There are millions of couples out there who have trouble having kids and can't afford thing like IVF and adoptions. Additionally, there people like me who have to live with the high risk of every pregnancy ending in the death of our child. Then there are people who have no idea what kind of gift they have received and throw it away.
This hits home so hard for those of us who have had problems having kids - how can anyone do this? Why would anyone do this? Why not just give the baby for adoption to a family that can't have children of their own?
The article says she claims to had a miscarriage - however the infant found in the landfill was full term. She is also going to be charged:
She faces possible charges of neglect to obtain assistance at child birth, concealing the body of a child, infanticide and indignity to a dead body.
An autopsy will be performed to see if the baby was alive at birth
I can't speak for everyone - but I feel she deserves a much more serious charge than what she has been given. If the baby was found to be alive at birth - I hope the charge escalates to homicide.
RIP little guy - there are lots of people out there who would love you even if your own parents would not.
