IA should always be a last resort! that is according to the UN, UNICEF, SOS for Children and many other NGOs who work on the ground with families in need.<br /><br />The whole family needs services, not just plucking one child while leaving the rest in poverty. that's accomplished very little but to fill a demand for a child as a commodity to make someone happy.Mirah Ribenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626873757236976251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384966947084602158.post-81176102788857469572012-10-03T15:27:09.438-07:002012-10-03T15:27:09.438-07:00Moonstar, what do you think should happen to the A...Moonstar, what do you think should happen to the Afghan baby girl? If they can find some family member who is willing to take her in, great - but if not, is there any reason she should stay in Afghanistan?Lucillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2384966947084602158.post-64653929740782001442012-09-24T12:58:42.510-07:002012-09-24T12:58:42.510-07:00This is very sad, this is more abut filling a dema...This is very sad, this is more abut filling a demand then it is <br />about caring for orphans.<br /><br />And to make matters worse, this story was released just recently.<br />http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/soldiers-discover-abandoned-baby-side-road-afghanistan-053942169--abc-news-topstories.html<br /><br />A newborn baby girl, was just recently found abandoned on the side<br />of the road of Afghanistan, by<br />Polish soldiers.<br /><br />A lot of the comments on the article are horrifying!<br />Some people are comparing this baby girl to Moses,<br />but I can't find those comments at this time.<br /><br />This is just 3 of the many comments quoted.<br /><br />"God is watching over this little girl. I hope she's adopted by a good, loving family."<br /><br />"I would like to believe that the mother put the baby where she would be found by troops of the US or it's allies in order to give that little girl a future that Afghani females can only dream of. Bless the mother for wrapping and putting her precious daughter where she had a chance of being rescued and removed from that environment."<br /><br />This last one is the comment that bothers me the most.<br /><br />"This is very sad, because Islam really doesn't allow adoption. You can be a trustee for a child, but it's never really your child. They also most certainly don't allow the child to be adopted outside their religion. Blood ties are VERY important to them. With this poor baby being both a girl, and an orphan in every sense of the word, she stands a very poor chance of survival. The best she can hope for is that someone becomes her trustee, and takes her in, and keeps her as a virtual slave for the rest of her life. With no blood ties, and being female, she will be the lowest of the low, not suitable for marriage. Precious baby, I wish I could have her. :0("<br /><br />They are comparing legal guardianship and honoring blood ties,<br />to slavery! And the whole "I wish I could have her" is just sick!<br />Rather then feeling bad for this baby girl,<br />they just can't wait to get their greedy hands on her!<br /><br />One person commented saying she should be adopted <br />within her country, so she can learn about her<br />culture. But that comment got a lot of thumbs down.Moonstarnoreply@blogger.com
