‘lopsided’ or ‘half adopted.’
At least one uses the term
‘kinship slave.’”
The report continues:
“Adults who support the
use of new technologies to
bear children sometimes say
that biology does not matter
to children, that all children
need is a loving family. Yet
biology clearly matters to
the adults who sometimes go
to extreme lengths to create
a child genetically related
to at least one of them. In a
striking contradiction, these
same people will often insist
that the child’s biological
relationship to an absent
donor father or mother
should not really matter to
the child.”
A compassionate and just
society should come to the
aid of a fatherless or moth
erless child, not intention
ally create a fatherless or
motherless child. But that is
what is happening in these
situations.
In a vacuum, these new

service” that Pet Plantation
has been providing for true
animal lovers for the past
three and a half years.

In other business the
city also approved two util
ity construction projects.
One for $8,600 is to run
a temporary water line to
the Houston County water
tower so maintenance can
be done to the tower. The
city will also pay $78,200
to connect sewer lines in
the area of Russell Parkway,
Carl Vinson Parkway and
Houston Lake Road. Flint
Energies will do much of the
work, as it will connect its
property - including its store
and the new customer ser
vice facility being built - at
the intersection. The shop
ping center and gas station
north of Russell Parkway
will also be connected to the
sewer line.
The council also approved
a natural gas contract
between the city and
Robins Air Force Base from
December through March.
City Comptroller Bill Harte

seem OK to some. After all,
the desire to be a parent is
an innate and deep desire
- not only for the natural,
instinctual longing to procre
ate, but also to see ourselves
reflected in a child. But that
longing does not justify a
“by any means necessary”
solution to meet it.
Some might suggest that
this whole discussion would
seem to cast a negative light
on the whole issue of adop
tion.
But adoption is a differ
ent idea. It is taking and
caring for a child that has
already entered the world,
and attempting to mitigate
circumstances that could
otherwise prove harmful; it
is not bringing a child into
this world to fulfill our per
sonal agendas.
We all say that children
are resilient, but we cannot
assume our decisions will
not adversely affect them.
We don’t need to cater to
our kids every desire; but we
should consider their needs
beyond the sphere of what
we want.
Next week I will continue
this discussion with a deeper
look at the attack on the
mother-father parenthood
model.
