Ewww

I was reading at a blog I really enjoy, "Real Daughter" and she had written a post called: "Birth mothers hate me" and of course I had to read.... Well, I want to be the first to let you know that I don't hate you... and as a "FIRST MOTHER", I would like to give a big "Shut the hell up" to Birth Mom Buds and I find their official site offensive, especially when I saw that it is funded by damn adoption agencies, of course... it serves their fricking purpose, doesn't it.

There will absolutely be no change unless we stop screwing ourselves!!!!

Just the facts...

I find it interesting that people who lobby for closed records use the abortion card, when the real fact is, that abortion is chosen more often by first mothers who have placed a child for adoption to avoid the pain, than by women who are in fear of their child "finding" them one day...

So ... shouldn't they be lobbying for an end to adoption too, if that is their reasoning? if it causes more women to have abortions? or perhaps, they should give it up and give adoptees their OBC's...

Sometimes....

Sometimes I will come across something in someone's blog that truly touches my heart. This post did that. Adoption is painful. It hurts. I have heard of firstmothers committing suicide after realizing that they could not live without their child. Well anyway, just wanted to share the post.

Support Elaine Penn

This wonderful adoptee activist, Elaine Penn, will speak her truth to New Jersey legislators on Monday, June 14th at around 2pm.

She has endured so much due to her "maternal source" (Read story here) that we all need to give her our love and support!

Here is her blog, give her a shout!

I have been busy...

and this is what I have been doing... This is my Granddaughter Gracie, this is my heart...

Gracie could have been lost to adoption, however I wasn't ready to watch my daughter go through the pain I went through... So I am my daughter's support... I am "co-parenting" so to speak...
