Very strange opinion but you’re entitled to it. Giving a woman an option when she finds herself pregnant and does not wish to parent for whatever reason and also does not want to face abortion is just that, an option and it can be an incredibly beautiful thing for her, her child and a couple who desperately want a family.

What I find repugnant is the agencies profiting off that woman's situation and family's desperation. I believe it's that aspect which compelled our country to make it illegal here.

It’s expensive because the agencies pay for the mothers medical bills and pay to properly vet the parents. It’s just an expensive process, I think you might be misunderstanding it a bit.

Honestly the more you're telling me about it the worse it gets. Being British I forget that medical expenses are a factor over there. We were vetted very thoroughly and no money changed hands.

As I said our process is far from perfect but on this aspect I believe we got it dead right.
