NAM/NAAM Day 26: Black Friday Adoption $$$ Grubbing

Posted on by — Leave a reply

It’s probably a coincidence that National Adoption (Awareness) Month and Thanksgiving both fall in November. It is also fortuitous since it gives the adoption industry and its ancillaries the opportunity, like every other business, to cash in on Black Friday, that strangely named day-after-Thanksgiving Big Sale Day that has overtaken George Day (Washington’s birthday)  in popularity and spending and prole consumer riots on the floors of Walmart and Best Buy. Is there anything more American? Not according to the US baby acquisition folks. Continue Reading →

NAD/NAAD Day 25: Students for Life Continues to Co-opt, Appropriate Celebrity Adoptees

Posted on by — Leave a reply

The point is that SFL took Cheoweth’s words, produced a meme of sorts, with them and her picture, and posted it around the internet. The world. It actually stamped a SFL © in the upper right-hand corner…It also implies that Chenoweth agrees the Christian Nationalist ideology of SFL president, Kristan Hawkins. The organization, in effect, linked Chenoweth with SFL’s organization and agenda… Continue Reading →

NAM/NAAM Day 24. Kristan Hawkins’ Turkey: Leonard Leo Take Note!

Instead, I will just post an exceedingly stupid Tweet from SFL president Kristan Hawkins, that suggests, for the 27,000th time that she might be prone to drunk posting. Continue Reading →

NAM/NAAM Day 22: I Think I Have a Cannibal in my Adoptive Family Tree

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

He is credited with 11 known murders, but is believed to have committed many more in his back-and- forth travels across the “old west” and British Columbia. He seems to have shot anyone he felt like for the fun of it. On his way to California, he stabbed his cousin and companion Littlebbury Shoot (love the name!) in the chest just because he could. He reportedly hired out as a Danite* and killed 2 men in the Salt Lake City area at the request of Mormons “who wanted them removed.” (no details.) He bragged that he occasionally ate parts of some of his victims, though he claimed it was strictly a survival situation.

NAM/NAAM Day 21: Huge Increase in Foster Care Numbers Since Dobbs

Posted on by — 8 Comments ↓

“Economics” hefts up foster care and adoption, and I’ve seen nothing to suggest that anti-aborts and adoption fetishizers have any interest in fixing that disaster. That would be Marxist or some other bullshit. Make no mistake. Adoption numbers will rise–one of the reasons we must get as much of our legislation passed as we can now. Continue Reading →

Posted on by — 1 Comment ↓

West Virginia University, has agreed to donate $16,000 to cover the partial cost of two Safe Haven Baby Boxes in Wheeling. $8,000 each with the rest covered by other donors. That the state’s flagship institution of higher education–a public land-grant research university– is throwing money at such an ugly discriminatory misogynistic adopteephobic social experiment ( whew!) is so disgusting… Continue Reading →

NAM/NAAM Day 18: National Adoption Day 2023: God Did WHAT????

Posted on by — Leave a reply

As adopted people, of course, we are accustomed to the  God tropes assigned to us, especially during NAM/NAAM/NAD.  We are: “God’s gift,” “God’s Plan” or “an answer to prayer”–all of which pust a load on us, especially when we get older, turn into Satan’s ungrateful spawn, and want answers and paperwork. Then there is Rosie O’Donnell, back in her adoption facilitation days, telling a little adoptee on national television that she  (Rosie, that is) superseded God. “God made a mistake and put you in the wrong tummy, and I had to fix it.” Continue Reading →

NAM/NAAM Day 17: More on Michigan. Read Rudi Owens’ Legislative Review

Posted on by — Leave a reply

Rudi Owens, author of the memoir “You Don’t Know How Lucky You Are” and a Michigan adoptee rights activist, has published a good account of the November 8 public hearing and passage of the bills the next day in the House…I knew what our side’s testimony would be, so I appreciate Rudi’s summary of the irrational discriminatory and adopteephobic testimony presented by Michigan Catholic Charities lobbyist Rebecca Mastee (gee! surprise! Don’t they ever give up?) and attorney Heath Lowry, representing the Michigan Coalition to End Domestic and Sexual Violence. Both presented archaic claims of secrecy, anonymity, state promises,” and adoptee stalkers that were disproved decades ago. Rudi writes: Continue Reading →
