What is your read on the statement “Consider adoption, a loving alternative to parenting.”?

grapesgum asked:


I happened across a WEB site for an adoption agency that seemed reasonable until came across this statement on the information page for pregnant women considering adoption:

“Consider adoption, a loving alternative to parenting.”

I have seen adoption advertised as a loving alternative to abortion but I have never seen it advertised as a loving alternative to parenting.

Has anyone else seen this before? What is your take on this? Is parenting a non-loving option?

When I declared to centrelink that my hubby was on workcover (his payments were the same as his wages before going on it) they cut my partnered parenting payment. All they could tell me was that it was different. Anyone else has this experience?

If Adoptive Parents Do a Good Enough Job of Parenting?

Monday, April 14th, 2008
Heather B asked:


Does that mean an adoptee will not search?

I ask this because adoptees who have not felt the need to search keep affirming what a wonderful upbringing they had.

Do people see searching adoptees as people who are dissatisfied with their adoptive families?

(personally I had a great upbringing; but I still search; just trying to understand how people think)
