On the news, there were a couple of heartbreaking stories, right in a row.
A neighborhood somewhere kept hearing a weird crying noise all night long and when it didn't stop a man went to investigate, and found a newborn had been thrown away in a garbage bag. She's alive and in the hospital now. That's not the first time that a similar thing has happened, that I know of. If they don't want it, why can't they give it to someone who does??? I don't understand! They've got to be crazy or evil or ... something. And it totally breaks my heart. I think I've got to be a foster parent. I want to take all those poor little kids and make them better and I want to cry. What's wrong with the world???
And some other lady used her four month old baby as a club to beat her husband... It suffered brain damage and her four other kids have been put into foster care while the baby is in the hospital. That makes me sick.
I don't understand how someone could even think that way. And then because it's on the news, other people who are equally mentally unbalanced can see that this has happened, and turn around and do the same thing. Adoption ought to be more popular. It should be just as momentous as any other story about the lives and futures of little children. Just because it isn't bad doesn't mean it shouldn't be told to the world!!! It would be wonderful if the media would advocate adoption--so many more little children could have homes because of that, and so many more mothers who don't know what to do with a child and resort to desperate means could instead turn to this option.
It's so selfish to decide you don't want a child and so we may as well just throw it away. And babies are supposed to be linked to their mothers through a chemical bond, so again, it's weird that the mother would even think that way.
These things are right up there with abortion. Selfish, and hurtful to the baby. But this blog is not to argue about abortion, so I digress for now.
