For some reason my blog...I had to change the look. For some reason my blog was coming up funky. I also change my mood on it every now and then.<BR/><BR/>I guess you and I are in the adoption community more and we see those fighting. I am seeing more and more adoptee bloggers. <BR/><BR/>What is scary is that I am seeing more and more entitled ones. I know you know what I am talking about.<BR/><BR/>Sad thing is even with them, I am seeing more and more screaming mad adoptive parents. I know of at least a hundred with the Commonwealth Adoptions International scandal. <BR/><BR/>I take it that you wish your brother would stand up? Is that a correct assessment? Men don't stand up as much. I have a brother in law that is still terrified of meeting his natural mom. My sister who is insecure in her self won't let me talk to him one on one.<BR/><BR/>However I am seeing more and more people start to stand up. Could be because I live in Texas. We are just plain ornery. <BR/><BR/>I think another thing is sometimes people are afraid to look at their past. I was raised very differently. My adoptive mother would not allow to deny my truth or my past. She is that way with all of her daughters.Amyadopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954658047614318238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-61057827390726178342008-10-09T09:37:00.000-05:002008-10-09T09:37:00.000-05:00You have changed your color scheme recent. Right? ...You have changed your color scheme recent. Right? I like it.<BR/><BR/>About "We have too many adoptees dying. Society is shocked and horrified. I know that the adoptees are demanding changes."<BR/><BR/>I have to disagree. I don't think general society sees too many adoptees dying. Adoption is a fairly rare statistical event. 2% of US households include an adopted child. And stepparent adoption is the most common type. So while adoption feels like a common event, it is outside of the majority of society's experience.<BR/><BR/>Just based on my day-to-day contacts.... I am willing to bet that the general public just sees the news articles discussing a child dying... not an adopted child. And I don't know anyone in my face-to-face life who would see or accept that there is a pattern in the deaths. It is just outside of their life experience.<BR/><BR/>And I know that some adoptees (such as you) are talking about change.... There are many other adoptees who aren't saying a word... like my brother.AngelaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650267665190139317noreply@blogger.com
