I admire my daughter's adoptive parents so much. Yeah. It's totally possible that I could have gotten all the way into the hospital and changed my mind. Heck, in Washington, I think you can still change your mind for the first six months of the adoption. They could have invested a lot of time, emotion, and money into the whole thing (no money for me, but probably quite a bit for lawyers' fees) for nothing. I know they'd already has someone else change her mind, though I don't know any details about it other than I got her copy of their information package. (It's still around here somewhere.) It wasn't easy and it wasn't cheap.

And they're great parents. Much better, in fact, than a lot of people who have actually produced their own.

Great, so now we have two very weak twins which could have been healthy twins if the idiot parents had selected a couple embryo's instead of trying for a whole litter.

Or, they could have adopted.

You know, we spay and neuter our pets because we love them. When we gonna get around to humans?

They tried that a half century ago. Getting into who can and can't reproduce invokes the spector of eugenics.
