Yes, I get the point! Health care can be quite expensive…especially if the woman or couple are not willing, able, or eligible to take money from the state, or from private charities.
But I was speaking about those in marriages or committed relationships…shouldn’t they have money set aside, ‘just in case’? I do understand the natural mother of my nephew’s first Child, who is handicapped. His mother could not afford the treatment he needs! Even my nephew and his wife who were planning for a Child now take discounted nursing help.
But, mainly I was speaking of people who give up their children. It used to be something unheard of, for married couples to give up their children. As couples are supposed to be open to life, and accept every Child that God gives them, there may be sin involved.
But in cases like these, where they may not be government or private charities to go to, I am sympathetic to the action. And, in most cases, children are better off, with adoptive parents who want them, than natural parents who don’t…for any reason.
For the record, I have never been married or had a child, and, at 66, am not likely to! . I just kind of jumped when my sister told me the second adoption went through, and explained that the mother had too many kids already!
At least these women didn’t have abortions, which we should be thankful for. It does help explain why many people do not marry, or have children. It wasn’t a factor in my decision, but I see how it could be, for some. Thank you for educating us. I’m sure I’ll be more sensitive in the future.
Oh…In my earlier post, I mentioned the Ann Landers survey. Here is a link, which compares the results with a follow-up survey, by Good Housekeeping:
Again, thanks. And God Bless!
