It's grossly unfair to suggest that anyone who wonders how she is going to do this is spiteful or uncaring. She has no job, no obvious qualifications and nowhere of her own to live - of course she's done a great thing in adopting them but the facts of how she is going to support them financially need consideration and you have to be pretty well off to bring up 4...

If you read it, Bednobs you'll see why she can't work there any more and also that the children are fluent in English...and despite not being able to afford their international education she persuaded the school to let them continue their education....quite a mum, eh.... :-)
Yes, it's all very saintly and noble to adopt a brood of kids from an impoverished background and bring them back to the bottomless pit of money that is great Britain but just HOW far can our resources stretch? Where DO we draw the line?

Do we keep going until there are no resources left? Until we experience biblical-esque famine?

At what point do we STOP saying, "Sure, c'mon over, we'll see you right."?

Again, WHERE do we draw the line?

If you read it, Bednobs you'll see why she can't work there any more


What is the reason, gness?
ues, it would be good if someone could give me a precis - i got bored with the article part way through
BEDNOBS, she became the sole carer for the eldest one in 2011 and the Grandmother flew out in 2012.

Were you expecting her to drop everything and rush out straight away?
no, but she was fostering him since he was 1 - he is now 10, so the grandma waited 3 years (by my rough calcs) i tried to solier on with the article, but still cant see why she cant work - it says the political situation makes it difficult (but not impossible(?))
There are family members all over the world who've not seen each other for decades, so what?

Mebbes the gran wasn't fit to travel or couldn't afford it, I don't know and I don't see that it matters.
I confess I’m tired and perhaps missing something but apparently the political situation is making it difficult for westerners to find work. As I understand it her family been instrumental financially, but I can’t quite get the gist of what paid work she has been doing. Working in an orphanage has been mentioned, but was that voluntary or paid? All quite confused. I get the impression that she’s coming back to the UK because her family is no longer in a position to fund her.
that's a good point naomi, what HAS she been doing to support her family - it says at the beginning that her orphanage job was unpaid
That's how I understood it.
Yes, good point, naomi...why wasn't it made earlier?

/// we are abandoning all these children to their fate......you, me the Uk///

Why the UK, since when did children in Tanzania become the UKs problem, I cba to check but don't the UK dole out loads of Foreign Aid to some African Countries?
The link says that Ms Upshall worked "unpaid save for bed and board".
In summary it appears she doesn’t work for a living, her family is no longer able to fund her, and so she and her children are heading for the UK. Hmmm…..
