My friend says that the first question she is going to ask God when she gets to Heaven is why some people can have children and others can't. Parenting isn't about having lots of money, etc, but certainly basic needs have to be met. What was said about the car seat struck a cord with me. On our first adoption with the unstable mom, the hospital was going to make darn good and sure we brought our car seat into the hospital, but when mom left with the baby, she had no car seat and they did nothing. I'm betting she also had nothing else for the baby (diapers, formula, clothes). It was like this whim decision because she was mad and not getting her way.
We loved our second mom, and know that baby is going to be fine, so I have faith that MOST birthmoms are loving, wonderful people. Unfortunately, that small number of women like we've discussed get most of the attention.
I'm glad your situation worked out Michelle!!!
