Not one of them anti-adoption I noticed! They don't take into consideration the problems that bring about the "need" for abortion, they only want to shout murder and other such dramatic words. If you really care about saving children then make the world an easier place for mothers so that when we are pregnant it's not a crisis. How about making laws stronger to "encourage" the fathers to be financially responsible. Free and good childcare in colleges, schools and workplaces. Free health insurance like they have in some countries. p.s. great post Dawn!! Special shops with affordable toys, books and clothes where you can give them back if they are still in good condition to be used by the next family. A special sponsorship program with older mothers adopting younger/newer/vulnerable mothers, helping with advice, support and time. Getting the media to drum up a positive image of single mothers. All this is where their energy could be going, if you really want to stop abortions peoples then start by supporting mothers. Zealous flamers!! Not one of them anti-adoption I noticed!

I did type out a long comment over there, so if you ever, in the distant future, do read the comments, it's not ENTIRELY insults. I so appreciate your ability and willingness to see the shades of gray in life, and also your ability to empathize with, it seems, just about everyone. Thank you. Nicole Dawn,

You have more willpower than me to not read those hateful and judgemental comments!! I don't think that anyone that knows Madison and your family could imagine life any other way! I think it was fate, but also glad it was a decision that was made out of choices. Your pro-life friend!! By the way, my husband took you off the wall of shame, I mean the fridge. Thanks!! And good thoughts to you and your Dad. Great piece! You have more willpower than me to not read those hateful and judgemental comments!!
