Precious Child

The news of a Georgia toddler who died of extreme heat after being left in the car by his dad is so disturbing. The police apparently found evidence that the dad had searched online for details on infant death by overheating. It looks like the dad actually wanted to kill the child. The mom apparently said that she stands by her husband and trusts him.

Nobody knows what the truth is, but if parents do not want to have their kids anymore, why don't they give them up for adoption? On one side there are devastated parents who lose their children to accidents, diseases and crime and on the other side there are parents who abuse or even murder their children. There are numerous couples who cant have children and wish so earnestly for one. I wish people knew that there is another way.

I cannot fathom how anyone can hurt an innocent child, who loves and trusts the adults in its life, especially when it is your own. I do not have words to describe what I see and feel when I look into Sunshine's eyes. It makes me melt and gives me the kind of happiness that I have never experienced otherwise. Ofcourse bringing up a child is hard work, but just the sight of its innocent eyes is worth it. The hugs, the kisses, the milestones, the drama and the incessant array of cute things that little kids do - they give us a lot more than they get from us.

Nevertheless, it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Some people might have gone ahead and had a kid, thinking it is, or might have had a kid accidentally. Whatever the case, I wish people would just bring their kids to a safe place when they feel that parenting is not for them instead of hurting their kids.
