Baby Stealers

I just turned the tv on 20/20, and oh my gosh, it was about adoption. Ugh! I wish I could quit finding these stupid shows. Like an idiot, I sat and watched it. It was kind've like trying not to look at a train wreck. Anyhow, this 16 year old girl was interviewing couples who wanted to adopt. She semi-settled on one couple. Before she could make up her mind, she gave birth. Once she saw the baby, she began to change her mind. The girl's mom started second-guessing the decision. She was waiting on her husband to say they could keep him. Sadly, he never gave his ok. There was a part in the show that truely made me sick. While this poor girl was making the hardest decision of her life, the couple sat for hours across the hall in another room like they were waiting on their prey. OMG! I thought I was going to puke! The term "Baby Stealers" came to my mind. The girl did end up religuising her rights to her baby. Too sad!

Thanks for nothing!

When I was in middle school and high school, there was an older girl at church, Heather, who was really nice to me. I recently found her on facebook. When I was sharing some of what's wrong w/ me, she told me that she knew when I was a kid, that something wasn't right. At the time, Heather wasn't much more than a kid herself. This makes me question, what about all the adults in my life? Surely, they knew; it wasn't hidden. I can't understand why they did nothing to intervene. There's no way to know, but maybe I wouldn't be as bad off now, had someone helped me back then. I guess it was a lot easier for them to point fingers at me and constantly remind me about all the things I did wrong. This makes me sick, sick, sick.
