I am glad for Imogen that she is being cared by a foster mother who really does care and can meet her needs in the way she and all other human beings no matter how needy deserve.
JH and her family would not have been able to do it. SO in that sense it was absolutely the right decision to give Imogen up.
It's just so hard to understand why JH persists in taking part in interviews unless she is hoping to publicize the lack of support for birth mothers and their families? Perhaps this is the reason?
Maybe JH is donating any money she earns from articles etc to charity or putting it towards Imogen's future care?
We don't know the details.
I do think the story she tells is an attempt to be honest but that it is misguided. She is deals with the most sensitive of issues in what appears a cavalier manner. It comes across as cold and uncaring. She of all people will probably know that she has crossed a line but may believe that she had to break this taboo subject wide open to create a debate and in this she has succeeded.
The fact is that our society doesn't value it's most needy members or their heroic carers and this is what should be brought out of the debate so that everyone struggling to care for their dds and dss get enough respite and support.
I know JH's story makes a lot of you angry and for good reason and I support you all in being angry. I hope it can be directed at the politicians and policy makers and that good can come out of it.
