True - I suppose my opinion is slightly colored by the high I'm currently feeling about the baby Its unfathomable to me to think that just because this baby was born to a young mom as a complete surprise that it would mean its not loved or wanted. Yes she is young (too young in my honest opinion) but she will be a great mom and this child will know nothing but love at home.

I know poor Ashley's own mom couldn't care less about her 3 kids. Pretty sad to see the end results: the disappointment and empty feeling because their mom doesn't want to think of them Ashley said that if her mom called about the baby all she'd say is, "Thank you for showing me how NOT to be a mom."
