Can you imagine, your life, put all over the internet in a case that one couple, decided to make public, so they could force public opinion to help them take one man's child away, and adopt her?
I do not think I need to go into details of the case of Baby Veronica, because there are so many blogs and newspapers that have carried the story, albeit, most have twisted the story to suit the needs of the couple who wrongfully believe they have a right to this child, going against this child's biological family, a father who the court has found to be a fit and loving parent, and this child has thrived in the care of her father for the past two years.
My question to everyone is this, why is it, that it is acceptable for a single woman to raise a child, but a man, regardless if he is single or has remarried, is not acceptable? Why is it that laws and courts are so willing to remove a child from the care of a loving father, and yet, we all hear of cases where courts refuse to remove children from the care of their mothers even when the children are abused, neglected or exposed to drugs and alcohol?
What is wrong with our society that so many feel men are not loving and caring givers to their children?
I have been a single parent, I know how hard it is to be single with little ones to raise. It is hard, but not impossible. A dear friend of mine recently lost his wife, she had cancer, she was in remission when suddenly she took a turn for the worse, he has been left with three children. With the passage of time, he knows, he can do this! And a wonderful job he is doing!
I know a lot of men who are raising their children on their own, another friend who lost his wife in a accident, was approached to put the kids up for adoption. WHY are we asking men to place their children for adoption?
One case, a man learned he was a father when his daughter was two years old, he was never told his former girlfriend was pregnant, she hid it from him, broke off their relationship, gave birth, and the child was abused for the first year of her life, the state finally took action, removed the girl from the mother, severed her rights, and for a year, this child was in a foster home, then a state care facility. The child had been so severely abused, she did not know how to play, communicate, she had not learned to walk, or talk. She was not wanted, it was then that the state finally began to seek her biological father. When he was found, they did a DNA test, it was confirmed, he was indeed her father. He has custody of that little girl, who in the past years has improved greatly. But that has not come without a cost, he lost his job because his daughter needed care, he almost lost his apartment, but his landlord took heart, and put him in a house, charging him no rent. But this child has improved with the love from her father.
Why do people think fathers are not good enough to raise their children?
