least 3 meals a day..

i hate knowing there are children stuck in foster homes.. that kills me.. no child should ever have to be put through that.. but if you know damn good and well that you can not provide for that child the best way you can.. then please for the love of god.. give them a chance at a better life..
kelly i didn't post to prove u or anyone else wrong, was just simply stating my beliefs in contrary to urs and others' beliefs, if u took offense, my apologies as none was intended.

as far as what u had to say, sure it makes some sort of sense. but being that u or i aren't crackheads, how do we know what a crackhead WOULD do vs what they should do (which is what u outlined). crackheads have been known to do just about anything to get THEMSELVES a fix. in their mind, feeding the addiction is #1, anything else is just whatever. what makes u think a crackhead would first off, take care of themselves during pregnancy to where they could even give birth to a healthy enough of a child to live, and secondly, go through the trouble of finding help to be able to give up their child for adoption? what u stated just doesn't seem logical as to what a drug addict would do...
