I was influenced remarkably by this story of a single mother desperatley struggling to provide for her child. When her world was turned upside down by an unbenonced preganacy, she turned to a christian adoption agency. She was dismissed and denied access to the agency for private reasons.

I was upset apon hearing this story. The adoption agency would not care for the child. This is wrong. Adoption agencies need to change their motives. They need to look into their hearts and realize that this single mother has run out of options. She has no place to turn for the security and support needed to raise a child. Adoption centers cannot turn away desperate people, instead welcome them.
