The decision elated her supporters--among them the entire village of Elton, England, her hometown--and devastated Matthew's parents, Deborah and Sunil Eappen. On Friday, Deborah Eappen emerged from seclusion to speak to TIME's Terry McCarthy...

In truth, Eappen was hardly striving to become chief of surgery and mother of the year at the same time. To the contrary, she saw patients only three days a week and came home for lunch most days. To find day care, she went to E.F. Au Pair, one of only eight agencies licensed by the U.S. government to bring au pairs to this country.
