I also suggested Heidi was biased, etc. etc. Well you can read it for yourself. <BR/><BR/>As I have said elsewhere, for years one side of the triangle has been the only side that was heard. Now that the other two sides are finding there voice, they aren't too happy. <BR/><BR/>Thank God for the internet and google alerts. <BR/><BR/>I don't always respond when I see these thing but I couldn't let that one go by, it was too offensive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-47373676907359416642008-11-13T14:03:00.000-02:002008-11-13T14:03:00.000-02:00A few comments on this:-she's a convert to Catholi...A few comments on this:<BR/><BR/>-she's a convert to Catholicism (I found this piece of info on another forum); the converts are typically the most self-righteous -it's as if they suddenly become God's chosen one to whom all knowledge in the universe has been gifted; <BR/><BR/>-she implies that all natural mothers and fathers were abusive or neglectful, and that is the source of any adoption related issues in the child;<BR/><BR/>-she feels it is perfectly reasonable for women to stay in their closet of shame FOR LIFE - too bad she doesn't understand that any reputable psych / counselor / priest will tell you that shaming oneself and holding onto secrets for an entire lifetime is severely emotionally and spiriturally damaging.maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-53831967158592050602008-11-13T13:47:00.000-02:002008-11-13T13:47:00.000-02:00Great post, Robin!

I especially wanted to thank you for this:<BR/><BR/>"They hear the voices of adoptees fighting the concept of being owned and not even allowed to make adult choices when they pass the age of consent."<BR/><BR/>Fighting the concept of being owned. Oh, how exactly you put it! Thank you for understanding how many of us adoptees feel, and for standing up to people like Ms. Saxton and her hate-mongering nonsense.Triona Guidryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969598333210972017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33752164.post-45642219321220883082008-11-13T13:32:00.000-02:002008-11-13T13:32:00.000-02:00We shall overcommmmmmeWe shall overcomesings Sandy...We shall overcommmmmme<BR/>We shall overcome<BR/>sings Sandy loudly, if slightly off key!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088288948654864117noreply@blogger.com
