Who’s Afraid of Adoption? I am and with Good Reason!!

Be Afraid of Adoption.. very afraid!

I’m Afraid of Adoption Propaganda

So TownHall.com has a new post up called “Who’s Afraid of Adoption”.

I can’t read the whole article because I refuse to subscribe and pay money for this drivel, but what I see from the accompanying article is enough to let me know that this is a pro-adoption placed propaganda.

For one, they are getting information from Heroic Media which has already been identified as being in bed with BraveLove.org and Gladney Adoption Centers.  The market is closing. Adoption agencies  are losing money.  They need to  promote to new target markets to find more babies to place.

Afraid of Fake “News” Articles with Hidden Agendas

Anyway there is a GREAT  paragraph in the piece. They are, talking about abortion, but let’s just make it about adoption, shall we?

“Encouraging women to consider life-affirming options is not an easy task, however. Looking to fill their coffers, the billion-dollar abortion  adoption industry preys on the emotional vulnerability of women in crisis as a result of an unplanned pregnancy. They also offer a ‘quick fix,’ allowing the woman to regain control over her situation and purportedly resume life as normal.

But women are not informed of the very serious physical and psychological consequences of abortion adoption , and the adoption alternative is not promoted as the positive, life-affirming option contains lifelong loss, unresolved grief and sadness  for both mother and child.

The concept of a ‘choice’ is entirely specious, and the reason is simple: abortion  Adoption is big business.”

Really, its THAT interchangeable. So how could one be the “solution” for another? And don’t even get me started on how abortion and adoption are two separate decisions! Gonna beat my head against a wall now.

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.

    This one is interesting Claud. You make a good point by switching the word from abortion to adoption.

    Having experienced both, what I do know is that the abortion “industry” never seeked me out. I didn’t see billboards or magazine advertisements promoting their services with catchy lines or phrases. The abortion industry never tried to pump me up so they could take something away and profit from their procedure.

    It’s my experience that with abortion, my partner, family and/or friends suggested this option. Never… was I influenced by a Pro-Choice campaign or an industry promoting abortion. In fact, when I decided to cancel one of my abortions, the abortion clinic never tried to talk me into changing my mind or suggest to me that I would regret this new choice. They simply said, “Okay,” and wished me well.

    That’s the absolute truth. No kool-aid.

    • That’s an incredible way of looking at it. And yes, spot on. I never thought about the comparison in that way!
