Actually, I think the exact OPPOSITE is the case. Frankly, this woman was desperate for a child, something I cannot blame ANY woman or man for.... though I am a little puzzled as to why she didn't just have a one night stand, get pregnant, and have a child of her own.

This could have been avoided if we would stop telling women and girls that it is 'wrong' to have children outside of marriage, yet it is 'right' to adopt children who have been born outside of marriage.

Her slashing the mothers throat could have been avoided if society had encouraged her to get pregnant out of wedlock? LOL.

It's complex this wanting a baby, not being able to have a baby, and HURTING A PREGNANT WOMAN to get HER baby.....right off the bat, to me, this "wannabe mom," has head trips that won't get her beyond a few days of being with the baby. She'd only give the kid head problems, not at all addressing the real mom's anguish, and the real dad's anguish on losing the child. I saw a special recently on this subject and it is a mental illness. Most childless woman (not by choice) learn to accept that awful hurt, those others, hurt others to get a child, that they aren't emotionally equipped to raise. Sad.

Absolutely NO sympathy for this twisted woman.
She knew what she doing was wrong & I hope she gets the maximum. She doesn't even deserve a doll.
