Gotta give them credit for adopting a child. It is really a selfless act. Most people selfishly have their own children, bringing a kid into the world without the kids consent and then playing up the life is a gift charade to make them feel better about their selfish choice. Thinking their genes are somehow unique when they're not.
Adoption is a process for many, most do not get newborn babies and you really wonder what the biological mothers history is for (giving away) the child. Did she suffer from mental illness? Did she drink and or use drugs during the pregnancy? Was she real young? Was it another selfish accident? The Flanagans probably know the answers to the tough questions but I'm just generally speaking here there's aspects you would not face as a biological parent. I wish them all the best going forward. Adoption is not easy and always has uncertainties but kudos to them for making a difference for a child.
Are you joking, or is this serious? To accuse someone for giving birth who has the means to care for their children is ridiculous. I would maybe agree with you if someone gave birth and immediately went on welfare or was on food stamps as someone like that is a burden on society. But someone who can financially support their children is not selfish for having them.
I’m guessing that she’s adopting because she wasn’t able to bear her own children for some reason. What woman of child-bearing age would prefer to adopt instead of giving birth to her own children?
