Adoption Myths Debunked

Infertility Crisis

Promoting adoption as a "solution" to the nation's growing infertility crisis has a far-reaching impact. It means less support for mothers (which in turn leads to increased abortions), a perception that males need not take responsibility for their children, and a painful situation for mothers, fathers and other relatives who have lost children to adoption and for adopted-out children.

Infertility can be very painful as well and much infertility could be prevented by healthy living and by education promoting adult reproduction before fertility diminishes.

Even when infertility is not preventable, no one owes their child, sperm, eggs or embryos to anyone.

No human being deserves to be turned into an orphan for the purpose of being used as an infertility cure. Being an orphan and cut off from family is not a good thing. Whether "orphans" for infertiles are created artificially through sperm or egg "donation" or embryo adoption or they are created by encouraging mothers to legally abandon their infants or by denying father's rights, it is morally wrong.

Society pays for infertility and even the creation of orphans artificially. This is because insurance covers more and more infertility diagnosis and treatment for those who have waited too long to reproduce. The only real winners are the providers of the services.

For older moms, there are risks for them and for their babies. Miscarriage, placenta previa, fetal distress, prolonged labor, low birthweight baby, preterm baby, cesarean delivery, down syndrome, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease.

The infertiltiy crisis is not good. If you can still reproduce, learn how to avoid infertiltiy.
