An open letter to the new Pope, Pope Benedict XVI.
Dear Pope Benedict:
I do not have your address and cannot write to you personally. I wish I could write to you - where adoption and embryo adoption are concerned.
If there is an orphan who has no one then it may help her if someone takes her in and raises her with the same love they would give her if she was their own child.
But in United States people are ignoring real orphans and at the same time they are turning out infant orphans on purpose just to supply the adoption market. People who are infertile or gay DEMAND babies - and when there are no real orphans to be found they are creating them. Not only do these adults get THEIR desires fulfilled, but the businesses supplying babies and the raw materials to make them are doing quite well financially, too. Consequently, there is a great deal of lobbying to get more orphans.
But creating orphans on purpose - removing a child's own parents, grandparents and siblings - just so some person who is infertile or gay can have a baby - is morally WRONG. The Church promotes adoption, saying it is better than abortion. But how much better is it if a child can stay in her own family? There is no longer any persecution of "bastards" in the United States today. The effects of separation on moms and babies are known. Following is a summary of the known consequences of separating mothers and babies:

Open Adoption the Wall
People who adopt may divorce. People who are single are free to adopt. There is no good reason to tear family members apart just because a mother is single when her baby is born - Mary the mother of Jesus was also single, young and less affluent.
