A Legal Choice
Can a child make a choice to pick the family it should be with? What constitutes a real family? They say blood is thicker than water but I have seen a lot of adopted children with parents that love them. In some cases the child is better off without its biological parents.
Would you give a child to a woman who has a number of other children living with her but whose standards are very low? She condones lying and all sorts of inappropriate behavior within her own family? Or would you give her to a woman who loves this child very much and has given her all her creature comforts.
I took a legal class years ago and realized that legal issues are not always about right and wrong. Sometimes a legal system delivers justice and sometimes a legal system is corrupt. Would you like to see a woman take responsibility for a child only to put her into the sex trade? And what parent would ever want that for her child? God's will be done. Please pray for this situation as this is something that is recently happening to someone I know.
A child needs a good role model to grow up to be a responsible person but each and every person out there has a personal agenda. If a woman is only wanting custody of a child to bring her money why is that not considered permissible evidence?
