Disposable Babies

That's right, disposable babies. What is that you ask? Well it is a child outside the womb and a fetus in the womb, regardless it is a beating heart. I get so angry to hear women that have terminated their pregnancies or killed their child after birth. Babies are not disposable, they were created by God.

The recent coverage of the woman in Ocean City has angered me. Four lives lost by her. If she didn't want them she could have given them up for adoption. But no, she was only thinking about herself not the child. She could have allowed that child to live a good life and be loved by adoptive parents. Am I to assume it is easier to know your child was killed at your own hands than to know  they are  well cared for and living a fulfilled life with an adoptive family that loved them enough to come look for them.

Conception is not a mistake. The forming of a fetus and the birth of a child is not a mistake. The act that got you to the point was the mistake. Don't blame and punish the child for your time of fun. Think about the baby and the life he or she could live with their adoptive family. Think about someone other than yourself. What is nine months of discomfort for yourself to a lifetime of love and happiness for the child?

Now I will get off my soapbox and give a praise of thanks.

Thank you to The Lord for  bringing my nephew into the world and to our lives. Thank you to his biological mother for caring enough not to  terminate her pregnancy. Thank you again to his biological mother for putting him up for adoption. Thank you also  to his biological father for putting him up for adoption. Neither of you had to but because of you he is the highlight of our entire family. We may never meet either one of you but our hearts are overwhelmed with thanks on behalf of my entire family especially his parents. His conception was not a mistake because he was meant to be placed with our family. My God does not make mistakes he has a purpose for every beating heart.
