NAM/NAAM Day 30. The Wicked Witch is Dead Again

Thank goodness NAM/NAAM is over–or will be at midnight. Now life can get back to “normal.” I don’t know what is worse. NAM/NAAM or writing about adoption every day.

As expected, I did not get half the things I planned to write about written or at least published. I have several pieces started, and I hope to get them up sometime. There is just too much crap flying out there to keep up. Suffering from TDS doesn’t help. I spend too much time inhaling the Horror descending on America and staring at the ceiling. I am tempted to read Heart of Darkness for the 5th time.and take up recreational substances.

One thing I said I’d do and I plan to, is to write more here on the Daily Bastardette. Once a week, but the then Daily was never daily. What was I thinking when I started this in 2004?

Perhaps I looked in the wrong place, but I saw very little in the news about infant adoption this year.. NAM/NAAM has switched course and is pushing foster care adoption. No doubt, though, that courts across the land were filled with tiny adoptees–girls in Disney princess costumes and boys in suits and ties–getting their names changed and records sealed. It doesn’t have to be that way. We are here for them.

Thanks to all who read this month, and to those new friends I’ve made along the way.

One thing before I go. I’m sorry, but this showed up after I wrote my blog on “redemption l This little girl in Florida has a dad and extended family that learned too late what had happened to her. Adopted and gone.
