Parents Abandon Newborn Twin Girls
Posted by Cottontimer on 29 May 2008 | Tagged as: What the @#!
This can’t be real.
A BRITISH couple abandoned their newborn IVF girl twins at a hospital – because they wanted boys.
The mum aged 59 and dad, 72, conceived in India with fertility treatment and returned to England for the birth.
They told horrified medics they did not want the “wrong sex” babies immediately after the Caesarean section in Wolverhampton.

Somebody tell me this is a hoax.

Whiskey Tang Foxtrot!!!!
Okay, key right there is that they do not love children, but at least they let them live instead of aborting them early on.
OMG! I am sitting here with my mouth hanging open. There is something seriously wrong in a world where this kind of thing can happen!!!
I think I am more horrified that someone was irresponsible enough to give them IVF. I suspect that if they are that selfish to abandon their twins then someone else will probably parent them better, someone who chooses to have them and love them. Also, someone who might live long enough to see them to adulthood!
It’s an article in The Sun. Isn’t that a tabloid? Unless the BBC picks it up, I wouldn’t worry too much.
But if it is true, it’s appalling.
The more reputable Times UK says that the twins and their elderly parents do exist but that the babies weren’t abandoned….
Okay, since they weren’t abandoned, I’m still horrified that someone that old was given IVF at all, not to mention astonished that she was able to maintain a pregnancy at 59! Yikes.
