Where is the line? And who is allowed to draw it? It seems particularly harsh that this little boy is being denied a loving family, and that the legal system had chosen to draw the line at the weight of this particular adoptive father.<br /> I find it particularly moronic for the fact that there are upwards of 500.000 children in foster-care at any given moment in this country, for the fact that this boy has a family who wants to make him their own, and for the fact that contrary to so many birth parents,this birthmother actually had a plan for her child and did not wait for the state of Missouri and its undoubtelby over-worked Social workers to add him to their never ending list-- sparing the child al sorts of misery.<br /> Well, common sense is a dying affliction these days. Sad story , I hope the dad looses the weight and will be deemed healthy enough to raise this boy. What a delicate situation. Where is the line? And who is allowed to draw it?

They should not have taken their son away because he has a weight problem. Maybe told him he has to lose weight or they will, but to take their son because of this it is ridiculous and I am outraged about it. I wish I could do something to help. I will be praying about this for sure. This is just ridiculous. They should not have taken their son away because he has a weight problem.
