Count how many families are waiting to adopt, but there aren’t enough children available to adopt. Yes, there are children languishing in foster homes, but that is because state foster care systems suck (I know – I was an attorney fighting that system for a very long time). So while the states are screwing up the kids in foster care, families are still waiting to adopt. It all works much better when a woman who doesn’t want a child can be matched with a family who does want a child. And there are many resources available to help that pregnant woman during the pregnancy. I know – I volunteer with those programs, too.
That’s funny – NOT! My husband and I continued to live our lives during covid exactly as we lived them before covid – except we put on masks when indoors around people to whom we aren’t related. We traveled – the great outdoors is a wonderful place to visit. I don’t understand people who have yet to leave their homes. Either they lack the ability to logically think something through or they have an unreasonably extreme level of fear. Whichever, I pity them.
