In reply to the discussion: Girl, 14, forced to become pregnant with donor sperm bought by mother [View all]davidpdx
(22,000 posts)45. I think the coercion part of it is what makes it just despicable
If a person (or couple) decide they can't have a baby and adopt a teenagers (for what at first glance seems like a noble cause) and then goes and buys sperm over the internet (or I shutter to think possibly something even worse) to get the adopted daughter pregnant, they are using coercion.
The other angle is I could see this making it harder for couples to adopt especially from other countries, which is a shame because there are people out there who legitimately want to adopt and are not monsters like this woman.
