Women in crisis pregnancies have been urged to think of adoption by a new group and website dedicated to publicising the option. “It should be back on the radar and it should be discussed.”Mr Phelan was critical of some commentary on social media about adoption as an option in crisis pregnancies and described it as a “wonderful option for some people”. He was speaking at the launch in Dublin of myadoptionstory.ie, a website designed to promote the option of adoption for women in crisis pregnancies. “Our message to pregnant women in crisis is that the gift of life is in your hands,” she said. She said some repeal campaigners seemed to believe that abortion was a better option than adoption – “that death is better than life”.
