Day 2: “Fun” Ways to Celebrate National Adoption (Awareness) Adoption Month

Of course, very little of this fun stuff was posted on the calendar, touched on bioparents or adoptees– and certainly none on adopted adults. I can’t speak for bioparents, but adopted adults lost their cuteness long ago.  We’ve lost our angel wings and pink and blue blankees, and picked up the cudgel of adoptee rights. We are (clutch your pearls) at best ungrateful.  At worst, possessed by Satan. (I’ve been told I am). Continue Reading →

NAAM Day 29: Hate v Incompetence: My Personal and Political Social Media Challenges

I have been hesitant to add Bluesky to my itinerary. Why? Because various folks tell me it is full of  “nice people”…and well…I just don’t want to spend my time with” nice people.”  As far as I’m concerned it’s a bunch of “nice people” as a class, (nothing personal) afraid to lock and load, that has turned the US into a clown car of fascists, white Christian nationalists, queerphobics, misogynists, sexual deviants and predators, crooks, embezzlers, fraudsters, grifters, plastic surgery freaks. anti-science nuts, and overall incompetents who probably spent their high school years in detention.  All fronted by sleeve-snickering billionaires and foreign tyrants. You know who you are, bitch boys.  Continue Reading →

NAAM Day 25: Adopted Woman Speaks Out; Haters Hate on Her, Part 2: The Language of Adoptaphobia and Hate. (Quotes Included)

The shitstorm response Pellecuer received, however, far exceeds anything I have ever seen or heard. According to my computer when I hit the print key, Pellecuer had received 81 pages of adoptee-hating, racist, nativist, and misogynist hate-filled  clap backs. 81 pages!  I did not print them out. but read every one of them. Continue Reading →

NAAM Day 14: Don’t Mourn, Organize

Anyway, during NAAM and beyond I plan to write some about Trump and his Criminal Family, incompetent nutbar associates, Project 2025 and any other malevolent plan that is exposed, and how they will impact adoptee rights and adoption in general if go unheeded Continue Reading →

NAAM Day 5: National Adoption Month 2024 Presidential Proclamation

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 →

NAAM Day 2: Woman Says Selling Her Baby is a “different kind of adoption.”

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 →

NAAM Day 1: Welcome to the Worst Month of the Year: November 2024. National Adoption Awareness Month

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. Continue Reading →

NAM./NAAM Day 30: The Wicked Witch is Dead Redux

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.
