“I don’t see why she would take the chance of putting her baby out into the world”
The risk is negligible. In public adoptions, adoptive parents are vetted as if for a high security clearance. In private adoptions, since there are so many couples who want a baby, people with infants to place can be as choosy as they like about prospective parents.
What it comes down to is selfishness on the part of Bristol Palin. She preferred to keep her baby rather than give him the best possible chance in life.
That’s her right. But in terms of “making the best of bad situations,” let’s not pretend for one second adoption isn’t the best thing for any kid in this situation, even a famous Palin.
“There are plenty of good male role models in their family.”
Yeah, libs have been selling a “good male role model” as an acceptable substitute for a father in the home married to the mother for years now. And how has that worked out? Does anyone really buy it anymore?
Flip the script. Would you say that “a good female role model” is an acceptable substitute for a mother in the home married to the father? It’s absurd.
That we pretend otherwise — that “it takes a village” and “good male role models” are acceptable substitutes for married fathers and mothers — is one of the reasons we’re in such big trouble.
If she were really a “great mom,” Bristol Palin would have married the father or given up her son to a married couple immediately after birth. That’s putting your child first — which is what “great moms” do. Since she didn’t, I’m not interested in anything else she has to say.
Every kid deserves a mother and a father married to each other.
If my child messed up and got pregnant or someone pregnant, I would want them to keep the baby and myself and my family would do everything we could to help raise the child.
That is me. You have a different view on life. I am glad you are at least pro-life.
BTW, what do you think about all the young women who have small kids or are pregnant and their husbands have been killed fighting in our military? Do you require they give their children up for adoption?
I question who raised you with the comments you made.
