I feel COMPLETELY different when it comes to adoption. With abortion, I trust a women to know what she wants and exercise her right to make an informed choice. With adoption, I feel like she has no clue, cannot know what she wants and is not making an informed choice. This has plagued me. Why are my feelings different?
Ohio’s Adoptee Rights bill SB-23 was held over as the Senate finished its difficult work on the massive state budget bill. Help the OHIO ROAR leadership team get the support going!
Increasing adoption awareness does not decrease abortions. The alternative to abortion is giving birth. The alternative to adoption is actually parenting your own child. Separate events at separate times even if in the same pregnancy. It’s NOT the “Price is Right” Pregnancy Door Game. The decisions made when facing an unplanned pregnancy do not happen at once and suddenly face three doors to go through parenting, adoption or abortion.

Even though Paul Fronczak is not really an adoptee, his quest to find out who he really is has been a way to bring that natural need to the forefront on ABC’s 20/20, so let’s talk about Adoptee Rights issues!
Notify the members of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption, especially your own Representatives and Senators who are members of the Coalition, that you are outraged that their “institute” has endorsed this horrendous CHIFF bill.
Hailey was given up for adoption at birth without her father’s consent. Her father, Anthony, has been fighting for her even before her birth.This illegal and unethical adoption involves an unethical adoption attempt that was taken to the California Appellate Court. The adoption bid failed with the April 2012 Appeals Court decision – Anthony’s daughter is not even eligible for adoption. Yet, Hailey is still stuck in the failed PAP’s possession as the Guardianship case drags on indefinitely.
Perhaps it is not just generic “birthmother” privacy but a “special” group of birthmothers who need special privacy??Is Gov Christie hiding the Catholic Churches secrets? Like maybe it is true that there was a maternity home for pregnant nuns that was run in Cape May New Jersey? Maybe the Catholic Church sent the all knocked up nuns from all over the country to this special Cape May Catholic Nun Maternity home?
Vote for Adoptees like James Lane in NY on Election Day Tomorrow or like Matt Lundy for Mayor of Traverse City, Michigan!
The intent behind “protecting” a person from the ugly or not so ugly truth about one’s self might be begun as a kindness, but it is still a lie. So even if you love the person you wish to protect, you are betraying their trust and making a decisions for them based on your feelings, not theirs. You are not trusting them enough with knowledge that is theirs, not yours, to withhold. Truth is truth and no amount of wishing can change that.
Two Adoption Petitions. As they are both on Change.org you can sign in with Facebook and spam everyone you know. I do it often. It’s fun. You could first post on Facebook that people better sign them or you will start spamming the crap out of them. I do that too. It works.
OMG Michigan We are Not Idiots! The simple fact that a mother or father has no real right to revoke their consent to adoption is complete and utter bull crap and saying that this joke of a bill somehow “strengthens the rights of birthmothers is so insane and so convoluted that I can barley type because all I can do is sputter in disbelief and disdain.
I am working on a slide show and power point presentation on the history of lies and corruption in adoption. one of the sections includes lies surrounding our adoptions. I would like to show the photo of the person along with 3 or 4 sentences describing the lies, corruption, or deceit.
With the start of the 2013 National Adoption Awareness Month, I can think of nothing more fitting that to say yes, let us become aware of what adoption means the children that have grown up in adoption; closed adoptions, opens adoptions, needed adoptions, forced adoptions, discriminated, denied, reunioned, rejected, rejoiced, wounded or foggy; let us be aware of their truth, their adoption stories, for that is what we must judge adoption by.
