Not all single women have children just to receive a welfare check every month. Do you think it is fun to live like that? There are many women who work full time jobs, and have to have government assistance to survive. You should not have to give up your child because you are financially unstable. By the time I was 19, I had three children. I worked two full time jobs, but still couldn't make it. I had food stamps, and lowered rent, but I deserved my children just as much as a woman who was married and financially stable. And for the women who don't work, many times you can't win for losing. If you work, you do not earn enough to to raise a family, and if you apply for benefits, you don't receive enough assistance to even help make a difference. By the time you add child care for when you do go to work, you still have nothing. If you quit your job, you are then eligible for more assistance, and you can live better than if you were working. It is no way to live, but you do what you have to do to survive. Now for those women who don't even try to better themselves or the lives for their children, is unexceptable. But they should not have to adopt out their children. Until you have had to live in the system and raise children, you should not judge whether they deserve to have and keep their children. You could one day have to depend on food stamps, welfare, and lowered rent to raise your kids, because you aren't guaranteed a stable life. Would it be fair to say that a mother who is disabled should have to adopt out their child? No! It is a struggle depending on the government to raise your family, but it doesn't make you any less deserving of a family, a bad mom, or any less of a person. If anything needs to change, it is the way the system works. Better assistance should be available for those mothers who are working, that way they can get on their feet, become stable, and come out of the system and poverty. For the mothers who did not want to work, they would have to become employed in order to best utilize their resources, and would see that working is more beneificial than welfare. The welfare system makes it impossible to get back on your feet when you have hit rock bottom. As far as teenage pregnancy, yes, it is irresponsible. We have all made decisions as teens that were not responsible, but we are only human. Who are we to judge one another anyway? I do believe that we all have our flaws!!! Well, kids and single women are having babies and living off of the system. � They get money to raise the baby, money off of rent, food stamps, and other things they may be eligible for.� It is a shame.� I think those people should be forced to give their babies up for adoption or after having a couple they should.� So many of these women have 4,5 or more kids.� I know a woman from back home that has 7 and doesn't work because she gets so much help.
