Reading responce for Memento

After reading the memento, I was a little taking back. What I read was very sad and depressing. The though of children being given away in large amounts, blew my mine. Children are so precious, and even in today's society unwanted children are better taken care of then in this story. My mine could not even fathom the fact that people would drop there children off and then decide years down the road that they actually want them, so they just have to go retrieve them. The entire story just did not sit well with me, and it let my daydreaming about how those poor children must have felt during those times.
