I'm about to vent a little bit, so forgive me.
This morning, I'm angry. I'm angry that Elizabeth took Gabriel away from his father. I'm angry that the Smith's say they love Gabriel and yet they tried to manipulate Logan into signing "adoption" papers. How is trying to take him away from his father doing what is best for Gabriel? How is that loving him? And what would they have said one day when Gabriel was older and wanted to know about his birth parents? Yes, your father wanted you, but we tricked him into giving you up because we felt we wanted you more? I mean, seriously. I'm angry that the Smith's refuse to take down the "daddy" caption on that picture of JS, HS, and Gabriel from Facebook. They have NO empathy or sympathy for what Gabriel's family is feeling right now.
I'm angry that if someone has Gabriel right now, they are telling themselves that they are doing the right thing by not coming forward. Telling themselves that Gabriel is better off with them, that it will all blow over and people will stop looking for him. That they love him more than anyone. But it's all lies. They aren't even thinking about Gabriel's best interest, or that he deserves and NEEDS to be with his blood family. Those people that sat in the dark with candle's lit last night, gathered in the name of love and hope, to pray that Gabriel is safe and healthy, and happy first and foremost, but only SECONDLY that he would come home where he belongs. These people deserve to see this baby take his first step, speak his first sentence, pop his first tooth, go to his first day at school.
I'm angry because I know that my own son, who is only 2 days older than Gabe, would be scared, confused, sad, and missing his parents were he with strangers. I'm angry because there is NO JUSTIFICATION for these people to think that they have any right to keep this baby boy. At this point, I don't even care if it's a couple who badly wants children, and can't have them. I honestly feel that they don't deserve children, if they can't put a child's needs before their own, if they can't put Gabriel's needs before their own. At this point, I feel that there is no difference between these people and a person who snatches a child right off the street. It's wrong, period.
IF SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS BABY GABRIEL, LOVE HIM ENOUGH TO LET HIM GO HOME TO HIS DADDY. STOP HURTING THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE GABRIEL, THE PEOPLE THAT GABRIEL LOVES.
I'm angry because Elizabeth might really have done something horrible to her own child. I'm angry that she's sitting in a jail cell with her mouth shut, and police are having to investigate 2 completely different stories that she gave about what happened to him. And all the while, he is either with people who obviously don't care enough about him to send him home to his daddy, where he belongs, where he would be happy and loved and safe, OR he is god knows where, waiting to be found so that he can finally rest in peace.
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND TELL THE TRUTH ELIZABETH, you selfish, heartless person.
:furious::furious::furious:
OK, sorry for that, I think I'm okay now.
ETA: I don't talk about this much, but I am the victim of a parental abduction when I was 5 years old. My father took my brother and I for 7 months. He had no job, no money and no way to care for us, he joined a singles group and lived off of 4 different women in that 7 months. They would realize he was a
and kick him out, he would move in with another one. He spent almost zero time with us. He didn't take us because he loved us, or thought it was best for us. He took us to hurt my mom, to make HIMSELF feel better. My mom missed seeing me start school, she missed my 6th birthday, she missed a lot in 7 months. My dad chose not to be in my life for years after he brought us home. I've recently been trying to work on a relationship with him for my son's sake. I'm only posting this to give insight as to how Gabriel might feel when he gets older if he is with some couple somewhere.
