There are cases where it's a lesser evil. For example, my great grandmother who was 16 when she gave birth to my granddad, and spent three years trying to create a home in which she could raise him, only to fail.
Granddad had a very rough time in his adopted home, but it was still a better situation than being a fatherless bastard in a city in the mid 1910's.
Adoption isn't evil. Giving up your kid for adoption is evil.
