Had a lazy Sunday morning and afternoon today. Was too lazy to make it to church. Went for lunch with Babe, on the way back, got papers, read the headlines and was like gobsmacked, flabberghasted, shocked and can't describe my feelings.
Well, basically, an European diplomat and his wife adopted a korean girl when they were based in Korea. Fast forward, six or seven years on, they decided that the adoption was not working out and they decided to give up the child. So they gave the child up to Hong Kong's social and welfare department. I am beyond shock! What bastards! Yes, I don't understand their circumstances but how can they do that. Apparently they decided to adopt when the wife could not have kids and after adopting, they had 2 biological kids and so, maybe they thought that it's convenient to give up the adopted one.
This really pisses me off. I don't even agree with people giving up their dogs when they have kids and now, this. Completely ridiculous. Have they thought about the child, how would the child feel. And the guy, just said, that it's a traumatic time for everyone and his wife is going for therapy. Big freaking deal! The girl is going through a whole lot more! I remember watching Dr Phil years ago and there was this lady who wanted to return her adopted son to India because he had learning difficulties. And of course she had a good telling off.
I have lots of respect for people who adopt or are in the process of adopting. We are in the process of adopting ourselves. But please don't adopt just because you can't have kids and then when you have kids, treat the adopted kid like shit! A child is a person, has feelings, it's more than a dog. Gee...how can people be so heartless! Sorry, I'm just ranting and raving because can't believe that there are people out there that are so heartless and mean!
