I don't think it was a deliberate decision to raise ten kids by herself. The article states that the father of 8 of them, moved to the east coast. What is she supposed to do?
You and Mrs. Shalom have a stable marriage, and adoption is a good thing. Good luck : )
Exactly, that's why I called her "stupid": she wanted the man to help her raise her eight kids, but took no steps to help make sure it happened. It was extremely forseeable that a man who knocks up an unmarried girl is likely to move on eventually, even if he does move in with you at one point.

I know what! She should find another man, and have two more kids out of wedlock! Sheer brilliance! Yup, I'll be happy to swap Paypal addresses so we can bet whether she's stupid or not. In fact, I guess it's enough if I give you mine, since you'll be the one paying up. :-)
