Sigh. I know the sad, stupid purpose of the story which just
indicates a) how untalented so many of the writers are (ooh, kids are
too hard!) and b) how even a good writer sometimes suffers under an
editorial mandate, because BC's rationale to accept the proposal was
as sturdy as wet tissue.

Yeah, it's pretty cowardly to get rid of the kid. I really liked the
family dynamic depicted briefly with BC, GA, Sin and Speedy. Add in
Uncle Connor and they could have had a true superhero family with
modern issues: HIV-positive daughter, semi-estranged son, deadly
assassin tot - not to mention a commitment-phobe Dad with a wandering
eye and loose zipper. It could have been DC's answer to the
Incredibles or something. But, yeah, it would have required some
talent to pull it off.
