38. Dealing With Worldliness Alternative Abortion http://www.abort73.com/abortion/abortion_alternatives “Between 1989 and 1995, 1.7 percent of children born to never-married white women were placed for adoption, compared to 19.3 percent before 1973." In 1970 there were 89,200 new adoptive parents. In 1975, the last year for which such data is available, that number was cut almost in half to 47,700. The reason for the decline was due to the fact that "fewer U.S.-born white infants were available for adoption."
