One of the weirder headlines I've seen. I saw a story about this a few weeks ago too. I just think it's funny that the woman mentioned in this article is like "I had no other choice. Had to get rid of her!" when referring to her adopted daughter.

xxombie hurry up and move to Nebraska so you can be with your kind.

I don't see how you can abandon an 18 year old. They are not even yours to abandon at that point...

Hmmmm...I wonder... Could I put ads in the paper, "Parents! Accepting Bad Girls!. Had enough of the little darlin's? Send their pic & a resume of their abilities, habits & qualities. My little Safe Haven might be just the place to take them off your hands!" :D

yeah she wouldn't have been a minor anymore
That law makes no sense

had you read the article you'd have known how that came up,...

Nothing easier than a girl with father issues.

niiice

though I feel bad for the daughter

The woman said her daughter had been diagnosed with a mental illness when she was 12 and had deep psychological scars from childhood abuse and from being left alone with her dead biological mother for a week.

:(

I want to comfort her, holder and...;)

well be nice to her :)

At least we know there's no limit as to how many (http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/triage/2008/09/father-leaves-n.html)you can abandon at a time.

The most eye-popping case in Nebraska occurred Wednesday, when a 34-year-old father deposited nine children ages 1 to 17 at Creighton University Medical Center -- and then walked away.
