     >Children need families, not State appointed bureaucrats.
     Reluctantly, I have to agree, at least in part, with Papa Jack here. More substantiation of the argument is needed. But my understanding is that there are dysfunctional families out there; presumably, such a family will most likely be incapable of rationally making a decision regarding their daughter's future (and their grandfoetus, if I may coin a term).

     Somehow Dad cleared a space just big enough to house his daughter and grandfoetus for the next thousand kilometres or so, on our inland drive to Melbourne. Enough room to sit cross-legged, that is.

     @cathydalton so the two grandchildren we've lost to miscarriage were actually our grandfoetuses? Try to tell our kids that.

     When my mother learned that she would finally be realizing her dream of becoming a grandmother, her reaction was not unpredictable. A strategist to her core, she turned her laser focus and supertanker momentum towards every aspect of her grandfoetus’s future. Within a couple of days she knew the opening hours and Ofsted reports of all the nearest preschools; by the 20-week scan, she was arguing with her son-in-law about universities.
