When I worked part time in a church nursery, there was a little girl with cerebral palsy. Later found out she was adopted because the birth mother said no way, Jose, am I dealing with that. Selfish versus the usual unselfish act of adoption, yes, but yet the girl lived, and was living with people who loved her.
The mother in this horror story should have utilized the equivalent of the Baby Moses law. Everyone would have been better off.

That’s the first thought that crossed my mind. There are government funded homes for people like this that usually aren’t pretty, but better than what she got at her “mother’s” home. But on second thought, the “mother” may have been dependent on the Social Security check the girl brought in.
