It's a long, slow process, but everyday I stumble across an anti-adoption agency blog or article (not necessarily outright anti-adoption, but the message is being heard). It's always particularly refreshing when the critcal view of adoption is offered by someone in human rights, feminism, etc. They are slowly starting to see the big picture (and the big dollars).<BR/><BR/>But on the otherhand, I'm still concerned about the pervasive "adoption is beautiful" mythology because it appears to heavily influence youngsters. I often read posts by young girls on Y!A (just entering teen years or verly early adulthood) who wax naively poetic about their desire to adopt. Why on earth would they even entertain the thought of adopting when they've never been pregnant or in a serious relationship? It's something that always catches me off guard. Adoption mythology is powerful.maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-40343184766176528122009-03-29T21:16:00.000-02:002009-03-29T21:16:00.000-02:00It used to be that if people couldn't have kids th...It used to be that if people couldn't have kids they let it go. A few adopted (like my parents and later my first mother and her husband--he also knocked up a neighbor), but most just got on with their lives. There wasn't the entitlement mentality there is today. <BR/><BR/>My first mom adopted 2 kids, not because she wanted to, but because "you" had to have kids to be respectable and belong. It was about female identity. Funny how that no longer holds true, but adoption has become an obsessive activity for what seems like half the country.Marley Greinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184124024369071862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-16438432520915109952009-03-29T19:47:00.000-02:002009-03-29T19:47:00.000-02:00BRAVO BRAVO Robin,I echo your every word,we mother...BRAVO BRAVO Robin,<BR/>I echo your every word,we mothers are still perceived as societies filth, and continued daily diet full of lying crap,and sickening propaganda spouted from the psuedo social wreckers.<BR/>Wow how they are beginning to quiver, as we mothers are armed now, thanks to brave women, that access bona fide social wrecker archives and expose their tirade of dirty tricks they have waged against us,we are so well equipped now ( I name Karen W.Buterbaugh, www.babyscoopera.com) ORIGINSNSW,also ORIGINS CANADA,ADOPTIONCROSSROADS, anybody that is not educated to the truth after reading that exposure, truly is a lost cause.<BR/>And you Robin, taking them on, HEAD ON, no quarter given, you command great respect from fellow mothers of loss,truly it was the rape of our soul, and the theft of our babies,sanctioned by the state.<BR/><BR/>Dont get me started on churches that buy and sell babies, and say it is in the name of Christianity--Here's what the bible calls them.<BR/> "THE MEN STEALERS".<BR/>They qualify their dishonest deeds by saying---NOT FOR PROFIT??? <BR/><BR/>THEY ARE A GENERATION OF VIPERS.<BR/><BR/> The FILTHY LUCRE THEY ACCRUE, for their plush offices, and houses, cars, boats and plane's, plush fancy church buildings,entertained by big bands,and<BR/> with orchestra's also fitted out with plush carpeting.<BR/>Within the church, counsellling suite's with "SO CALLED COUNSELLORS, FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN" with their EXORBITANT RATES they charge for counselling,THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN CHARLATAN'S OF THE HIGHEST ORDER.<BR/> TRULY A GENERATION OF VIPERS,<BR/> THE MANTLE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN WOULD NEVER DON THEIR BEING, AS THEY ARE SO TARNISHED BY THE FILTHY LUCRE, SWELLING THEIR BANK BOOKS,----LIKE THE RICH YOUNG RULER,BIBLICAL QUOTE,HE COULD NOT GIVE UP THE RICH LIFE,HE WENT TO HELL,WITH HEAVEN ON HIS MIND.

They lived with it and played the hand they were dealt. We nieces and nephews benefitted from their attention and guidance and they lived happy, productive lives, fulfilled lives. I learned a lot from them about acceptance and liking who you are. <BR/><BR/>I also don't quite see "by statute" as true reproduction. It's social engineering by legality and what the adopters receive into their homes is not a product of their genetics. God knows, though, that most of them will try to make it seem that way.<BR/><BR/>Reproduction is a natural process. Adoption is anything but natural.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580241881953821182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-73600782015462309912009-03-29T16:06:00.000-02:002009-03-29T16:06:00.000-02:00As a life-long child hater, I have never understoo...As a life-long child hater, I have never understood this need to reproduce biologically or through statute. Infertility is a gift that should be celebrated. It frees you for a happy life, not one full of stress and strife and mindless blather.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to see these jokers thrown in a Egyptian prison, but since we're dealing with a international situation it won't happen, probably It's not like they were smuggling heroin or something useful.Marley Greinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184124024369071862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-89854524467322090402009-03-28T19:41:00.000-02:002009-03-28T19:41:00.000-02:00Robin,No, money changed hands.

Sounds to me like the church has its hands dirty, along with adopters who just wanted a baby. oh, those poor things, they are great grandparents ages..hello.<BR/><BR/>Didn't they think that would be a red flag. <BR/><BR/>Oh, no they had papers..it was all legal, although adoption in Egypt is illegal! <BR/><BR/>I read the responses from the adoption lovers, those who know an adoptee, those who have adopted, those who know nothing but have pity for these poor adopters who broke the law. <BR/><BR/>Nothing for the babies, or the natural moms after all they are the incidentals when it comes to adoption.<BR/><BR/>gAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
