Well, I think it's better that it be up to the people involved, rather than
some strange bystander (you), to determine what a "better" family is. Some
people think that a religious family would be an important ingrediant in "good"
or "better" but I don't. So if I were to give/sell a baby, I wouldn't want
those other people applying their philosophy to my life.
You and I don't know what the embezzlement charge is or even if it is
completely made up. But (I guess unlike you) I trust people to use their sense
and wisdom every day.
