I have two children, both adopted, and both "unwanted" except by
their birthmothers, or at least they both ignored strong family pressure
to have abortions. Both birth mothers had serious problems, one drugs
and the other mental illness. Both my children are at risk of
complications in their life because of it. My wife and I had to choose,
with as full a knowledge as possible, to parent these two.
I am deeply saddened when healthy parents choose to abort healthy
children because it is financially difficult. Our family is in
financial difficulties because of the choice we made to have children,
but our finances will get better and we have two wonderful children who
will be with us for the rest of our lives. Some say we "bought" our
children, and if so it was the best purchase we ever made and every day I
am grateful to the two mothers who made a choice that let two wonderful
kids live.
