It sounds as if you have not read the article or the list of places Ms Pinola points to. Yes, there are some nasty places in the world (CTU, I am looking at you!) but this list appears to be full of regular places with REAL accreditations, not ones they made up so they could say they are accredited.

it wasnt long ago homosexuality was considered mental illness so its ironic you regard the dsm as a bible of sorts.

That was my take on it - maybe the mother is very religious and somehow this made it a little easier for her to do what she felt she had to do. Bless her for not leaving him somewhere to die.

Why are we mocking two parents who decided to call it quits but are rising above being petty in favor of being friendly? My parents divorced when I was 2, and though I know it was difficult, both my parents are friends. I don’t think two people should stay together for the sake of their kids, but if they really want…

There were people at the church. It wouldn’t go unnoticed for long, and waiting a few extra minutes for a diaper change won’t kill the damn thing.

UNFOLLOW. ;)

It’s not like we’re talking about someone talking on a cell phone in a car. We’re talking about someone in a desperate frame of mind getting the law mostly right. There is a reason law enforcement isn’t looking to prosecute here- what good could that possibly do?

Rule of thumb is no more than 4 hours between feedings. At 5 hours old, this baby was at slight risk for dehydration. Nutrition isn’t the issue since breast milk doesn’t come in for 3-4 days until after birth.

No.

where they ever any good, besides being elevator music??

Oh Snap. Seamster rock star REPRAZENT.

Whole point of safe haven laws is that new parents who don’t want to be new parents sometimes make deeply terrible decisions.

That and his mad sewing skills. He made those military jackets they were sporting circa Viva La Vida. Sew on, Chris Martin, sew on.

I can’t wait to hate that album.

I think a lot of people have unresolved issues when it it comes to divorce - so even an angelic zen puppy doing everything right would likely still get a lot of derision from people’s projections and lingering disappointment.

Obvi - they didn’t do everything right (as no one does) - but it does seem cool that they…

Sorry, gang, my fault. I sarcastically asked if Coldplay could get any worse on this album and the universe obviously took it as a challenge. Oops.

I don’t think you’re crazy. I get that people find it insufferable and I understand why. But I think they were just trying to give a name to a process they wanted to make as respectful as possible, especially because of the kids involved. I like it.

Soooo, I get the ridicule and everything, but somehow I don’t find the term “conscious uncoupling” so bad. Am I a bad person? Did I do sth wrong in my life? Because I actually believe it’s a pretty accurate term for what many people are trying to do during a breakup in this day and age. Meh, maybe I’m just crazy...

Honestly why would this obviously frightened women want to have any contact with staff inside a hospital, firehouse etc...and leaving a newborn OUTSIDE of those buildings is surely less appealing then putting said newborn inside a manger which may have looked more inviting and safe from her perspective.

Boom goes the dynamite.
