Promoting marriage among single mothers: An ineffective weapon in the war on poverty? | Council on Contemporary Families
Single mothers that marry generally end up worse off than women that don't marry at all. Their children also gain zero benefit, the marriage is far less likely to last than any other marriage.
The only group of women that benefit are those that marry the biological father of their children.
The statistic is:
1% of women adopt.
3% of men adopt.
This includes couples adopting children together counts for both male and female statistic.
This includes men adopting the children of his spouse after marriage.
This includes women adopting the children of her spouse after marriage.
This includes lesbian couples, this includes gay couples.
The truth is, VERY few PEOPLE are willing to raise someone else's kid.
the MAJORITY of women are currently having children out of wedlock, even though their children will have a shittier life than those that grow up in a 2-parent home.
So if adoption is a sign of altruism, why is it that men are doing it at 300% the rate of women.
