OT but relatedOMG I so agree....I know I have done so much thinking about unwanted pregnancies and adoption alternatives than ever!
I am an adopted child. I am extremely grateful for the family I have. My husband and I just built my parents a house around the corner from us, and I look into the eyes of the three beautiful boys I have. Not a day goes by that I don't thank my birth mother in my prayers. She gave me something far greater when she gave me up.
I watch this case, and I think: What if I had been born into this family? I believe Caylee never really had a chance, and that breaks my heart. It is my firm opinion that our society has glamorized this idea of teen moms keeping their babies, sometimes to the detriment of the children. I would simply say that ADOPTION IS SUCH A SPECIAL OPTION and I wish that Caylee had been given the chance to bless another family's life.
ETA: I know many single mons and teen moms do a wonderful job, so there is no disrespect meant to them.
