Nothing wrong with large families, PAPA J, if you have the energy and resources for it... and again, if it had been a natural birth, I obviously would have had no problems with that.. other than feeling sorry for her.

The topic of the care of our children in the event of our death has come up, of course, and we have asked one of my sisters to consider it. She consented. Had she not, we would have made darn certain that whoever is given legal custody of our children would want them, in that awful eventuallity.<BR/><BR/>At sixty most people have long since written their will. I wonder if Frieda told her children, "If you want an inheritance, you'll agree to take my children if I die."<BR/><BR/>Selfish doesn't even begin to describe this woman. She is not thinking altruistically towards anyone of these children.Papa Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553592541103800402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-32186888151714223022007-05-27T21:38:00.000-04:002007-05-27T21:38:00.000-04:00Exactly, Paula, I could understand that, as well. ...Exactly, Paula, I could understand that, as well. And why not adoption? I saw this amazing story tonight about a couple who adopted 2 Russian twins. Then several years later discovered that there were 4 other siblings in Russia, who were now living in an orphanage..2 other sets of twins. Now 10 and 8 (their kids are now 6). So they decided to adopt those children, as well, in spite of the financial troubles. And they did. I went through a bunch of tissues. Very heartwarming. So many kids need to be adopted. <BR/><BR/>BCF: Absolutely... sigh.Incognitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09692949516037191969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-984908192658455612007-05-27T20:04:00.000-04:002007-05-27T20:04:00.000-04:00It is selfish, no question, just because you can d...It is selfish, no question, just because you can doesn't mean you should.Blazingcatfurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05260488914265052543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34133856.post-78715463473480280192007-05-27T19:58:00.000-04:002007-05-27T19:58:00.000-04:00.........and those poor children being famous FORE............and those poor children being famous FOREVER for having the oldest mother in the USA.

Kids need time, care and lots of energy ....<BR/><BR/>I just do not like this 'trading business' with children; travelling abroad to escape your own countries laws, surrogate mothers in most cases. Is it me or has the frequency of siamese twins increased in the news – I put that down to new fertility treatments and media’s love for the ‘freak’ show.lizzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01969479814514252364noreply@blogger.com
