I should also recommend the rest of the articles and essays on No Longer Qivering. I had no idea that there was such a thing as "spiritual abuse" until I started reading that. I'm wondering if I really really want to read "To Train Up a Child" because it sounds creepy.
I so have to go look up that Children Underground. I'd heard about how Romania outlaws birth control and abortion, and had a ton of orphanages. When communism fell, all those orphanages had their doors 'opened'. I remember seeing stuff about them on 20/20 and Frontline (was Frontline around back then?) but a good google search might turn up the early links.
I think most of those kids were born because every woman was *required* to have 5 kids for the state. So they were just given up to the state by the mothers.
PS... hope y'all start feeling better soon. Being sick is no fun.
