Tanan as in tanan? Dapat siguro kadto ra adapon mga orphan. mga walay ginikanan jud. for the rest, ang tabang dapat is empower the mother how to be responsible.
street children, beggars. do you think makatabang sa ilaha ang hatagan nimog kwarta? it is just telling them that there's money in the streets and mas maenganyo na noon sila manglimos sa streets exposing them to all the dangers. tabang na?
ika nga nila, do not give them fish, teach them how to fish.
It says there that the Church are willing to adopt unwanted babies for those parent who can't take care of them. First, the word there is unwanted and can't take care. Both should be present.
It's not easy to give away a baby. If you were in your mother's shoes, you are carrying it for nine months niya imo ra ihatag? It should take a a good reason for such desperate measure. Let's say mga teenage girls who just got pregnant and does not want the baby. (What about the parents of the girl? I think ireconsider pud sa church to let the parents decide) or let's just say a mother of 5 is having her 6th nya pobre na kaayo siya. Now for me lang ha, I think they will have to undergo processes pud and some investigations to make them a valid applicant.
Second, dependence over this for me lang ha is unlikely kay it's like "sge okay ra kaayo magsgeg jerjer kay okay ra magcge ug panganak kay naa bitawy simbahan", pregnancy and labor is very risky plus expensive. It's a life changing event.
What i'm focusing is those who wants to abort their baby and for those who wants to give it away. I guess muhimo pud ug activities ang simbahan to make them realize if gusto bajud nila ihatag ang bata. We will never know this maybe a good way for the women to make them realize their blessings. basig ang ilang gipangita kay emotional and spiritual support or that they are not alone and we will know maybe by then they will learn to become responsible.
I don't know if this make sense to you but this is just my opinion. I guess for me it's better to hope for something than criticize something that's why positive akong nakita.
