Shotgun adoption

This article is critical of adoption agencies and pregnancy care centers. While we can't be certain the circumstances related in it are accurate, it does serve as a warning. The Nation

Editor: Centers associated with Partners in Ministry/Baptists for Life adhere to standards of operation that say, concerning adoption:

"Adoption is recognized as one viable alternative to abortion. Agencies which provide assistance in placing children for adoption are to be commended and Partners in Ministry and its associates will work cooperatively with such agencies whenever possible. However, the PCC is not biased in favor of, or in opposition to, adoption. The PCC will remain independent of adoption agencies, relating to them in the same manner as to other referral agencies. The PCC will receive no payment from adoption agencies, will not enter into contractual relationships with them, nor be established under the auspices of such agencies."

It's also important to note that the author is critical of large, Christian families, such as the one written about here: Family Attacked for Too Many Children: "Thrilled" about Baby 19.
