NY Times Article this AM

Kudos to my real life friend KT who sent this to me. What a blessing it is to have friends that support one’s obsessions.

Ah…so even the NY Times sees a problem with the way things are done! Nice long article…quote Eric Smith!!

Interesting abut the national Proud Daddy bill. I didn’t know that one. Some one else to add to my send letters to list.
“Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Democrat of Louisiana, will address that problem in the Proud Father Act, which would create a national registry and is to be introduced in Congress later this year.”

The problem with a national punitive father’s registry os that is still only deals with one issue. Again, like plugging a whole in a dyke with one finger, a bandaid on the whole “problems with adoption” rhelm. And if these kinds of actions were made illegal by agencies, if they had to really honor father’s rights, then we would not need registries. It’s like going to the doctor with a brain tumor and they give you Tylenol for the headache, but leave in the tumor. Ok, now they see there is a real problem and give you Morphine, but they still don;t deal with the big, real issue.

A National Infant Adoption Reform Act would take care of this and more.

Uggg..my heart goes out to the dads that were screwed by the system. Lousy guilt to have to live with, knowing that you fed into this line of thinking and participated. Yeah, hand up there. Sadly, me too.

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.

    from what i understand, in Australia, both parents have to sign the consent to adoption. i wonder what is done in cases of raped. we should ask the group Origins Inc. about what is done down there.

    and yes, i’m certain that any adoption can wait so a DNA test can be done to deterimine the right father.
