Reply #62: Re; Baby Richard [View All]

His father married the mom, deliberately spent a huge amount of time ostentatiously bonding with Richard (apparently for the media exposure), then divorced the mom and dropped out of Richard's life.

Our judicial system allows for legal kidnapping of adopted children from their parents, because as far as the kids are concerned, the adopted parents ARE their parents. The biological parents are just strangers.

The fact that the biological fatehr is willing to put the child through this is evidence that he has no interest in the child's happiness. He thinks it is only about himself and what he wants. To him, the child is just a "possession."
