I can't laugh. That poor child will now have the stigma, the unjust burden, of the knowledge that her appearance caused her mother such harm. What of the child now? Will she be rejected by her mother? Left someplace to starve and die; or will she live a life of needless shame and guilt? While her mother is certainly better off without her ex-husband; I fear for the little girl.

Part of the settlement was that my parents would not disclose this ugly incident in my past.

Life in mainland China is a very different place. My family and I work closely with an orphanage whose sole mission is to save baby girls. With the one-child policy, if a girl is born they often die of "crib death" although reality is dropped in a well or just left on the side of the road.

Sorry for being bummer man on a humorous thread.

If you are looking for a worthwhile charity. These ladies are awesome. Every little bit will literally help save the life of a young girl. They operate and take their name from the story of the girl walking along the beach after a big storm and throwing starfish that had washed up back into the ocean. A man asked why she was doing that, that there were hundreds of starfish, that her throwing a few back really wouldn't matter, she replied, "It mattered to that one." It is a huge problem, and they know they can't save them all, but it certainly matters to the few they can.

Again, if you are looking for a worthwhile charity...one that truly lives up to it's mission statement...you could do a lot worse than support the Starfish home.
