Well, if the parents didn't want contact with her, that's their business.

Many people don't want contact with some other people, and I don't believe unwanted contact should be forced. Tough, yes, but, unfortunately, it happens in life. We've all known or heard of "regular" families who don't want and don't have contact with one or another.

However, the unwanted child-now-adult should be able to access whatever public information there is, and, as we all know, there is plenty of info out there in public record and social media.

Has Pastor Huckebee considered that the next Commander-in-Chief may be

another Democrat?
What would he encourage parents to tell their children in that case?
Besides, I believe joining the military should be the young adult's decision, not the parent's.

I think you have it right, pnwmom, re Adults having access

to full information.
While there may be unwanted complications for birth parents with the info being available, the adopted adult - 18 yrs and older- has many reasons - both physical and psychological - for wanting/needing this info.

If the birth parents knew at the time of adoption that the birth info could be protected for 18 yrs, I believe the number of adoptions would not be markedly affected.

"Had he known.... he would have never..." is not sufficient excuse.

This guy needs to be out of the business of politics, or any field dealing with human beings.

Perhaps inanimate objects would be better suited for his efforts.

You are most generous! But

those would never accommodate my boobs.

Interesting case. Dr. Drew (HLN) and a panel on his program have been speaking about this

on several occasions.

It seems the wife had daughters who objected to the husband's actions, and he had either been "requested: or "told" not to have sex with his wife.

Dr. Drew believes that it is not wrong for the husband to have sex with his incapacitated wife, assuming that was a part of their regular life until her until she was in nursing care. Dr. Drew says that dementia patients can and should still have pleasure in the moment, in fact, that may be all they have.

I don't think we can know definitively if marital coitus was appropriate in this instance, but assuming the wife was not injured physically by the experience, and considering that the wife is now deceased, my opinion is to give the husband the benefit of the doubt and dismiss the case.

Some poster are more interesting than others.

When disinterested, it's best to use one's time and energy elsewhere.

Wonderful. I thinking of the many changes you've seen

since the advent of your working career.
As we all have. - Life is so very different now from the late 60's.

Enjoy your new way of life!
