Yes, one of the things that you thought she ought to do is give up her son to a “suitable married couple” which is an absolutely outlandish punishment.
That’s not primarily to punish the mother, but rather to protect the child and society’s commitment to the importance of committed, married parenthood.
Still looking for any answers to my questions.
I didn’t think they were particularly hard ones.
Reminds me of a scene from one of my favorite movies, "Baby Boom" when Diane Keaton is looking for a "suitable married couple" for the baby that was left to her by a cousin who died. Did you see it? She decides to brave the Vermont winters and start her own baby food business at home, to raise the little girl herself.
Awesome movie ~ hilarious, poignant and inspiring.
