National Association of Pro Life nurses ~ Shout out your adoption campaign is here
Adoption, the loving option
NAPN is kicking off our “Shout Out Your Adoption” campaign in response to the pro-abortion Shout Out Your Abortion promotion.
Adoption is a wonderful act of love and one of the best alternatives to abortion. We are featuring the benefits of adoption and those who have been adopted and made significant contributions to society and the well-known people who have adopted.
The Lifespan organization of southeast Michigan has graciously supplied NAPN with adoption information and resources we can use in our campaign. A quote from their resource manual about adoption which we found particularly meaningful: “To give birth to your child is to take a longer time to realize that children are not an extension of you! To adopt your child is the quicker route to get to the same conclusion. Each child, whether by birth or adoption, is TRULY a gift from God. If you are led to adopt a child, whether through circumstances or desire, what a miracle it is to find each other, even if it may be halfway around the world. The path that is laid before us in giving birth to a child or adopting a child is not important in comparison to the end result. To hold your child, to look upon your child’s face and feel your heart burst from the love you feel for this little person, is to catch a glimpse of the love God has for every one of us. Adoption is concrete testimony of true love, trust, hope and faith by the birth parents and by the adoptive parents.”
NAPN would like to hear from you! If you were adopted, adopted a child or have a sibling or grandchild that is adopted, drop us a line. We want to champion adoption as the best alternative to abortion.

Adoption Benefits Adoptive Parents, Birth Families & Children
“My motivation is really just seeing the joy, the tears, the happiness at the adoption finalization hearings, and letting the biological parents know that what they’re doing is the most selfless act an individual can ever possibly do,” [Adoption Attorney] Ken Nelson says, “What they’re doing is probably going to help their lives, and it’s going to completely change for the better the lives of the adoptive parents.”
Adoption is a life-changing experience that can have an incredible impact on everyone involved in the process. Not only can it benefit the adoptive parents, who have often tried for years to add to their families, but also the birth parents and, most importantly, the adopted child.

For many birth mothers, choosing adoption is one of the most difficult decisions of a lifetime — but it can also provide countless benefits. For expectant mothers, adoption:
· allows them to continue pursuing their goals without putting their education or career on hold.
· relieves the financial and emotional stress of unplanned pregnancy and single parenting, and allows them to receive help with living expenses during their pregnancy.
· provides peace of mind that their child will be raised by pre-screened adoptive parents who can provide a safe, stable, loving and nurturing home.
· is an opportunity to help hopeful parents who would not be able to have a child otherwise.
· gives them access to important services and resources, including professional counseling and support services, at no cost.
· offers opportunities to stay in touch with the child through open or semi-open adoption.
· If you are pregnant and considering adoption for your baby, you will have the opportunity to design an adoption plan that works for you — one that allows you to continue to pursuing your goals while remaining a part of your child’s life.

Do adopted children grow up to be happy, healthy and successful? How do adoptees feel about adoption? Will my child resent his or her adoption story? These are common concerns for expectant mothers and adoptive families alike.
Whether you are considering adoption as an expectant mother or hopeful parent, know that adopted children:
· are placed with families who have planned, prepared and longed for a child; these parents have completed the home study process to ensure they are ready to provide a stable, loving home.
· often grow up with opportunities they may not have had otherwise, such as the chance to attend college.
· are raised knowing they are loved not only by their adoptive families, but also by the birth parents who selflessly placed them for adoption to provide them with a better life.
· are reported to have better health, more one-on-one attention from their parents, and improved school performance compared to children in adoptive families as well as their birth parents the general population. More than 90 percent of adopted children have positive feelings about their adoption; these children are raised to understand that adoption is something special and that they are loved by their new families.
