Pretty wild! All states give you at least 30 days to dump your baby, no strings attached. Some states give you 60 days!

I feel like more people should know about this! It seems like a highly under utilized ability.

    Because he didn’t do Jack raising them probably

    Would you have assumed the same lack of parenting if the father had died and the mother dropped off the kids?

      I don’t think there is enough background story to think the mother would have been a much better parent, giving up ALL children

        The fact that you can claim you need more information if it was a gender reversal, is exactly what they were pointing out.

          Not exactly. They’re basically saying that both genders would be bad parents by default for giving up all of their kids unless there was evidence of a compelling reason to think otherwise.
