Adoption

A big controversial issue has spread ever since adoption became an answer. Adoption is the next best thing as being a mother yourself. Adoption in the book Unwind is called storking. Storking is the legal way of abandoning your baby. In the book there is a scene where Connor has a moment as he hears a storked baby cry. "But . . . but . . ." Connor couldn't fathom the thought that he too was that fat kid saying "Mom! We've been storked again!". He felt he had to pay debt to this unknown baby because his family had also storked a baby and this baby eventually ended up dying. Adoption now in the present day has become a way out of what most say a mistake. It gives these innocent unknowing babies a chance at life. Storking a baby in the book Unwind gives people a chance to give up their baby at someones doorstep and getting away with it legally. It gives the mothers a second chance to start over. It lets them get rid of a burden that they know one day would lead to the baby being an unwound. The catch is that if they catch you storking your baby you have no choice but to keep the baby and wish for better luck at the next house you see eligible for this baby. 

According to Chicago Tribune adoption has become quite the "thing". It doesn't take much to make your decision about putting your baby up for adoption. Adoption in my opinion is very blessed and a positive thing. Think about it if you didn't plan your baby you can offer him/her a better life with someone who may not be able to have children or someone who prefers adoption. Either way you think about it you're making a right choice.
