Birth Mother Experiences in Adoption Relinquishment; Journalist Inquiry

I have been speaking at length this past week with a very well established journalist how is looking into the experiences of mothers relinquishing their newborns to adoption through voluntary domestic placement. Based on the conversations, I am confident that this request for specific stories and experiences is not only very legitimate, but will result in a very informative piece on ethics. This author is specifically looking into the role that first family finance’s, or lack there of, contribute to acts of coercion in domestic infant adoption placements.

Musings of the Lame was started in 2005 primarily as a simple blog recording the feelings of a birthmother as she struggled to understand how the act of relinquishing her first newborn so to adoption in 1987 continued to be a major force in her life. Built from the knowledge gained in the adoption community, it records the search for her son and the adoption reunion as it happened. Since then, it has grown as an adoption forum encompassing the complexity of the adoption industry, the fight to free her sons adoption records and the need for Adoptee Rights, and a growing community of other birthmothers, adoptive parents and adopted persons who are able to see that so much what we want to believe about adoption is wrong.
