Send the baby to me, I'll take care of her. I'm a sixty-year old woman who has raised a son who is now 40 years old. Somehow I managed and would be glad to care for a baby either for good or for a while to give this woman a break from her perceived burden.
I'm not her judge, but this situation sounds bad for everyone concerned. The years get by so fast, and, too soon, children are gone and the house is SO quiet. If one has alienated their child or children, I would imagine that the silence in a house would be deafening if a kid had been treated so miserably they never came back home again.
Jesus said it right, the times are so evil that the love of many has grown cold, and the abortionists have created a climate where natural affection is a shadow of what it once was.
I am willing to bet that "Dear Abby" will get a barrage of those kinds of letters. So many couples would do just about anything to have a baby, do not have the funds to adopt overseas, and wait impatiently on adoption agency lists for a baby in the US. I know couples like that, myself.
This baby needs and deserves love. There are so many families that would welcome her with open arms. I would fly out to get her, myself.
I do have to admit, though, that it does have all the hallmarks of an agenda letter. If it is a hoax, and the result they desired is a "poor woman. You should have had an abortion. Your husband is off fighting an illegal war, and he is a typical military brute yada, yada, yada...", I think they will be surprised by the outpouring of concern for the child. That's IF "Dear Abby" would allow those letters to be published. Big IF.
