My Question of the Day for 22 April 2010 With A Twist
My Question of the Day: The birth of a child is usually a joyous occasion no matter the circumstances of conception. New life is usually considered a welcomed miracle. Imagine a person with whom you’ve been friendly for many years has a baby. You don’t necessarily consider this person a close friend, but you have gotten to know a little about him/her over the years, and you’ve even spent a few hours here and there with this person. You’re happy for your acquaintance, and you send a gift for the baby and you include a card of congratulations for the new parent(s). A few days later, you get an email from your acquaintance asking you to be the godmother/father of his/her newborn. What do you do?

A few years later, your acquaintance and the other parent of the baby are killed in a car accident. You wonder what will become of their child, and a few days after the accident you find out. You are contacted by a lawyer who tells you that in their will the parent(s) have requested that you become the guardian of their child. What do you do?
