These are the options?

It's no secret what my stance on women's reproductive issues are. Again, I am flabbergasted by the BS that is shoveled out by the pro-life movement. Here is another rebuttal about one of their "alternatives" to abortion. Adoption. "Oh dear, you need to love your child so much you are willing to give it life then give it up for adoption into a loving home". Ah yes, a loving home, with a dog, a cat and rich, white parents with the matching white picket fence. However, to get there dear children you'll hang out in the system for a while. The adoption process takes YEARS and MONEY - and lots of it; think $30 000 of it. And, if you happen to be less than the adorable, wide eyed, cherub cheeked child, well, you'll be on the shelf a lot longer sweet one. The adoption agencies are impenetrable walls. I myself have looked into adoption. I meet the requirements. No problem right? Wrong. I DON'T have to $5000 up front cost to OPEN a file. Oh yes just to OPEN a file. Shit and I do that for free daily! Then we have visits, more cash, and a long waiting period. If the agency doesn't think a particular child I have chosen to be a "fit" they turn me down. The autistic child for example or the diabetic child; I'll need a degree in ECC and an RN certification to get one of them. This is just the domestic adoption agency. The foreign one is much more complicated. You will need to attend classes where they teach you how to make sure your child stays connected to their heritage and doesn't turn around and say that you were a shitty parent because you treated them like a Canadian child with no roots - God forbid!! Well if you can wade through that swamp and actually get assigned (literal - you don't choose) a child, you must then go to the country where they live and spend two weeks there with them; great idea, makes sense; but wait, you're not done cousin! If your child is deemed medically unfit to be let into Canada, you put the child down, walk away, board your plane and start again - FROM THE BEGINNING - which means, all together now, MORE MONEY! So the child whose mother so selflessly and lovingly gave her up to the system, may very well languish there amid other children whose fate is similar or bounce from foster home to foster home until they are either adopted or become of age. I think we need a better Plan B.
