1/14000 chance a US citizen is a sibling incest baby, though I can’t locate the study at present. I don’t offhandedly know the percentage of babies given up to foster care, but If I had to guess based on foster care’s current numbers? 1-2%.
That’s a one in a million baby. An experience so rare that it’s not worthwhile for most people to ever consider their circumstances as a human being. Even if it’s real, it’s fake until I meet them in person. But if I do, I’ll listen with care.
Or killed to hide the evidence of a crime. I’m not going to assign figures for either, the average is fine enough for what I needed. If someone wants to get exact numbers, they’re welcome to that madhouse.
According to the figures cited by Wikipedia somewhere between 6% and 26%, maybe, but the latter is real hinky and relies on a study that I can’t even find named or specified as peer reviewed or not (great signs!) in a book that is specifically anti-abortion.
The 6% number is from a real peer reviewed study, though. And apparently the non-rape adoption rate is around 1%.
The chance that some lifeless fella sitting on an office chair, wearing bicycle shorts and rubbing the outline of their pud through the fabric instead wrote this is far higher.
And I could be off by an order of magnitude, given my lack of familiarity with baby abandonment. 3000-30 feels like a safe spread

An incest baby would be much more likely to be put up for adoption though.

If it’s a one in a million baby there would still be around 300 of them in the US.

Well… it’s half past 6 in the morning…and I think that’s enough internet for today…
seriously i was having a shitty day and then i read that. i’m going back to bed.
Hopefully bed treated you better than OP
I got out of bed and I regret it. It is a two empanada day
There was a cat in bed if I remember. It is such a distant memory. Like a fart in the wind.
Oh…oh no…I ALWAYS get at least two empañadas…am…am I broken?
Oh, no, I just graze all day. I brunch on a single empanada and a teensy coffee like I’m French or something
I would think the percentage of children given up for adoption is higher in stigmatized circumstances, one of which would be incest.
I’d imagine there might be just a bit of under-reporting. People probably try to hide it.
I live near some polygamist colonies where they are pretty… nested. And they definitely don’t talk to the government about it.
