That's why I vote for sterilization of stupid people.

I have often wondered why 8 of us came through the birth mom we did. She was not an effective parent for any of us. I have thought a lot about the fact that we come here to get bodies. Sexual sin does produce children. If heavenly father only sent children to those willing to love and raise them, then sexual sin would have no consequences. So I think we just do the best we can. If at all possible even if they abandon the baby, the state tries to work with the parent. I think there was a reason that I received my body through my birth mom. Not sure what it is, but that is what feels right to me. It is sad though that so much in tax dollars to to take care of these kinds of problems. And it is a lot of money. I think in the preexistance that i loved my bio mom and heavenly father had a pretty good idea of what would happen here. But I did get my body and wasn't aborted.

Wow...thanks for sharing your experiences and feelings. I think you make an excellent point about sexual sin and its consequences.
One of my lifelong best friends (I've known her since I was 7) is adopted. She was born to a 16-year-old LDS girl who hoped to straighten her life out. She was adopted into a loving LDS family. I never asked her until about two years ago if she was interested in finding her birth mother at all. She told me that she really wasn't. She didn't see any reason to. She knew who her family was, she loved them, they loved her, she never felt unwanted, and she had been sealed to her adoptive family. That was the important part for her.
