Remembering abandoned children

The editorial "The Plight of `Border Babies'," is very informative. With so many other issues facing society today some of the less publicized ones seem to get lost. It is important to remember these children and to make society aware of the problem of abandoned babies. Not only is it sad for the abandoned children, but they cost the government millions of dollars that could be spent many other ways. Melody Dye, San Leandro, Calif.
