How do you feel being adopted has affected your opinion on abortion?

Growing up adopted into a somewhat dysfunctional family, I so desperately wanted my own family. In college, I found myself pregnant with about a week to make a decision due to the timing (I was 13 weeks and Planned Parenthood only allowed abortions up to 14). It sent me down a rabbit hole of the choices I had to make… cycling through keeping, adoption, or abortion. I realised I could not be a single mom of twins so I contemplated adoption but thought about my own inner turmoils and struggles I had with my own adoption and did not want to put two babies through that so I ultimately decided on having an abortion. I do not regret it and felt it was the right choice for me and the potential children I might have birthed.
