Why wouldn't this idiot have gotten her tubes tied? It sounds like she's going to kill the little girl if someone doesn't intervene. What a horrible situation for a defenseless baby to be in.

[Deepest South]

I'll take the baby. When mom and dad figure out that this was the greatest thing to happen in their lives and want her back I'll give her back. I'll pay to have the baby sent to me and my wife and kids and she will be loved in this family while mom gets over whatever it is that has her in this mess.

Adoption is forever or when it's undone in a court action it is a horrible thing for the adoptive parents. We know the babies not ours but we are just taking care of her while mom recovers.

Have had about a dozen foster babies over the years they were all adopted in the end. We have however made the above offer to hundreds of women planning abortion and it stopped hundreds in their tracks. Funny how you realize what a blessing you have when the blessing is desired by another. Often just a day or a few hours a day without the baby and the stress of that care will allow mom some time and rest. Mom might see if a local church has a program to take babies for a short time and see if that helps. Mom likely needs somebody to talk to and that support goes a long way to help this woman adjust to being mom.

Shades of Janet Cook, Batman! I think the letter is a fabrication.

May God richly bless this poor sweet baby's life. I hope the parents do what's right for the child.

"If you leave the baby with your husband,"

What the heck kind of advice is that?!?
She said her "husband can't stand the baby either". What does this "DEAR ABBY" idiot think the husband might do to the baby if he feels that way?

[Aquinasfan]

I'm 26 and have never wanted children. Last year, however, two lines appeared on a pregnancy test, and 41 weeks later, the girl was born. I pleaded and begged my husband throughout the pregnancy to sign adoption papers with me.

He's not your husband, since you're not married. You're not married because you have intentionally rejected children.

There are three essential components to a valid marriage: the intention of an exclusive lifetime commitment at the time of the wedding, mutual care of the spouses, and openness to bringing children into the world. Simply stated, God intended marriage for the propagation of the human race.

This letter smells like a setup - it seems contrived to show that "see, here's why abortion should be more acceptable".

[Mcirrus]

Sounds to me like she loves herself to the point where she has none left for her child. Kids can drive you nuts at times, but how could anyone say they hate thier own child...

[Lazamataz]

I, too, am repulsed by her baby.

[fortunecookie]

It sounds like she's going to kill the little girl if someone doesn't intervene. What a horrible situation for a defenseless baby to be in.

If she doesn't physically kill the baby, I'm sure the baby already senses the lack of affection in mom. In orphanages and institutions, thousands of babies and children suffer this fate, and then suffer potentially life long (especially if there is no one to intercede on their behalf) disabilities and issues as a result of this failure to thrive and/or attach. Sociopaths are sometimes created thusly. That poor, poor baby. I pray the mom takes the advice and seeks help. There are many people who will help her or raise the baby for her, she just doesn't know it.

[Hildy]

There's an incredible network of military families and a barrage of help groups as well. If this woman really wants help, she can get it.

[MHGinTN]

Hmmm, good time to get tubes tied, sweetie, so no more of those pesky baby thingies can pop out of your body. And give that precious little one up for adoption to loving humans, not selfish me-mes like you..

[reagan_fanatic]

I don't want her to touch me, and I can barely hide my revulsion.

This baby's life is in serious danger. This woman could snap at any minute and do major harm.

I pray either she or someone she knows gets her the help she desperately needs before it's too late.

[longtermmemmory]

is this real?

Seems like a fake so that the left can say "BABIES are suffering from soldier absence!"

How many of these dear abby type letters are made up?

[Fawn]

Don't call her an idiot. She's obvioulsy very depressed....at least she's asking for help instead of drowning the baby.

[Harrius Magnus]

My wife and I will take the baby, no questions asked, none answered.

[pollyannaish]

Is this an "I should have had an abortion" seminar writer? This story seems really far fetched.

[N3WBI3]

This to me sounds like postpartum depression, lets not all be so hard on her. Now she needs to get treated for it before she screws up the kid..

Last year, however, two lines appeared on a pregnancy test, and 41 weeks later, the girl was born.

Kind of like those guns that jump out of storage and kill people walking by.

Sad.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

1. This letter was either written by the sad-sack columnist, or heavily revised by the sad-sack columnist.
2. It pushes the radical feminist agenda: motherhood is damnation.
3. I've noticed that these sob-story advice-to-whiners columns very often trash men and push the radical feminist agenda.
4. It's not worth any more of our time.

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

I noticed that she doesn't refer to her baby as "my baby". It's always "the girl". Only once, near the end, does she refer to her baby as "my child".
