Weird Synchronicty

Some years back I wrote a little essay for alt.adoption called “Lotto Tickets”, in which I decried the tendency of some prospective adoptive parents to “romance” prospective birthmothers with gifts and dinners and “emotional support” in the hopes of claiming their baby.  (I am actually working on revising the thing and should have it up here soon.)

So imagine my surprise when I saw this this headline from TheCabin.net:

LITTLE ROCK Attorney General Dustin McDaniel said Friday he’s confident a proposed constitutional amendment to create a state-run lottery and an initiated act banning unmarried couples from fostering or adopting children could survive any court challenges.

Well, I thought it was amusing.

Stumble it!
