Motherhood

Re “A Costly Price of Early Feminism: Motherhood,” Commentary, May 14: Germaine Greer is still, I assume, a witty, intelligent woman. I would guess Charles Krauthammer and Joyce Purnick are also pretty bright. Haven’t any of them ever heard of adoption? There is no shortage of children all over the world who need a mother and/or father. It’s never too late--no child cares if his/her parent is 18 or 80-plus. A child only wants love and respect.

Greer, Krauthammer and Purnick need to get in touch with Sally Freeman (“She’s Been Called Mom by 270 Foster Children,” May 14), someone who really knows the meaning of parenting.
