Jane,

Thank you so much reading and taking the time to write such an honest and heartfelt reply. It is so important stories like yours be heard.

It is no surprise adoption rates are low in Germany, they are in all countries with strong social safety nets. The socio-economics of American adoption is its own lengthy essay. Suffice it to say, America doesn’t really have a “pro-life” movement, we have a “pro-birth” movement.

Again, thank you for your response, and best wishes to you and your son.
