Ms Janice Donlon:

We do not have research as to why women are not choosing the option of adoption anymore. As a society, the option of adoption is not considered as much as it has been in the past. From a crisis pregnancy counselling point of view, certainly, if the woman chooses that option, she is able to explore it in terms of being provided with enough information to make that decision. We do not have statistics on the reasons that option is not chosen as much as it was in the past.
