What happens if they never find a 'good' home? The foster care system is evidence enough that finding children good homes isn't exactly easy.
If they go the adoption route I think they should be made to pay for the child's care, including into adulthood as many people with mental disabilities require.
On second thought, fuck them. To simultaneously hold the position that every life is sacred and carry to term only to try and adopt, not because they don't have the means but because it would be too emotionally distressing, is some deep sanctimonious bullshit. If this is the fortitude of this couple I can only hope the child finds a loving family. As for these two, I dread the thought of them ever having a child. The reason given for their decision to adopt will rear its head in any number of parenting situations where future children will suffer. Selfishness is not a good basis for parenting.
I think this couple should have their genitals removed and placed in jars on their kitchen table as a daily reminder of how fucked up they are. Will also ensure they aren't given another opportunity to fuck up another child's life.
Wow, that's a little harsh. As I said above, I would actually think it would be big of them to go through the sacrifice of pregnancy and childbirth (without a baby to look forward to) for the sake of giving their son/daughter the best life possible.
To each their own though.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
