This is indeed an extremely sad story, which begs the question (once again) - why doesn't anyone think of the children? When relationships sour, adults need to act like adults and not use kids as pawns.
I'm sure that AOG acknowledges however, that this case statistically, must be extremely rare - compared with the number of children affected by the toxic fall out of the thousands of divorces that we see up and down the country every year.
Indeed, one could almost draw the conclusion that people will focus on this case as 'proof' that certain family set ups don't work. I would suggest that those people have an agenda (hidden or otherwise), that goes beyond their concern for the kids.
Perhaps the Coalition for Marriage could take a look at lobbying the government to repeal the 1969 Divorce Reform Act, which saw an explosion in the number of divorces in the UK?
That might be a start?

Absolutely not!
No, my point is that the Coalition For Marriage seem oddly quiet on the subject.
But then, looking back - I'm kinda hijacking this thread for my own unhidden agenda - which is basically me highlighting the hypocrisy of certain people shining the spotlight on the issues that might arise from one family set up, whilst conveniently ignoring the much greater societal problems encountered by vastly more numerous family set up.

I have a great deal of respect for couples who separate and are able to 'maintain their composure' for the sake of their children.
It's making the best of a bad situation...and too many ex-couples make the worst of a bad situation by forgetting what impact their animosity will have on their kids down the line.

What a sexist comment, and do women have the right to be a parent just because they produce the eggs, and I won't be as descriptive as Retrochic regarding where they may up.

I think the whole thing is simply the downside of being human - not daring to think what may happen months or years down the line.
If we all thought things through then we would never have children, take out loans or mortgages for the fear of what may go wrong.
I am sure it can work but think anonymous sperm donors are better for reducing the possibility of this happening.
