Are Adoption And Abortion The Same?

They are the same in some ways but VERY different in what is, perhaps, the most important way.

Firstly, the similarities include:

1. They are both very personal decisions.
2. Both are legal and readily available, in most places.
3. The birth parents do not have the responsibility for raising the child.
4. Neither changes the fact that the expectant mother conceived a child and is pregnant.
5. Both are unforgettable experiences.
6. They cannot be “undone.”
7. No matter what decision you make — some people agree with your decision and others will criticize you.

Next, the differences:

1. Adoption requires the birth mother to carry the baby for nine months and then leave the hospital without the baby, while an abortion immediately ends the pregnancy.
2. Few people understand how a woman can “give away her baby” through adoption, yet at the same time, nearly ½ of the people living in the United States STRONGLY believe that abortion is “okay.”
3. Abortion does not give the child an opportunity to live life nor fulfill his or her destiny.
4. Adoption demonstrates a birth mother’s (parent’s) sacrificial love for her/their child by putting the child’s life ahead of her/their own needs, wants, and desires.
5. In adoption, the child lives.

The “Kirsh Boys,” as the adoption attorneys at Kirsh & Kirsh, P.C., are sometimes called – Steve, and his brothers, Joel and Rob, and his son, Grant – pride themselves on answering questions about adoption and explaining the process without pressure or judgment. They cannot make adoption an easy choice, but they can make it less scary by removing some of the unknowns. Ultimately, a birth parent will have to decide if adoption is in their own best interests and the best interests of their child. We, at Kirsh & Kirsh, will not and cannot make that decision for anyone, but we can provide information and answers to questions.

POSITIVE ADOPTION LANGUAGE DISCLAIMER:  Please understand that these blog posts are written in a way to use language that people use when searching for help with their adoption plans.  Unfortunately, while all of us understand what positive adoption language means, most expectant moms that come to us at first do not understand what that means. The most common search term on the Internet for expectant moms is “how do I give up my baby for adoption”.  If we do not include those words in our blog posts, and instead put “how do I create an adoption plan for my baby” then our website will not show up in most expectant mom’s search results in Google.
