Your one of thounds and thounds and it's getting worse each year. this is just my opinion and nothing wrong with it and it's ok for anyone to disagree but some of you shoul;d take a good look at the real world and see whats really going on, most are forst by there parent s to either get rid of them or keep them, not by there own choice.

I know maybe anwanted is the wrong word here but, there is alot that are not plained out... ok ill leave this at this

I would have to agree that no baby, child is every unwanted.
But I have heard of people that keep having more and more kids to get more welfare, food stamps, or whatever.
I dont think that is right to have kids for that reason.

i was a teen mom..had my son at 18 and my daughter when i was 19..dylan was unplanned but NEVER unwanted..we loved him since day 1..im not on foodstamp but just cause someone is on foodstamps doesnt mean they had unplanned children..what about the families we're someone lost a job? got hurt? and in my case what about when those kids/wifes etc that has losed a loved one..

Sorry, I didn't mean to

I've seen mothers with several kids, who doesn't take care of them, who sees them just as a money source from the child support they use on themselves and do not use to support the children.

I've seen people women who give birth to a child a year and who have never took care of a single one because each was born already hooked on drugs.

I've seen people who take in foster kids and don't really care for them, but are after the little bit of money they get for 'fostering' the kids.

I've seen people who have killed the foster kids in their care.
I have seen many children who will never have a home or family because most people only really want to adopt babies. Older kids have to many "issues" from the environments in which they lived their early years.

I worked in a jail, and as sad as it is to say it, there are such a thing as unwanted children.

The system to protect them is so overburdened that most people end up burnt out and stop caring.

Maybe if all the people who say there is no such thing as an unwanted child would do more for the disadvantaged, lost, and forgotten ones, then maybe it would one day be true....

I think there are some semantics being employed in this discussion, not on purpose but because the subject is replete with emotion regardless and because it is the nature of words to mean different things to different people. To suggest that there are never children who are born unwanted by the mother who gave birth is a ridiculous argument. Biological parents have absolutely had children that "they" did not want. If you doubt that e-mail me and I'll share with you my own story of having been adopted and the circumstances surrounding my being born. But, I was wanted. I was wanted by the parents who adopted me. They were and are the only parents I've ever known.

So, to some extent, I believe that both arguments here are correct. I don't think children are born unwanted by everyone but that is not the same argument as to suggest that a child cannot be born unwanted by someone.

birth control is free in the uk

WOW. It seems that we want all the freedom to have as much sex as we can, but not have to bother with any of that icky stuff called responsability.

Yeah , beats paying for food stamps and medical for 18 years per child.

both my parents openly admit i was unplanned and unwanted. They debated about getting an abortion but my mom pulled out at the last minute cause she thought it would hurt too much.

Try spending your whole life having that on your mind.

There should be no such thing, but sadly there is, & denying it won't change it.

why? i know lots of girls who get pregnant for just wanting more food stamps and assistance. not saying its all but there are an alarming amount.

She didn't say that all children of families on assistance are unwanted.

Read her first post, then again maybe youre right I was having a horrible day yesterday so if i was a ***** sorry

That's a terrible thing to tell a child.

An emotional topic. It's very easy to to read more than is there.

I agree . Even if it was a thought it should have never been said to you..Im sorry

im sorry allen

I agree!
