Rather than simply wanting to avoid heartache and pain, I would assume this hypothetical couple is just set on having "a good one". And perhaps have a religious objection to terminating a pregnancy that would result in what would clearly be an unwanted child (by the birth couple).
It's silly to assume that someone who chooses to find adoptive parents for their unborn child is simply doing it because they want to avoid going to Hell by getting an abortion.
Sure, it'd be silly to assume that about anyone.
I'm not to referring to just anyone, though. I'm referring to this particular hypothetical couple. The one who has the means to take care of a child, but has determined that a system of of "getting rid" of the undesirable ones via adoption, and keeping that "good ones" somehow puts them on moral high ground.
I don't think it does.
