There are a few things you might want to know about infertility, the causes of infertility and the effects of infertility on couples - as well as the long term effects of adoption on mothers and their adopted-out children. (If the truth be told, adoption affects kept children, future spouses and future generations as well.)
Many people in United States are experiencing infertility - as the result of factors like environmental toxins, obesity, STDs, use of drugs and medications, drinking, smoking and delaying pregnancy to focus on their own wealth and success. For males, even holding a laptop in the lap leads to an increase in body temperature which may result in infertility.
See this webpage on "Prevention of Infant/Child Abduction" in hospitals.
As a result of infertility, hospitals must carefully watch visitors to maternity wards and areas where there are small children. Hospitals have even profiled the typical infant/child abductor.
According to the profile, the "typical" abductor may be overweight, has planned the abduction (although the target is opportunistic), may have low self-esteem, a history of manipulative behavior, history of miscarriage or infertility, married or co-habitating - often in a troubled relationship, may be attempting to 'save' the relationship, usually targets infant/child of the same race, usually acts alone but may have a partner to create a distraction to lure staff away from the target.
Many people who have had experience with adoption will recognize this profile. Adoptees and reunited natural moms all talk of how the child was used to patch a relationship or as the pretend "real offspring" of the adopter. There is a big difference between providing for true orphans and the DEMAND that is being made today for babies for adoption. No one owes their child or grandchild to anyone.
As many people have discovered to their horror, even "ethical" adoption agencies cannot provide any guarantee about the people adopting or the outcome for your child or grandchild.
Whatever problems you believe you have, the people adopting will not be perfect either.

Note: the terms "Dear Birthmother" "birthmother", "birthmom", "birthparent", "birthmothers", "birthparents" "birthfather", are used ONLY for search engine placement. No mother - or father - is a "birth object" meant to be used as the source of a baby for adoption.
