So have you read anything about the "Safe Haven" law in Nebraska? Parents can leave their child, up to the age of 17, at a hospital if they can't take care of them. And I guess this is quite the problem.
I had heard about this in the news but recently read about it on a blog.
I know from hearing things and seeing things that some kids would be better off in a different situation than they one they are in with their parents. So some kids are better off being dropped off at a hospital.
As I read articles about this people are actually flying to Nebraska to leave their kids at hospitals before the law changes.
This hurts my heart. All these kids need love. I wish I was in the position of say Oprah, that I could create a place for all these kids to stay, to be loved, accepted, and a place that they could grow into mature loving adults.
I know I'm dreaming but wouldn't it be nice if a big name celebrity with lots of dough would do something spectacular here, in this situation.
It would take a lot but it could be done.
I dunno, just thoughts. Thanks to Francis Chan for making me think a little more and a little differently.

I think people just give up too easily. Not only do people give up on marriages (high divorce rates), but now they're giving up on raising their own children. I can't imagine it...
