I think the worst part about the story is the fact that basically these people are just paying off strangers to have a kid for them. It's like the kid is the latest accessory or something. If they really wanted to do something good, why not take in some foster kids that are struggling in the system. And what are they going to tell the kid when he gets older? Hey, we wanted a kid so we just paid off a stranger to have you. Life is hard enough growing up in a traditional family -- anyone who thinks that they kids are not going to grow up completely screwed up and spend years in therapy is out of their ever lovin' mind.
you are not far off.
The ABA model divorce code which resides in the library of every legislature in the USA and every law library, envisions that divorce law will be directed to children being ACCESSORIES to the marriage.
This was followed by the liberal wacko justice in Mass when she wrote the opinion to legalize homosexual marriage in that state.
The model divorce code envisions that marriage will be based on ADULT behavior (IOW recreational sex) not the raising of children.
There is no respectable alternative to the model divorce code written by any conservative group.
