I wonder who taught him to feel that way? (rhetorical question).<BR/><BR/>http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,695251648,00.html<BR/><BR/>I doubt that Deseret News will publish my comment, so here it is: <BR/><BR/>The perpetrators here are the child's natural mother and LDS Services, both of whom had agendas that motivated them to disregard the rights of the father in the first place. LDS was responsible for getting the father to sign off, but they flouted their responsibility.<BR/><BR/>The Nielsons are victims, but that does not give them the right to play God. Anyway, I assume God is not that self-serving.<BR/><BR/>If I were adopting a child, I would make very certain that BOTH parents had signed paperwork that terminated their rights to parenting the child. Otherwise, I could never live with myself or look that child in the eye without feeling like a kidnapper. <BR/><BR/>BOTH parents should have a say regarding what they feel is in their child's best interest - not just one of them. There is no doubt in my mind that both the mother and LDS Services have committed kidnapping. The former for egotistical reasons, the latter for financial gain. Both, perhaps, out of self-righteousness.<BR/><BR/>How would the Nielsons feel if someone were to come along and take "Harvey" without notification, having decided THEY were better suited to raise him, blatantly ignoring the courts?Lizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04974027388090405343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-58683831716069570112008-02-06T14:22:00.000-06:002008-02-06T14:22:00.000-06:00Biblical shit is one thing, Amy.

I will check my stash of Bible passages that indicate how UNChristian the theft of Matt's child is...and when I get them, you can bold them for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
