Very long time lurker. Way back to the time when rational people thought Spenser made sense.

Long traveled road. (Doll by Doll, anyone?)

This page and topic is very relevant to my wife and I. We have adopted kids from a birth mother with a tough story. But for us, for better or worse, our role is to our damnedest to ensure that our children have a chance to flourish.

To me it is unbelievable that anyone with any sense of self could disown these kids (for that is what they did).

Harris and his wife have reneged on their responsibility. Their professed religion is no redoubt. They are despicable, weak, heinous people. And their supporters equally so.

As my wife says, “she cannot stomach this whole story” because she is afraid that there is some underlying narrative we do not know about; as in England, an institutionalized abusive, protected group.

I hope it is not so.
