This is disturbing: "An unidentified woman abandoned a three-month-old baby in the Emergency Room area of King Fahd Specialist Hospital... Nursing found the crying infant and a note that said, 'He is a legitimate orphan baby... Please don't hand him to anyone but only an orphanage.'" What is a "legitimate orphan baby?" At least the
Not, locally, here, but I am also "disturbed" about the case of Caylee Marie Anthony. If Caylee's mom just did not want to be a mother anymore, surely there must have been an option for her to seek help at some agency... There is speculation that the child was sold. Huh? No. I don't think the child was sold. I think this child is dead. And I just do NOT understand the mindset of Casey Anthony - the child's mother - or of George and Cindy Anthony - the child's grandparents. HOW THE FU¢K do you NOT REPORT TO POLICE that a two-year-old has gone missing FOR OVER A MONTH!?! There is something very, very, very wrong with this whole situation. And, I, just don't get it... I am not a big fan of Greta Van Susteren, I don't dislike her - I just think she is a "fluff" reporter - but I find myself watching her show almost every day, lately, for developments on the Caylee story... The outcome is going to be bad - bad for this child. There is no outcome bad enough for the mother - who does NOT deserve to even have the privilege of being called that, mother - she knows exactly what happened to this little girl and she is not telling. Casey Anthony is a "poster child" for forced sterilization if there ever was one!!!
Sabra, your news there is crazy. Like those people are nut cases type of crazy. I can't help but wonder how it would be here if the media weren't censored as they are.
ReplyDeleteI guess my point is, at least you know what you're dealing with.
You have a point, AIO. It is only in the past few years that the media here has become more open. Crazies, everywhere, though, AIO. Everywhere!
ReplyDeleteUgh - we have an orphanage here in Oman. Took the hub once and fell in love with a beautiful week old baby there. Wanted him, had the hub hooked, but family 'pressure' got the best of him. Very, very sore spot still. I am still trying to work on adopting a baby here, but the stigma placed on them from society is still wacked. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteDon't give up, L_O! I hope it works out for you and that your DH can come around and overcome family pressures and societal stigmas.
ReplyDeleteLet's see if i can translate: A legitimate orphan is one who's parents are dead; a non-legitamate orphan is the kid that fell out of the indonisian maid that is preventing her from working her normal 16 hour shift and looks suspiciously like the Man of the House and wife number three thinks it is detracting from her illusion of tranquility. Just geussing, here.
ReplyDeleteI think you translated the matter quite well, Vermindust. Thanks!
ReplyDeletesince the baby was three months, it probably means that the woman is a widow and that the chid is without a father. That is a legitimate orphan in this country. My SIL's kids are seen as orphans although their mother is alive and well.
ReplyDeleteL- here it is very difficult to adopt. But if you could ever talk your man into it.. just please the family by nursing which should calm their fears a bit. There are families here that have found babies (yes like the old movies babies are dropped at door steps) and simply kept them for their own. Once they get in an orphanage very difficult to adopt here.
Nz, you should do a post on this - on why it is that once a child gets to a orphanage it is so difficult to adopt.
ReplyDeleteI wrote about abandoned babies in this country. Which is really high. And did get into a little of the difficulty of adopting and what they are starting to do to form families for orphans.
