[true believer forever]

Any birth is a much-anticipated event - every child is talked about, planned for, waited for. To not bring the child back to the home, and provide closure for the siblings, could have resulted in those children having problems with with the normal events of loss and losing a loved one later in life. I think the Santorums were very enlightened, and courageous, in the way they did this. It must have been excruciating for both parents. I give Santorum a lot of credit. Alan Colmes is a degenerate, who cares what he says...

I agree.

And what was the alternative?

To say, our son, your brother, died at the hospital so they threw him away?

No, Gabriel had to be brought home, mourned, and treated by the family as any other departed loved one.
