But first, "another person" must be raised by someone: either by the birth mother, who for some reason felt she should not or could not go through with the pregnancy, or by someone else. If by the latter, the infant will likely be placed in some sort of overburdened facility prior to foster care or adoption. The chances of successful foster care and/or adoption depend a great deal on the race, health (and eventually age) of the child. Then, whether the child is placed in a healthy and "functional" family ... well, that's a crap shoot. Tell you what, Bree: once all the children awaiting adoption are placed into safe and loving homes, let's revisit choice and winning and losing. Lori
