I think adoption is a wonderful thing. Someone can be saved and have a wonderful life getting adopted. Like the asian girls they arent wanted and get thrown in the street but if someone adopts her she can have a good chance. People who cant have kids can always adopt also... I know that i will for sure.... one day.
i was just asking on a lighthearted note. i was adopted when i was 4, and though they treated me good as a child, they totally ganged up on me while i was growing up. i feel i have a lack of family connection, and it's thrown me in and out of depression for years. anybody out there looking to adopt, please don't do it for selfish reasons. love, amanda
Thats wonderful. I know so many people that have been adopted. I think its a wonderful thing and it gives innocent kids a chance at something..
I gave up my only son for adoption in 1971 - I found him in 1993 - in Folsom Prison for manslaughter. He was serving an 8 year sentence. I wish I'd had never have given him up. And yes, I know that most people say to birthmothers "Oh, what a wonderful and selfless thing you have done...." blah blah blah. I'm so tired of hearing that. My instinct was to KEEP him. But being the times it was, I was highly pressured to give him up by my parents who offered NO support whatsoever should I keep him. Oh, they gave me the 'option', but said "You have to finish school, you have to have a job to support him, and we won't babysit'. So, basically I was scared straight into not keeping him because my entire world would fall apart. I'm sure there are some stories we don't want to know about in regards to the adoption system (talking the legal system here). Mine 'went well' and it's enough of a horror story as is. Sorry to rant, this post hit a bone today.
only conspiracies i can thing of is adopting rondom younglings and training them to be professional killers. spartan style
that was kind of cold styve. like i said, i was adopted, and when i gave birth, at four day's old my baby girl was taken from me, and it tore my whole world apart. it was like they took a peice of from my heart and fed it to the dogs. they did ask me if i knew of anyone that would take her, and thankfully, my adoptive parents did, though i don't agree in any shape or form on the "values" they are instilling in her, i am happy i get to see her once and a while. however, in the first year of her life when i was fighting for custody of her, about the time that it was all over and it was clear i was going to lose because of my financial situation, my parents told me that they were going to raise her to believe that they are her natural parents. they said though that when she is old enough to understand they will tell her who her real mom is. i didn't understand, or cared to know their reason for doing this, but this also tore my world apart. first you take my kid then my title as a mother? the only thing i can do now is be there for her, and hope someday she will forgive all the unfairness in this world. she will i'm sure... it's the uncertainty of it all that i'm still getting used to. i miss her.
rule of thumb.. if it has anything to do w/the gov't, there is a conspiracy out there. often for good reason, in my opinion.
