Posted on by — Leave a reply

Jacksonville , Florida-area Family Law attorney Michelle Sweatland says in the October 14, 2019, Jacksonville Daily Record, that she’s worried that not enough newborns are being tossed into the adoption spammer. Of course, she isn’t that crude; rather, she promotes bribery “incentives” — including education funds –to encourage women to “choose”  quick and dirty adoption as their life path.

National Adoption Awareness Month: #NAAM is the time to collectively dirty our hands, not throw them up.

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Adoptee mouths traditionally have been gagged, during #NAAM, unless they had a nice story to tell. But in the last few years, it’s become more difficult to keep us sitting still long enough to insert the ball gag. I’ve never met an adoptee–even a happy adoptee–who likes #NAAM and its specially designated  National Adoption Day party (this year Saturday, November 23) where broods of children get their names and families switched out and birth and court records sealed.like they were tiny Henry Hills.

Posted on by — 2 Comments ↓

It’s been almost four months since passage of S3419, New York’s historic equal rights legislation. Yet one critical step remains: making sure Governor Andrew Cuomo signs S3419 into law. While the bill is not yet on his desk, we have continued to let him know how important this bill is for all of us. That’s where you also come in, likely again. Continue Reading →

Massachusetts H3468: Redundant ,Dumb, or Obstruction?

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Just when you think AdoptionLand can’t get any more absurd, meet Massachusetts H3468, an “adoptee rights” bill mandating all Massachusetts birthparents in the future to turn over their individual and family medical histories to the state before an adoption relinquishment can be completed.  ln other words, the bill legislates, some kind of plan for birthparents to divulge medical histories “anonymously” that adoptees could receive, upon request, without birthparent names attached, at the age of 18.

More Conflation and Co-option: Abortion,adoption, fostercare, and Wendy’s. Make it stop!

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

Abortion abolitionists continue their fantasies about abortion and adoption and abortees and adoptees.  After numerous requests to cease and desist, they continue to propagandize adoptees and former and current people in foster care to pimp their agenda. Just stop it! This time around we have diva Lila Rose (who incidentally opposes contraception) and numerous abolitionist and conservative news sites peddling Wendy’s and the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption as allies in their pursuit of mandatory birth.

More conflation: Recruiting Adoptees to Promote Adoption in a “post-abortion” USA.

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Adoptees, then, from the evangelical  (Protestant or Catholic) POV, need to be visible as a “saved” class, grateful for the life they claim we would otherwise not experience, yet be invisible regarding our genuine selves, including our genuine and often unpleasant opinions about adoption,  What’s more, abolitionists and co-religionist adopters need to be seen as saviors to fulfill their own social and spiritual ambitions. Former Kansas Senator, Governor, and US Attorney General Sam Brownback says that the more children you adopt the easier it is to get into heaven Continue Reading →

Introduction: Conflation! We got conflation. Abortion, adoption and fostercare

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Miss Rose’s immediate goal was to show that forced-birthers care what happens after birth. What she failed to mention is that forced-birthers and the politicians they elect seldom support contraception (inexpensive or otherwise)  family preservation,  ACA,  Medicaid expansion, inexpensive childcare, job training, school lunch programs, poverty programs, and other pro- mother and child initiatives unless, of course, they are tied to Protestant or Catholic evangelism, not publicly funded secular programs.No amount of one-on-one foster adoption is going to solve economic class- and race-based problems. BUg my abolitionist accounts adoption will.  Continue Reading →

I really hoped I would not have to write about John I’m-not-a- Doctor Becker again, but he just won’t let it go. Being the dumbest Representative ever to be elected to the Ohio General Assembly is intoxicating, I’m sure, and it can be difficult once you’ve reached that status. to one-up yourself,.But Becker did it.
