Quote:So what your saying is that orphaned kids should be given away like Christmas cookies to whom ever wants one, regardless of whether or not they actually have the means to take care of the child? While I agree that the current system is too expensive and not perfect, It's not broken. Kids are expensive whether you have them naturally or adopt them. I'm not sure what the hospital costs(pre insurance dollars) are for having a kid naturally are, but I feel the cost should be about the same for each.I though this was a hypothetical board....and on this hypothetical board we were all Kings and Queens. I think that makes me financially fit to be a parent....hypothetically.
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.
