It wasn't an either or situation for me. Abortion was never an option for me because that would go against what I believed about God and life. I chose adoption rather than parenting myself because at the time there were like several couples in the church who wanted a baby but had tried and it hadn't happened for them. I guess I was like a long awaited answer to prayer for them, the couple that I chose. At least that's what the adopting mother told me. But what I resent more than anything is her relaying the idea that God had planned for me to come to their church because "God knew we wanted a baby." It just made me mad that she thought the only reason God sent me to their church was to give them a baby. Absurd! Totaly unfeeling and absurd! I don't think I want to know a God who had such a plan as that for me-the only reason for my existance as a woman was to give other women *my* children.
