What is Operation Rescue? Do they actually adopt the babies?

Wish it were so, but babies have no problem being adopted anyway.

Operation Rescue are the militant anti abortionists. They've toned it down some what. Mostly because of new laws. They used to block entrances to abortion clinics, chain themselves to the doors, get in the face of everyone entering the clinic. Find out where the doctors live, go to their homes and protest there, put the doctors faces on posters with murderer written over the face. Horrible signs with aborted fetuses. "You're going to hell for aborting your baby" folks. Some of the true extremists (the ones that blow up abortion clinics) start out in Operation Rescue.

I should state most Operation Rescue offices have staff to counsel mothers in need and have relationships with organizations that help with adoption, or with the cost of having the baby. I forget the name of the organization where I lived, but there was a home for young single mothers-to-be (and just had baby) to live and be cared for in a safe environment.

My sister got kicked out of home at 16. She graduated high school, got pregnant, got dumped. Lived in the home for about a year while she got her life together. She thought about giving Samantha up for adoption but decided she just couldn't do that. Staff supported her with whatever decisoin she choose. Samantha's a crazy teenager today, but not as wild as my sister. Thank God!
