South Dakota Adoption Services - 2007 *GRAPHIC*

copyright 2007

PLEASE ADOPT THESE CHILDREN



This baby was born to an Iraqi war veteran exposed to depleted uranium. Parents are unable to provide adequate care for the child, because the Veteran's administration does not recognize the severe defect as combat-related and has refused additional benefits. We know there's a family out there for this child and several others in need.



This fetus was diagnosed at 12 weeks with trisomy 18 — Children with this condition have multiple malformations and mental retardation due to the extra chromosome #18. Some of the problems include: low birth weight, small head, small jaw, malformations of the heart and kidneys, clenched fists with abnormal finger positioning, and malformed feet. The mental retardation is severe. Ninety five percent of children with this condition die before their first birthday.

The mother is a 13-year-old victim of incest. South Dakota Adoption Services is looking for a patient and resourceful family who can give this child constant care when it is born.




Looking for a loving home. Race unimportant. This baby was born to a drug-addicted mother currently serving a 10-year sentence on a first-time drug offense.

3. Adopt? But..., but..., but...
These are not healthy blue eyed white babies. :sarcasm:
So let's not help them or their care givers so we can forget about them and move on to more important things like killing brown people for their resources. :mad:

4. Peter Singer has a more sensible solution.

But in the meantime, here's mine: draw up a list of the most vocal anti-choice campaigners and distribute such children among them, matching shrillness of campaigner to degree of disability of the child.

5. Oh come on
you know the right to lifers could care less about anyone after they're born.

Down here in FL, we have those Right to Life auto tags, and when I see them on their big fat SUV's I have to control my urge to run them off the road. They are the worst of the worst.

6. Gee, I wonder if the righties would be upset if a loving couple who
just happened to be gay would take this poor child off the SD/Federal taxpayer "dole" . . .
