[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But if the father had wanted the child, why didn't he keep her at the start? He relinquished her and the baby was up for adoption. It just happened to be the Capobiancos. If I had adopted her and loved her from birth to age 2, you bet I would fight for her with my last breath.[/quote] Then you would be a selfish prick who deserves the pain that will inevitably come when this child reaches adulthood and learns that she was kept from her willing biological family. You are not entitled to someone else's child. Damn, when did legality trump morality with some of you people?! (And even the legal issue is suspect in this case)[/quote] I wonder how some of you would feel if the biological mother suddenly wanted to take care of the little girl. Would you be as forgiving, for biology's sake? [/quote] Of course they would. Many see fathers as superfluous. It's amazing to me how some women think that being pro-woman must equal being anti-men. Sad indeed. [/quote] Considering the slandering and personal bashing of the biological mom, I highly doubt the same people would favor returning Veronica to her, if the mother changed her mind. I'm not anti men, but I don't think you can relinquish responsibility for your child, and then later decide that was a mistake, and expect to have things carry on like there's no problem. I do believe Mr. Brown loves his daughter, and that he now wants her. But you just cannot change your mind when it comes to a child. I hope the Capobiancos will include him and allow him to see and visit with Veronica, but I do believe the right decision was made. Biology doesn't make you a good or better parent - whether you're male or female, biological mother or biological father. [/quote] While biology may not make you a better parent, it is the moral thing to do. Folks are getting caught up in the legality of this issue. I do believe that parents have a right to realize they made a mistake. The infant was 4 months old when he started this battle. That is not an unreasonable amount of time to realize his error. [/quote] Why is "biology" the moral thing to do, if being a good/better parent is not dependent on it? Yes, parents make mistakes, but signing away your child is not like forgetting to make an appointment. I feel for Dusten Brown, but you can't just choose "ok, now I'm ready" when it comes to caring and being responsible for your child. [b]You have to be fully in it from the get-go.[/b][/quote] No, you don't. Plenty of Moms feel a disconnect with their newborns for whatever reason. That doesn't invalidate how they come to love their children and become good Moms. [/quote] There's a major difference between feeling an emotional disconnect, and legally abdicating total responsibility. [/quote] He did not abdicate -- he did not know his kid had been put up for adoption. HE WAS DEPLOYED![/quote] He abdicated his parental rights to make any decisions at all, whatsoever. He signed off. Deployment is irrelevant. Signing away parental rights is not conditional - he signed off totally and completely. [/quote]
