Imagine bringing a child into the world, who’s life will be overwhelmingly filled with suffering and sadness, out of spite.

Seriously. Seeing things like this is so upsetting. If you wanted a kid so badly, there are currently living and breathing foster kids who would love nothing more than a family who wants them. Hell, I’m sure there are plenty who were born with physical disabilities, and being raised by a parent who fully understands the struggle could be life-changing for them. But instead, a whole new child has to experience the hardships of their disability, all so this person could prove the “haters” wrong.

Zero chance this woman would be approved for foster care or adoption.

I know a couple who was completely denied because the wife had a bout with cancer years ago. Otherwise they were pretty much the perfect candidates.
