[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I couldn't stop reading this story. This is definitely a case where morals, ethics and the law collide to wreak total havoc.

There is no doubt that Mary Beth has an addiction of sorts to mothering infants. One could say it is inherently selfish because this unilateral decision-making adversely impacts all of the people in her life--her adult children, other young children, her husband, her grandchildren and now the lawyers, the foster family and youngest babies.

Ethically, one could question having babies you likely won't be able to parent to adulthood. Her decision to get pregnant despite the high risk of uterine rupture that would have potentially left her first 10 children without a mother. And then the lengths she went to (emotionally, financially, criminally) in order to have the last set of twins really demonstrates that this is a compulsion and not healthy for anyone involved.

And now she has created a situation that is downright tragic for everyone. No matter who "wins", everyone has been hurt. I do not envy the judge in this case and wish the best for those babies. [/quote]

What I don't understand is why did she not just take up fostering? She could have a new baby every year and is clearly well-suited to it. [/quote]
No, she is not. Fostering means being selfless and she wants the attention and fanfare of having newborns. She is compulsively acting out over and over. I wonder how real those stories are of her dropping everything to help. If she does, it's to get attention. She is not normal in any way. [/quote]
