Adoption+Juno+opinion?

My friend and I both saw Juno and afterwards we were discussing the movie. She didn't like the ending, because she thought the baby should know it's real parents. We then got into a disscussion on a adoption. She said that no matter what the baby should stay with the birth parents unless they are dead. I argued that even if the mother was a druggo should she still keep the baby? Her answer was yes, and that the druggo mother should lay off the drugs. Basically I just said, "what if she doesn't?" and my frien replied "well if she doesn't after the kid is born, chances are that she didn't do so in the pregnany and then the baby had a high chance of not even being born due to complications". I replied with "If the baby is born it will be very sick, do you think the druggo is going to get the madical help for the baby?" She just said that she should be given a chance to and if she doesn't then the baby should be taken away from her. (continued next post)

So what is your stance on the issue of adoption? I believe that if the parents can not take care of the baby then adoption is a wise decision. It gives their baby a chance at a good life, and the adoptive parents become the real parents anyway. They may not be blood related, but they love the kid like they are. She thinks adoption should only happen when the parents are dead or if social services whatever has to take the baby away for its own safety. What do you think?

Juno was going to abort her baby at first, so if it weren't for adoption the baby wouldn't even have been born. I think adoption is a wonderful thing. It gives couples who can't conceive themselves a chance to be wonderful parents, and it gives the kids a chance to have wonderful loving parents. If the birth parents don't want the child then I can't see how it would be beneficial for anyone to make the child stay with them

Edit: Why am I getting so many thumbs down? Perhaps someone could answer to say why? It's just that I didn't realize I was being offensive or even controversial and if I was I'd like to know.

I think it's just a movie

But, back in the real world, I think every child deserves to know his/her origins, always. That adoption should be a last resort

i think that yes, the baby should know its origins, and who its brth parents are.I also think that if the parent is a druggie or is not capable of being a parent, the kid should be adopted by someone who can take care of it well. If the kid wants to meet thier parents, they should be allowed to.

When it's discovered the AP's are drug addicts or abusive, then what? It's out there, and it's real. People lie. Just because someone is an AP or PAP doesn't mean anything, except that they have alot of money and they are good at filling out resumes.

Juno wasn't on drugs.

I am adopted and sooo glad I was.... my biomom wasn't a druggie or anything like that, had her college degree, but was just starting out in her career. I have a wonderful adoptive family and I wouldn't give them up for the world.

Basically Adoptions a tricky thing. Juno, was able to raise her baby, even though she was a teenager. (never seen the movie)
Granted once a mother has a baby, she should realize that babies needs comes before her own and do what is best for that baby, but lets face it that doesn't always happen.
Juno (I believe from comercals) had a adoption where she picked the parents, great, that's the best thing a mother can do to insure the baby is taken care of.
Adoption blind is a bad thing. Know the parents your giving your baby too. Cause they might be crazy and abusive
Personally a mother should try and take care of there baby first, but if not then look into adoption but do it 100% finding the prefect family.

The creator of the movie did not intend for it to be a political statement on either side. It was just a movie (a good one at that)

To discuss the different views on adoption, well, there are over 100 previous posts that are on this subject, and everyone has differening opinions, based on their world view, their experience etc.
