The Presentation of Open Adoption Information
I noticed most of the open adoption information is very general. Then I noticed the language that was being used – and it was manipulative. Lastly, I noticed how the information was being presented – and again, it was manipulative.

Day 5 of Adoption Activism; NAAM2013- Help Bring Hailey Home
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.
Open Adoption Success Stories

Day 2 of Adoption Activism; NAAM2013- The Proposed Adoption Bills in Michigan
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.
Two Extremes of Open Adoption
Here is what this open adoption looks like to the child who was adopted: My biological family was willing to go to extremes to make sure I went to an adopted family. If all of this support was there, why didn’t my biological family simply support my biological mom so she could keep me?

Introducing Open Adoption Stories
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.

Costs of Adoption: Genetic Mirroring
For those non adopted, it might seem easy to dismiss the importance of genetic mirroring since we do not have to think about it. It is just there. But it’s like saying that the air we breathe is not important because we don’t think about it and its just there. If we were to not have oxygen for even a few minutes, each and every one of us would be screaming to have it restored. Genetic mirroring is like that.
