That was the way I read the post as well. However with regard to adoption, this country has what may well be the most screwed up adoption laws in the world. Imagine that you adopt a child, nurture it and love it for 12 months, then the natural father comes along and demands the child. Had that sort of thing been allowed in Canada and had it happened I don't know what I would have done. You might as well cut open a person's chest and tear their heart out.

And it has happened here, I don't doubt but what the natural father's intent was extortion.
