Hi... I need to send a reply email to a certain person and was wondering if they would turn their emails back on for me please? No hate mail I promise :)

This is something I have wondered for a while.

I am talking about international and infant adoption and adoptions where it isn't really necessary... so not including foster-adopt or abused children etc.

How can a person, once they have researched and seen the fact that in their actions they are inflicting pain, continue with their desire to adopt? I get wanting a family... I understand that... but I do not understand how there are people out there who chose to proceed adopting a child/baby when it is obvious the mother is being pressured and all they need is a little support in order to raise their own baby. How is this right in their minds? I have come across this several times now and received emails where this has happened and I am curious as to how a person can knowingly inflict pain on another?

This is a serious question incidentally...

After reading many answers on Y!A lately, I have seen many people suggest adoption as an alternative to abortion and I wondered why is abortion and adoption so often pitted against each other? Why do people even bring adoption into the picture when discussing adoption as they are so entirely different? Is it because of the pro-lifers campaigning? Religion? What is behind this push? Serious answers only please. Thank you.
