I bow to you HistoryofViolence. Two is plenty enough for me.
Booley: What gives you any indication of baby snatch? I know little about this case (and nothing about Sandra Bullock) but I know plenty about adoption. Forget what the media tells you (actually even they have quit spreading the lies) - it does not take that long to adopt most of the time. This is particularly true adopting a non-caucasion baby. You can often do it in a month or less if you are motivated.
True story - my wife and I had talked about adoption. She started doing some investigation and called some agencies. I was at work and she gave them my phone number for contact as she was a student. I get a phone call later that day saying they had a baby and we could pick her up in 48 hours if we submit to an emergency background check. Wow! Talk about not being ready! We almost did it, but we really just weren't prepared emotionally (we had only talked about adoption the night before). When we did finally turn in a final application we got our son in our home (as a newborn) 7 weeks later. Our daughter arrived 9 weeks after our second application.
Unless you know something about the Bullock case, stop with the baby snatching talk. There are LOTS of babies (particularly minority babies) out there that desperately need homes. Unfortunately, the media and public perception are completely inaccurate.
