Why adoption won't fill the gaps of a Roe-less America

3. Oh wow, this is very interesting

My wife always spoke about how giving up a baby after birth would mean you never know what is happening to your own flesh and blood. Having this fear over your head that someone is hurting your baby and never knowing the child is safe. This writer really articulates that feeling.

"I was speaking to these women decades later, and they were still so raw from that loss. It had come to define their life. Everyone I spoke to felt at least coerced, like they were not given a real chance to make a decision to parent. They said all kinds of things, like they would have PTSD reactions if they heard children crying, or that some of them never stopped thinking about where their child was and if they were okay.

Some of the mothers I spoke to who had this experience talked about this as a form of ambiguous loss. That’s a term they often use for families of someone who has gone missing. In some ways, that can be harder to deal with than if somebody has died because you are living constantly in this state of uncertainty."

This is why adoption are frequently coerced. And Christians are really good at subtle coercion, plus they make tons of money if these adoptions.
