I haven't read the linked article, but having been on this board for nearly two years now, I've seen a number of articles showing the extreme bad side of IA.
I do not deny that the extreme bad side exists. However, my concern is that it may be overgeneralized. And this does a lot more harm than good.
The more upsetting a story is, the more important it is to present it in a balanced way.
As far as any theory that suggests relinquishments by poor women are less valid than those by women of means, I find that insulting to everyone in the adoption triad of every adoption. Especially to poor birth mothers, who, by that logic, have no right to choose this avenue for any reason; because they are poor, both they and their children must become still more poor.
