NAAM Day 9: A Brief Memoir: Bill Pierce, Me, and AdoptaTalk with God
One day he told me that he was ready to die more or less, and couldn’t wait to get to heaven “so I can talk to God about adoption for eternity.” Continue Reading →

I was unaware that Trump has promised “free universal IVF treatments.” I do remember, however, his claim to be the “Father of IVF” which brings up the disturbing image of him whacking off into a kinky glass tube (or a sock) to pictures of Alina Habba or Laura Loomer. Continue Reading →
Yes, you heard that right folks. Teen births are a good thing. The more we have, the better off we’ll be…But we have a new brand of politician who in a whole new way, exploits teen pregnancy and birth for the most insidious of reasons: the amount of dollars they putatively generate for the state.

Although “The Barbarians are Coming” takes place in ancient Rome, it is a timely narrative of our own dysfunctional stagnant government, of our own politicians, their hanger-on, and our legacy media, where wealth, spectacle, special interests, favoritism, and cruelty trump (excuse me!) humanity, compassion, reason, kindness, and ethics. “Ithaca” takes us on a meaningful journey to a kinder ending.

It’s difficult to say exactly when without a lot of research, but at some point, NAM was co-opted and hijacked by NAAM, the hellspawn of the adoption industry that promotes adoptacratic entrepreneurship and toots its industrial- strength horn. Continue Reading →

According to the Houston Chronicle, several months ago a pregnant Juniper Bryson, 21, attempted to sell her up-and-coming-baby for $150, allegedly to keep him out of fostercare. This paltry amount, she said would enable her to “move into an apartment so I can work a job and get (my daughter) back, or a cheap down payment, or [sic] any car to get to different places to DoorDash. Nothing crazy at all,” Even though the baby was due in a few days, she said she was willing to travel to meet potential adopters. Continue Reading →
It seems like only yesterday that we put this baby to bed, and already it’s National Adoption Awareness Month (NAAM) again. In the past, I’ve included the additional/redundant name National Adoption Month (NAM), but I’ve pretty much scrapped that one. Whatever it’s called, it’s that very special month when the adoption industry cranks its noisemakers and marches its brass band across the country to share the good news of family displacement, identity erasure, and kicking adopted people to the curb.

I hope this is a sign that Class Bastard is being treated with more respect than in the past, but I won’t count on it. Christian Nationalists, Christo-fascists, Southern Baptist bullies, baby-entitled simpletons, and forced birthers want to march us back in their fetid closet gagged and hobbled, so remain aware.
