Adoption vs. Abortion
When faced with the obstacle of becoming pregnant with an unwanted child, many women face a choice. This choice is whether they should choose putting their child up for adoption, or get an abortion. If the woman were to choose adoption, she would be giving her child the opportunity to find a loving home, with people who either can't have children of their own, or just wish to extend their family and help children who do not yet have one. If the woman chooses adoption, she gives her child a chance.
Many, though, choose the alternative. Believing that no one would want a child conceived through rape, or that orphanages are too crowded and bring more harm than good, they decide to just abort the child. A woman may believe that abortion is a process, just a "quick fix" to their problem; however, abortion harms not only the baby, but also the mother. When a woman chooses abortion, she not only takes away the child God gave her - she also takes away the chance at life that God gave that child.
Adoption should be the solution to unintended or unwanted pregnancies; but sadly, abortion seems to be chosen more often than adoption.
