A mother-father family is the best environment for a child. Narcissism does seem to be what's driving a lot of similar pregnancies/adoptions.

But why take it out on the kid?

By all means, help.

I have an ex- GF who, as a single mom, adopted two older Russian orphans a year and a half ago, and I try to involve myself in activities with them as much as I can. It's healthier for the kids to see even an occasional male role than to be only with mom, IMHO.

Agreed and its good that you are involved, if only to give them some male role models in their lives.

Do not really agree with her reasoning on this but would rather see a man in her life full time before doing something like this.
