You can't compare Castro Valley with Menlo Park. Menlo Park is on the edge of Silicon Valley and hasRead More much more income per capita than Castro Valley could ever hope to have. Certainly the county is a lousy and unfair administrator, but we can at least afford them (somewhat). It is extremely unlikely that we could support a city unless you lie a lot about our finances like the incorporation proponents did during the last election.

Thank you for sharing this. I am moved by your courage to be honest with yourself about what youRead More want for your daughter and your willingness to give her up so she can have what she needs in this life. Also giving parents and opportunity to be parents who can't have kids of their own. This touches my heart. <3
