There are, and I fully believe adoption could effectively remove most abortion cases outside of those preformed for health, rape, etc, reasons. I'm not being very specific because it would need to be figured out properly.
The issue however is that the adoption process is not very efficient and tends to turn more people away than get people to adopt more kids. Plus, it is not really presented as an option to the mother that does not want to keep her child.
To me it is an effective compromise. We protect the unborn (at some point most people agree there is human life) by allowing them exactly that, life...and we create an easier process for the mother to give up the child for adoption, therefore she is effectively removed from needing to care for the child, something she doesn't want to do in the first place.
Sad, really that it doesn't happen more often.
