Mother returns adopted child to Russia.

Just yesterday I was talking to a friend about how people have no idea what having children is all about. And then I stumbled on a news that a mother returned her adopted son to Russia on a plane by himself. I can't say how enraged that makes me. Children don't ask to be put in the situations that they're put in, and when you make the decision to adopt a kid from another country, you have made the choice to take care of that kid. It's your responsibility to make sure that child is safe and look after his mental well being. That womb should have done her homework. She should have found out information on where he came from and what his life was like. She should have paid for him to see a shrink instead of branding him a psychopath. That was her responsibility. She opted to adopt him so she has no right to think she can just give up on him. It's just like that woman who adopted a black baby but then decided to return him because she didn't feel as connected to him as she did her other children. These women need to stop playing with people's lives and realize that they are screwing up these children's lives. If you don't think you can handle adoption, then don't adopt. But if you make the decision to go ahead with it, then you should be there for the full ride.

Having children

If you talk with young people you're going to find that a lot of them are eager to grow up and some are eager to have children. But having children is not as easy as one would imagine. It was not wash when our parents had us and it is not easy today.
With the economy the way it has been for the past decade, you would have to save at least $90,000 dollars before you consider having children. Raising children is very expensive. And I know there are people out there who raise their children with very little money, but you have to think about the children for a second. Children never ask to be born, and once you've made the decision to have them you have to be prepared to take care of them. You have to give them the best of everything.
