“this may seem true, but it is not. the love is a different love. there are all sorts of loves in life. those of a parent, a spouse and to children. a biological mothers love cannot be copied, only mimiced. “
Maybe it is true of people with whom you are acquainted, but I have seen biological moms who are not fit to raise a window shade, much less their own children. There is no concept of love in them, only control and intimidation, by alternately giving love effusively then withholding it. Theoretically what you say SHOULD be true, in the best of all worlds. In real life, however, the opposite is true all too often. pick up any newspaper to see that what I say is true. Biology does not automatically confer loving parent status on anyone. it should, but it doesn’t. I have to strongly, but respectfully disagree with your words.
