Well, the thing is, many parents choose not to parent their bio kids either. They leave them with grandparents or the courts, or just give them a house key and hope it all works out ok, and it doesn’t create an international incident. I have no doubt, too, that she’s unstable. But how did the social workers miss it? Why did the airline accept the child on the flight? How did he get through security with an expired passport? The system failed him miserably – as it does so many children in the U.S., adopted or otherwise. Sometimes those who need help the most are unable or unwilling to seek it out. Maybe all new parents need regular visits from a social worker.

Laurie…I agree with you completely. Since the “mother” is kind of local, other weird stories are emerging, indicating possibly a not very stable person. I feel sad for the folks whose adoptions are pending and now interrupted, or (I hope not) forbidden. Love, Judith

No one walks into adoption blindly, I don’t care what the circumstances are! Adoption is a tough, wonderful road to building a family and you never give up on it! What would she have done if her son was bio? Give up on him? I don’t think so. This woman is unfit to be considered a human being in my opinion!

Thanks for the clarification. I got the impression that nothing going on there was really affiliated, just getting the space used in their own autonomous ways.

I can understand the emotions that led the mother to her actions, but I can’t understand the actions. And I can’t quite get my head around that the mother and her mother did this, and there wasn’t anyone to intervene, and that she got so far in her execution of it. And I’m hoping she’s getting some help, because she needs it.

hey steph, nice that you had a good experience at OT301…it might be worth highlighting that De Peper and OT301 (the ping pong portion) aren’t really affiliated with each other (other than the EHBK connection), and so to find out what’s going on entertainment-wise, it’s more useful to keep your eyes out for the name OT301…

Ah, I like that we part. I wonder if we can turn that into divide and conquer?

Ack! How did I miss this before!

Your to-do list of shaking things up could be my very same list. Like….word for word! The sad thing is it has also been my list for the past 3 years. I have it all written down and it never seems to change, or be achieved.

We should work on that!
