A friend of mine and I were talking about this a few days ago, and she said that if she would divorce her husband, she'd place her kids for adoption if the judge does not give the custody to her husband. I'm not shocked nor I, feel weird about she saying this but it sure sounds like something you'd don't hear all the time.

Uh...I'm shocked too.

Don't know what else to say.

Wow! I'm really struggling not to be judgmental here.

That is the ultimate in selfish behavior. Wow...just wow!

SHE wouldn't want a single mother "stigma" so she'd give her kids up??? The fact that she sees that as the better choice is just unbelievable.

I could probably take a guess, but how old is this girl?

Looks like the husband would have a sound reason for divorcing her.

[she internalized an external stigma - pathetic]

Maybe she would give up her children because she knows that she would be a non-loving, selfish, and/or cruel mother to them.

If she was really considering giving them up to "avoid the stigma of being a single mother" I regret that the judge can not require that she have her tubes tied to prevent future pregnancies.

That is probably one of the most horrible things I've ever heard.

Single mother stigma? Maybe there should be a law where the father is tracked down and forced to marry the "single mother" _ They used to call that a shot gun wedding....maybe we are too nice these days...what ever happened to the father who would confront the guy and say "You knocked her up - now you marry her or BOOM...... seriously...society should never persecute a woman for having a child married or not...Having a baby is a blessed thing not a curse...time we gave mothers some respect...married or not...

Hopefully he will get started today.

That woman is an idiot and I feel so sorry for her children.
