Equal Rights: Standing Up For Adoption

When it comes to rights on children I fully believe that there should be equal rights when it comes to deciding on whether the child should be placed into adoption. As they say it takes two to tango and if that tango results in a pregnancy I believe that men and women should have equal rights in the decision on whether they should put the child up for adoption.
