REGARDING the dreadful case of the former Bromsgrove couple who killed that lovely little boy they supposedly adopted and now the true mother wishes she could turn the clock back.

Well, I am sorry, but what good is that now? That poor boy won't grow up and have a family of his own, due to these horrible people. Some don't deserve to be parents. There are true people out there who want to have children and can't. Our children, like our pets, are for 'life' not just for Christmas. It is our choice to bring them into our world.

Our son is still living at home at the age of 26, but we have a very clear conscience of being very good supportive parents, and you don't stop being a parent because they are older too. We had good parents also, and have carried on the tradition.
