That the boys' moms were drug addicts (which is unfortunately true) or gangbangers or drug dealers or hookers/prostitutes (also unfortunately true) and that they didn't "want them" -
Yah - well, that was NEVER their choice. J's mom didn't even try to take him home - she left him at the hospital (something I'll always be grateful for - 1, that she had him at a hospital and didn't leave him in a box or garbage can somewhere, and 2, that she didn't even try to take him and left him there to get the care he needed, though I'm not real sure she had a choice in that matter anyhow)
In our case it's sad that's what people think, but what's sadder is that it's actually true.
