Ok I amm going to piss off someone now, but here goes.
1st off I have several friends who are mentally retarded(yes I am politacally incorrect) The parents who adopted them were not told of the disabilty (they would have adopted them anyway). They matured in body not mind, parents were afraed of a pregnancy tried to have them have tubes tied. But our laws don't allow for a parent of these children make the choice. Well the most sever is in a group home and is supervised on birth control. Her sister who doesn't seem as bad has had 8 children The first one was given to her half brother to raise (by the State) all others are in state care foster homes one of them is in a mental hospital as both parents were on drugs and at age 5 he treid to kill another foster child.
2nd how was she allowed in to the country on a work visa without provisions on it that she was to be with a family member. If she was where was the member though all of the easiler months (babies are not like Hampster 19days)
Where was the fathers concren about her then.?
I have grown up with these type of people in my home area granted they want to make a living,but they should stay home and change there own country. We shouldn't have to be the worlds savior.
I hope and pray the baby ids ok and is adopted by someone who can care for it.
Ok so I got on my soap box I'm just tried of paying for the rest of the world out of my pocket when I have a hard time paying my own bills. My kids when without a lot . But they always had food and shelter. I missed a lot of meals so they could eat.
Sorry Hate me if you want finally had enough of this kind of stuff getting so much sympathy I say be responsable for your self and children If they are disablited you choose to keep them.My parents adopted a challanged child so I know people wanting kids will adopt them. My own son has peoplems and I could have him the rest of my life but we chose to accet the reposabilty.
Not sure of your point here, but every Mexican I know works extremely hard for their $ doing jobs that Americans are too "good" to do. Most of us, myself included don't want to do the jobs that they are doing. I don't want to clean toilets. I don't want to work outside in 110 (F) weather for 14 hours a day and make a crap check to take home to try feed my family.

Are you a Native American? If not, then be glad your family wasn't told to stay in their country and make it better.

My only point was that Soooo many Mexicans haven't ever heard of school, much less college or sign language. They don't even know when they get here that their kids must attend school. Not all of Mexico is like that, but so much of it is. They don’t go to Doctors. They don’t go to the dentist. There’s NO SUCH THING AVAILABLE in most of the country.

I'm not excusing anyone here, just pointing out that if you don't know that there is even such a thing as sign language, how are you supposed to "be a good parent" and educate them? If you lived in the mountains, never came down to the big city ever and didn’t know that penicillin could save your child’s life, how are you supposed to heal them with it?

People don't adopt healthy children in Mexico, much less the disabled ones.
