Babies

Have you heard about the babies in India being thrown 50 feet off a building for GOOD LUCK?! They are caught in a sheet and the claim is that there has never been an "accident". I sure hope not!

If you don't read Blackfive, you missed the story about the newborn baby boy that was left at the gate of one of the American bases in a zip up bag recently.  He was a cute baby with a head full of hair! An Iraqi woman plans to adopt him.  Caused quite a bit of excitement after some soldiers watched a woman get out of a car and place the bag by the gate and drive off--they thought they might have a bomb!

Adoption isn't looked upon as a good thing and there are so many orphans there presently. Some women put pillows under their clothes and go to the doctor's office before they claim to have given birth!

There was a story about three sisters whose parents were killed in front of them and who are now in an orphanage. The older one took over and tried to take care of her sisters but when she reached a certain age, she had to go to another orphanage. Now at about 14, she has had 3 wedding proposals! She said she wanted to go to school and be an engineer like her father. I doubt she will have any say over her future.
