Yes, adoptive mom, I'm talking to you...

So, something was wrong with your baby. Wow! That never happens in the real world, right? So what do you do when your baby has a problem? Walk away, according to the California couple who flew out to adopt their beautiful baby girl in Miami. Except something was wrong with her. So did they "shore up" and gather friends, relatives, specialists, and savings to take care of the child they had begged and prayed for? No.

Must be nice, I guess, to be able to just abandon a child you had promised to love and care for. As an adoptee, I can honestly say this is actually one of the most pathetic stories I've ever read. When you're desperate for a child, you sometimes take at the worst, even after expecting the best, what is given to you. This is done with all the love you have in your heart, from what I've seen and experienced about adoptive parents (not just mine). Oh, and this mentality also applies to those who don't adopt but are simply given, through birth, whatever they get after months or even years of hoping, praying, and even paying for medical technology to intervene.

You are shallow, selfish, unfathomable people who don't deserve a child. Why go through the process if you can't handle the normal ifs, ands, or buts that come with being a parent (FYI, that means not having a "perfect" child)? If you, potential mother, had actually given birth to this little girl, would you be leaving her in a dumpster because you couldn't handle the responsibility? It sure looks like it.

I would say "hope you burn", but I hate to mess up your nice suburban weekend.
