I can't imagine having to make that decision. <br />It can be hard enough to get by these days without being that disconnected from close family.<br />Count our blessings indeed.

Yes, they left their child back there with his grandparents until he is old enough to go to school because they couldn't afford childcare. I know, it's very difficult to comprehend; I keep trying to put myself in their shoes. <br /><br />Empress: You're right, we're extremely blessed to never have to experience such an ordeal. <br /><br />Allison: It is so very heartbreaking that they originally came here for a better life. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be for the women looking after other people's children when they can't even come home to see their own.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02119087149620456863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797036199763202415.post-30630493849276784962010-10-18T20:10:38.914-04:002010-10-18T20:10:38.914-04:00Well clearly it's not England because she bare...Well clearly it's not England because she barely speaks English. And presumably they left their home country for better opportunities. I knew quite a few Filipina nannies who looked after people's children here while their own children were back home with their parents. It's heartbreaking. I wish there was a better way.Bibliomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825424183978181238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797036199763202415.post-34912548602560938572010-10-18T17:08:49.429-04:002010-10-18T17:08:49.429-04:00You know, it's hard to think straight when you...You know, it's hard to think straight when you;re in a crisis.

And then traumatize the child when she, a stranger, comes to take him to another country when he's 5? <br /><br />Why wouldn't she stay with the baby in England or wherever they are?<br /><br />I'm all kinds of confused.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14025221975648580117noreply@blogger.com
