Baby Scoop Era Adoptee. I adored my late adoptive parents and massively love my adoptive family, but I support working towards family preservation wherever possible. Poverty should NOT be a reason for a person to lose their entire family.

it undoubtedly soothes the baby-buying class’s conscience to believe that the adoptable children are the ones whose “birth mothers” decided they actually preferred to lose all legally protected contact with their—“birth children”?—forever

it would be cool if hopeful adopters paused to ask themselves if they would ever choose for their own child what they are hoping that a “birth mother” will choose, and to ask how they feel about participating in & benefiting from a system that corners vulnerable people into making that “choice”

The point is that you can’t transact with the baby-buying and family-destroying business without a fair degree of Othering of those on the other side of the transaction.

While I've had the Gordon Neufeld experience on more than one occasion, that the book addresses all three points of the traditional adoption triad makes it suspect to me.

The adoption triad is an obtuse, scalene triangle and ignores the larger constellation.🥚

This is because of the Musk takeover of the U.S. Treasury payment division, correct? Because he and his young cohorts have access to our Social Security numbers?

We so sorely need Bernie to be 35 years old again so he can still have 50 more years left!!! I love Bernie!!! A man with true integrity and convictions that don’t change with the political winds!

Tony, I agree with this passage! Could you tell me from whence it came? (Book/article/etc. with title and author?)

If adoption centers the interests of the adoptee, then why can’t the adoptee, at least at the age of majority, choose to end the fictive familial relationship?

Why can’t we annul our adoptions?
