Papa. I want you to know that I think of you everyday and I love you with all of my heart and always will. I wish I could see you and hold your hand during all of this. One of the songs that has always reminded me of you is Bob Dylan's "You're a Big Girl Now." Have a listen and give me a call in Italy. 00393480677606. - American Pie Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:23:28 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-11349 This should have been a private family matter, not a chance to see your name in the paper. Shame on you. - American Pie Tue, 24 Mar 2009 04:52:58 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10100 \"I do hope all turns out well for all concerned but do wonder why people insist on adding people to the planet that they don\'t want while there are plenty of kids waiting to be adopted (who generally have the misfortune of being non white).\" I saw the look on her face when she looked into her son\'s eyes. There isn\'t a single fiber of this young mother\'s being that didn\'t want this precious babe. The love that only a mother can have for her child was right there in her beautiful eyes. A love so completely pure and unselfish that she was willing to give her own heart away, to someone else to raise, so that he could have every opportunity in life that he deserves......opportunities that would be nearly impossible for such young parents to give him. I\'ve never met a baby more loved than Seth. He has two families that adore him.....that can love him, without fighting over him. - UpInArms Wed, 07 Jan 2009 18:44:31 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10099 Actually, your reading between the lines has failed. I am Aria Tompkins-Bischel, birth mother of Seth Ari, and all of the things mentioned by my mother in this letter were not her decisions. It was very important to ME that my child would not be pumped up with toxins, and very important to ME that he would not be tortured, for no reason, by being circumcised. Also, to the first comment, I was on birth control, so there goes your moral. I\'m proud of my "weirdo-ness," and Todd and Betsy are not afraid of it. - Aria Wed, 07 Jan 2009 16:31:17 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10087 Just because someone disagrees with your views does not make them haters. Your views and opinions are not proven and as such are considered just that. To put your business on the WWW and then become insulted when some do not agree is sad. Also I think the use of your daughter to promote YOUR ideas is selfish. Reading between the lines it is evident that you not your daughter made the decisions here. Please do not quote religion as I am sure you are far from perfect, as am I. Simple views from different opinions (solicited) do not make for name calling. - think Tue, 06 Jan 2009 08:21:21 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10083 We shared this story about our family\'s experience in order to celebrate a brand new life, and to illustrate the promise of healing coming from pain. The last thing we anticipated was to receive a barrage of unkind and insensitive insults! If you are concerned about our daughter\'s medical decisions for her child, so be it (do some research and you might feel better about it.) These details were included to show that it is possible to find just the right adoptive parents to match the things that you find important. Some birth mothers might want to choose only vegan parents, or Catholic, or wealthy, or Green, or Republican, or totally vaccinated, etc. The main thing is not to think that an adoption means your child will be raised without regard for your values/concerns. Especially with an open adoption, it\'s important for the involved families to be on the same page with one another, since they will have a lifetime relationship with the child at the center. Don\'t let the details you disagree with cloud the beautiful, yes, very beautiful little mistake who came into our world last month. We, like the Sarah Palin family, are proud of our daughter\'s choice for life. We will always be in awe of her even greater sacrifice of being able to give up her own child. This precious little one will be raised by a mature, educated, responsible, married couple. If our letter offended any of the perfect people of Lake County, our sincere apologies. God bless you in your perfection. \"Let him without sin cast the first stone.\" Jesus of Nazareth - Compassion Mon, 05 Jan 2009 20:29:15 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10082 Your kids don\'t need to be immunized to go to school. You just sign a waiver saying it\'s against your beliefs. 8% of the kids in lake county attend school without vaccines... Ode to National Infant Immunization Week: Stick It By Ana Phylaxis I actually don’t mind green eggs and ham. It’s vaccines I don’t like, Uncle Sam. Too many children have paid the price for harmful and deceptive immunization advice. There is more to health than preventing infections with dozens of toxic and dangerous injections. You purposefully ignore all of the parents’ cries that autism, asthma and diabetes continue to rise. Since the word “safe” implies “free from harm”, I’ll choose what’s injected into my child’s arm. I do not want them up my nose, or spliced into my potatoes. I will not drink them in a glass. I will not let you stick my ass. I do not want them for any reason; not even in your “worst” flu season. For decades now you’ve been trying to hide, the dangers of mercury and formaldehyde. You won’t do the research to try to explain why vaccines sometime ruin a developing brain. Yet you tell us to just say no to drugs, but if we question a shot you act like thugs. Are injected monkey and fetal cells really healthy? Or are they part of the scam that makes drug companies wealthy? When you ‘all lay down tonight to say your prayers, please include all the vaccine victims listed in VAERs.

Coming from the parents I guess we now can understand how and why this child got pregnant. Also vaccinating your child is considered protecting them. Run is exactly right. I feel for the adoptive parents. - think Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:21:46 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10041 autism - hell if I know. But having grown up when whooping cough and polio were not unusual I seriously question that approach. And the rate CA is going with the budgetary process ALL kids may be homeschooled before to long. - Donna Christopher Sun, 04 Jan 2009 11:03:45 +0100 http://lakeconews.com/content/view/6844/927/#comment-10038 run for your life kid, before any of the weirdo-ness rubs-off! Unvaccinated means homeschooled, which means about a 25% chance of turning out normal right there. Uncircumcised means higher risk of STDs, the logic here is what exactly? I do hope all turns out well for all concerned but do wonder why people insist on adding people to the planet that they don\'t want while there are plenty of kids waiting to be adopted (who generally have the misfortune of being non white). Guess the moral here is use birth control if you are going to pretend to be a grown up, kind of wonder how that concept got lost in the parenting process. - smurf Sun, 04 Jan 2009 10:20:15 +0100
