Privateer you make a good point. Let me revise, solid stable partnerships of 2 people are required for children, be they gay, married or whatever. Family of whatever kind is crucial for a child, and I am sorry but a young disadvantaged female raising children on her own severely impedes the chances of those children leading happy lives.

Boo-f'in hoo people judged you for getting knocked up. Happens everywhere.

This is actually a very heartwarming story. Unwed mothers who don't want their babies, giving them up for adoption. This is an awesome story. Give up your baby if you don't want it, otherwise it's going to either end up being a rapist, prostitute, murderer, thief, or any other general thorn in society because you neglect it and/or abuse it. The baby will be much happier and better off in life if he's adopted by a couple who actually wants children.

It does suck for the women because they have to deal with this on their own, but it's MUCH MUCH better for society and the babies. So I guess we have to see where we can equalize it a bit for the women. But so far, babies and society better off.

Western society needs to promote adoption more. Yeah I'm all for supporting single women who have been abandoned by their dumbass boyfriends who knocked them up. But don't encourage it. Support them by telling them to put up their kid for adoption. Just "loving" your kid doesn't give him a happy life.

Korea's got it half right. Don't drag her to the abortion clinic, tell her to send that kid for adoption.

Things are never as simple as it seems. Korea's birthrate is dropping. One reason (not the only reason) is because women are getting to the point they would rather be childless than be married. I've meet many Korean women from the age of 25~30ish who don't plan on marrying. Some plan on eventually having or adopting children.

I think people need to focus more on protecting the children that are around. For all the people saying how great Korea's two parent families are and how crappy single parent families are, can you explain why Korea has one of the highest child rape rates in the world (9 times higher than Germany) and has the highest suicide rate of the developed countries.

I hate to tell people, it doesn't matter if you have one parent, two parents, gay parents, etc. All that matters is that the people around you are looking out for you and protecting you. You have had too many women afraid to be divorced look the other way and go into deep denial when things were happening to their daughters.

A horrible parent is a horrible parent. Don't get me wrong, I am pro-choice, and I have met some people who I really believe should have had abortions. But I've met MARRIED COUPLES who should have had abortions too. Come on, there's a reason we say slutty girls have "daddy issues."

I am a single mother, and my son is completely well adjusted. He has lots of friends, he gets along great with other kids, he is everybody's friend. He is healthy and happy. He is actually better than most kids from two-parents households I have seen.

Now, just because my son is great, I am not saying single mothers are the way to go either. I am saying GOOD PARENTS ARE GOOD PARENTS, AND BAD PARENTS ARE BAD PARENTS.







Slightly unrelated, but an interesting side note. A study has revealed that children of lesbian couples generally do better in life than other kids. Better socially, better in school, and less likely to get in trouble. Maybe there is a difference?

"Only about a quarter of South Koreans are willing to have a close relationship with an unwed mother as a coworker or neighbor, according to a recent survey by the government-financed Korean Women�s Development Institute."

That's pretty f*cked up. One of the things I love about Korea is that there's more openness about sex than in the U.S. (at least the fact that it happens premaritally). With that in mind, it seems pretty silly that women are ostracized for having functional organs.
