Your voice is powerful and heard by those...Robin, <br /><br />Your voice is powerful and heard by those who agree with <br />every word mothers who had our babies taken in Era of Mass Surrender. Those that want to silence you are those<br />who want to keep us silent after all it protects their faux<br />adoption world. Those that feel threatened are trying to deny <br />the reality of what happened to we mothers. Keep up the <br />great blog our truth may not be others truth especially those that were able to take advantage of our youth our<br />all but forgotten due processes. The right to legal representation the right to go before a judge. Even <br />criminals get their rights. We weren't criminals we were<br />young women who loved and lost. Taken advantage of by<br />those that could and should have protected the very basic<br />mother and child. Shame on everyone WHO took advantage of us that's who should hanging their heads<br />Instead of playing the card that we shouldn't have had <br />our babies or got pregnant.<br /><br />GaleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-50526614478212683602011-01-09T18:03:04.655-02:002011-01-09T18:03:04.655-02:00I am so surprised by those comments, maybe.

Why should a young unmarried, financially stressed woman have an abortion when there is always some career-minded gal who forgot to go off birth control until she was nearly middle-aged who would just love to raise the baby. Mr. Douthat wrote the article as if he was the first person to ever think up such a solution. Maybe he has never heard of the 1940s through the seventies.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-6582725244542512992011-01-09T14:36:09.342-02:002011-01-09T14:36:09.342-02:00Thanks for referring me to this, maybe.

It's nice to know that we are chipping away at the old way of thinking about mothers and their children.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580241881953821182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-6294084230180138752011-01-09T14:22:02.404-02:002011-01-09T14:22:02.404-02:00People are hearing your message, as evidenced in t...People are hearing your message, as evidenced in the comments to the recent column by Ross Douthat in the New York Times. The gist of his column was that it's too bad young women aren't giving up their babies for adoption as they did in the past. In his mind adoption is the solution for every challenge faced by women: single motherhood, abortion, infertility, blah, blah, blah. <br /><br />I expected the comments to turn into an adoption love-fest, but surpisingly they were heavily critical of his ideas. Many were disgusted by his suggestion that young women should give their babies to older/richer/married women, that this idea was exploitive of women with less power in our society. So the message is being heard, slowly but surely.maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-13650149180929315742011-01-09T12:48:27.166-02:002011-01-09T12:48:27.166-02:00I am glad there are people working for acknowledgm...I am glad there are people working for acknowledgment and a redress of the EMS. I am (was)a BSE baby and my n-mother never wanted to give me up for adoption for a moment. Nor did she have any "choice" in the matter. I don't think your efforts are in vain, they are very much appreciated :)Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-14843346353970845952011-01-09T03:31:22.329-02:002011-01-09T03:31:22.329-02:00Thank you so much for speaking out!

I have felt so honored over the past few years to learn more about the experiences of nmoms and make wonderful friends in the adoption community. And to try to find my own voice, as well.<br /><br />You are inspiring.ms. marginaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854609171313401651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-79516829645215678102011-01-08T22:29:11.985-02:002011-01-08T22:29:11.985-02:00@Von, I am sure that they also see a big, fat prof...@Von, I am sure that they also see a big, fat proftit to be made, too.<br /><br />Robin, I see you as one of my blessings, too.

Like the old afghan idea!sadly here in Oz it seems a new afghan is being knitted in the shape of The Babes Project, adoption based on the American way.They are pro-lifers who see adoption as a solution to fertility and a way to decrease abortion numbers.Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421069895155350144noreply@blogger.com
