SSSusan:
"But to call what she did at the orphanage "an act of utter selfishness"?  I 
can't go that far.  She had been left by Tom, she was flat broke, she had no 
family she could turn to for help, and no assets left.  Did you not feel 
despair in what she did? desperation? depression? <snip>"


BAW:
She could at least have left him at a WIZARDLING orphanage; I'm sure they 
exist. (We don't know that they do, but we don't know that they don't, and 
every society must make SOME provision for babies and children whose parents 
can't or won't properly care for them.)
