Yeah, I knew that was an adopted family but the meme fit the thread so...
...Whiskey Tango Hotel.
LOL!!!....................
The better case to make is that children where a valuable commodity at the time and the male spouse had full control over them. He could send them away or keep them. This law stripped the bio dad of any rights. Now of course a father cannot simply punt a child to an orphanage.
The PBS show has a storyline and scene about Ross Poldark learning that another man is going to raise his son and Poldark could do nothing about it.
Top this! Know a guy he divorced wife one to marry wife two who already had two kids because she was carrying his kid. After they marry and the child is delivered she has another. So now she has 2 from 2 prior marriages and 2 from her marriage to him. He then agrees to adopt the 2 priors so that all 4 can have the same name. Then he finds out the first isnt his so he divorces her and in the proceedings find out the 2nd isnt his.
Ends up on the hook for all four! He tried to undo the adoption. No luck. He tried to get out supporting the two from his marriage and the judge took literally one minute to you where married to her when they where born so by law they are yours.
After the ruling he dropped out of society and has never worked a day since.
Moreover, even today, with scientific proof as to legitimacy easily available, proposals to make it possible for courts to routinely inquire into the paternity of children born to a marriage give most family court judges a sinking feeling and makes them hear voices saying "turn back now, fools, while you still can."
The mail order bride industry is absolutely rife with crooks and scammers. Also, it does nothing to protect you from your mail order bride finding out that the feminazi movement has made it so she can fleece you at will.
