Yeah, I read this, too. I was appalled to think that this poor young woman is
having her dirty linen aired because she is the daughter of a celebrity. I
beg all of you not to go there.
Among all Canadian rags, I hate the National Post. It's like the [American]
National Review, except stupider.
Kilauren Gibb is obviously enduring some tough times. So have we all: let's
let her deal with them in privacy and in her own time, the way we all did.
That said, I hate to emerge from lurkdom to say something which may be
construed as negative. Joni's giving up her daughter for adoption was
selfless and wise. Her wish to contact her daughter thirty years later was
understandable. Her claim that she now has a family complete with
grandchildren has always struck me as self-absorbed and fraught with
potential difficulty. When you give a child up to adoption, surely you yield
parenthood to the adoptive parents.
Yuck! I'm disgusting even myself - this is a private matter and should be
treated as such.
Ashamed of our Canadian media, and not for the first time,
Roberto
