I respect any long term, loving relationship, which it appears this is. Equating this relationship to child molestation does not speak well for your integrity.

While it doesn't rise to the level of molestation, I can assure you that young Samuel Cheney is already suffering from child abuse.

It is abuse, period, to knowingly and willingly raise a child without a father. How Cheney and Bush can let this slide without some kind of comment is beyond me.

Of course I think its great that another life has been brought into the world, but honestly -- this entire situation is nothing but a tradgdey. I weep for this poor kid.

Hypothetical: A single woman adopts, from a Russian orphanage, a male 3-year-old confined to a wheelchair by spina bifida and raises him as her son.

That's abuse?
