Baby with Down Syndrome

In the news, also in a friend's posting in Facebook, an Australian couple refused to take a baby from their Thai surrogate, after it was revealed that he had Down Syndrome. They took the healthy twin.

This story made me feel very sad. What shame and irresponsibility, to take one healthy twin while abandon the other twin with Down Syndrome! The right thing to do was to accept both babies. Even giving them both to the poor Thai woman in her care, and not to separate the twins, would be a lesser evil. 

The Australian Government should pay the poor Thai surrogate mother some money, and take the baby with Down Syndrome back home to Australia. Then order the shameful couple to give up both babies to Government or foster care! 

Happy Father's Day

Fathers of the World: if your children don't say Happy Father's Day to you, still say Happy Father's Day to yourself and to your father. Be happy, no matter what !!!

Fatherhood

The most honorable job for a man is being a father. He does not get paid. Instead, he must pay to keep his job.
