One reason is that you never know what the birth mother was doing when she was pregnant. Very good possibility she was a boozer or druggie, would not want a crack baby myself, seen how they tend to be. I suspect that some just don't want to raise "someone else's" child, only their own.
Obviously there is a risk of birth defects or some other misadventure during child birth, but that is apples to oranges for most folks.
Adopting a child involves a significant amount of emotion, people often don't make rational choices when this is the case, or said another way, don't try to make sense of it.
