Although the choice of putting a child for adoption can be a solution, the guarantee for every child to be adopted is inconceivable.

The amount of time these children stay in foster care; 18 percent will stay less than a month, 32 percent will be in care for 1 to 11 months, 20 percent is 12 to 23 months, 11 percent is 24 to 35 months, 10 percent is 36 to 59 months, and 9 percent is up to 5 years or more. It is clear that adoption can be a solution, but the child may suffer emotionally during the process. Some emotional appeals to having an abortion for example, would be the negative impact that it would have on a mother’s life. Some pregnancies often happen at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
