I know this isn't the first time something like this has happened, but thankfully the woman & baby survived.

There was a similar case here in California 5 years ago where a aunt kidnapped and killed her pregnant niece and cut out her baby.I don't understand these women who do this....have a one night stand,adopt or get a foster child if you want a kid that bad. :evil: There must be a million children in the US that are looking for a good home.

Unfortunately, these adoption agencies are making it nearly impossible for people to get a kid. They make you jump through a million hoops and charge you a fortune to get one. And then they wonder why so many people get kids from China or Russia..

ostensibly it's for the kids' good. but what happens in the end is that you have to be rich to pass all those tests and screenings.
maybe in some cynical way that is the purpose - to see that the prospective parents have enough money :x

and like Ian said, what happens then is that people adopt children from 3rd world countries, and that's where it gets murky...shady adoption agencies/brokers, black-market trading of babies etc.

it's a sad world.

In a single word 'senseless'.
'Sick' is another way to describe it.

There are definitely some very crazy and sick people out there.
