Perhaps I looked in the wrong place, but I saw very little in the news about infant adoption this year….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. Continue Reading →
he objectification and commodification of Boxed Babies is one of our numerous objections (and here) to baby boxes. Critically, objectification and commodification are key elements SHBB Inc survival–finances. The corporation over the last 8+ years, has posted dozens of happy (and not so happy) looking babies and toddlers and their adoptive parents to encourage “desperate mothers” to use its services, and more importantly, to normalize baby boxing to the public. In turn, the photo-ops, press conferences, banquets, and special interest stories fill their coffers and feed the adoption industry’s bloody maw. Continue Reading →
NAM/NAAM is winding down, and so am I. I will be so glad when this is over for political and personal reasons. I have things to do today that are going to take more time than I think, so I’m going to toss out a couple of reading suggestions. Continue Reading →
What in the world does this even mean? Who is rescued? Who is redeemed. Bastards? Biomothers? Adopters? The Adoption Industry, which is desperate for new product. If we all work together we can redeem the purpose of adoption. $$$$ Continue Reading →
Despite what the video implies, I can’t think of anything Mrs. Kelsey has that I want . (I lied. I’d not mind her and the Mr.’ s combined near $200k salary). I am certainly not jealous of what “she has.” Her proposed “family compound” makes me think of Waco. AdoptionLand holds nothing but disdain and disgust for her baby abandonment project, and her contempt of us, our rights, the rights of the babies she “saves,” the biofamilies she dismisses, the adoption mills whose doors she doorstops open, and the closets she wants to shove us in.

As a young teenager ,she trained as a dancer and geisha. and performed under the name of Tsumakichi.. In 1903 ,when she was 15, her adopted father murdered 5 geishas in his school, slashed Ohishi across the face with a knife, and cut off her arms! Continue Reading →
Here we are, November 20, 2025, and nearly 2/3 through NAM/NAAM. It’s the middle of the night, and I have nothing to say…writing every day about adoption and its adjacents is a killer. And, so limiting. I want to jump out the window, but we live in a 1-storey house, and I could only crawl out the window, if I could get it open Continue Reading →
A couple weeks ago, I interviewed with Roni Dori from Calcalist, the largest business publication in Israel, regarding adoptee opposition to Safe Haven Baby Boxes. The official English language article will be out next week, and I think it will be online. But in the meantime, here is the original, which you can translate with Google. Translate.

Below is the list of questions political watchdog Chris Hicks attempted to ask SHBB Inc CEO/Founder Monica Kelsey at last week’s baby box opening in Hamilton, Ohio. Instead of being professional and answering them or politely declining, she called for Security and ran away. Each question is reasonable and something that a member of any legislature might ask–and in some cases has asked. Did she run out of the hearing room? Call for the state patrol? Continue Reading →
he Adoption-Safe Haven Baby Box thread caught my eye, bringing a new insanity to Safe Haven discourse. “Yes Adoption. Pro-Life will often say that there is no difference between a human life that is born and a life that is unborn. So if those that are born can be adopted, let the unborn be adopted as well.“ Continue Reading →
