When you are paid to abandon your child...

This has made the rounds recently on a few websites, but I want to open it up further. In San Diego, a surrogacy lawyer pleads guilty to baby selling. The details are in the report (this one was forwarded to me from NOM's blog, which I have to say has gotten pretty good, I suggest people read it weekly or even daily).

Some food for thought. Why should we be upset when a loving family awaits a child that they will likely do a great job of caring for? One could come up with a number of great things to praise about this. However, none of those negate the one bad thing, someone ... somewhere ... was paid off to abandon their child. And that primarily violates a deep understanding we have that is intrinsic to our humanity, and that is the rights the child and each parent have to each other's care and support (we'll call that love). When people exchange money for those rights, that chance for love, such is an injustice felt everywhere.
