ADOPTING COUPLE'S NEW BABY DELIVERED BY MIRACLE STORK by Fintan Dunne, 30 July, 2105   In a world-first, a Minnesota couple are now celebrating the arrival of a new-born baby girl --which came via a miraculous delivery by stork! The couple, Sarah and David Olson already had two children - but had been battling a harrowing secret ordeal. They always knew they wanted three children, but they lacked that third infant which would make their family "complete". The Olsens had been trying in vain to conceive for what must have seemed an interminable eight long months before eventually deciding to adopt while aboard Sarah's birthday gift flight to New York.  That decision was partly inspired by Sarah's sister - who had already taken delivery of a child she had ordered online via Amazon.com in an inter-country adoption from China.

  BABY HOMES REPORT IS A SICKENING WHITEWASH The official inquiry into Mother and Baby Homes  has absolved both the Church and State of any systemic responsibility  for what it admits is the effective incarceration of pregnant mothers. The report also  fails to find that mothers were coerced into giving up their children . It merely reports that "some" mothers 'claim' they did not properly consent. And the inquiry also seems to have made  no recommendation  of significant  redress  for affected mothers. Destroying a mothers life by forcibly removing her child is fine by the Commission. Most women gave up their baby voluntarily it insists! To plug that embarrassing hole the government says a 'restorative recognition' scheme with still-unspecified awards will be launched in a few months.
