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?
Adoption agencies want birthmothers and adoptive parents to see positive outcomes of open adoption. They do this is by highlighting open adoption success stories from “happy adoptees,” but are the stories honest?
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.
Please don’t allow the original purpose of “National Adoption Month” be upstaged by the people who profit from the sale of children. Approximately 100,000 kids who can’t return home need some one who really cares about what happens to them
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.
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?
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.
For National Adoption Awareness Month, here’s 30 days of adoption activist activities that you can do instead of just complaining about adoption! Spread Adoption Truths outside the walls of AdoptionLand!
A father shouldn’t have to fight strangers in curt for the right to parent his own child.The adoption “industry” has become expert at circumventing a father’s right to parent his own child.
It wasn’t fully diagnosed until he was 2, but his pediatrician heard his heart murmur soon after birth. It was hoped that it would clear up on its own as many babies have ventricular holes that do closed up, but his didn’t. So, we were referred to a pediatric cardiologist who did all the chest X-rays and EKGs and echo cardiograms. That’s how it was discovered that my oldest parented child was born with not three flaps on his aortic value, but two.
A Guest Post About Speaking Out on Adoption Truths: I speak out about adoption, not because of ‘poor me’, but to bring awareness of what is happening in the world with hopes that unethical practices will end.
There will be no memories of perfect pumpkin days with my oldest son. Yes, I am sure his parents are great and he has the proper days in his past, and if I am lucky, maybe someday I will get to see the pictures. ( I have never seen the pictures)
