YOU HAVE JUST GOT TO SEE THIS

BLC did an excellent expose on Jean Morrissey. Seriously how can this woman be taken with any credibility? She poses on her myspace in various positions like she is some super model. Truthfully it is disgusting. I got to give credit to the adoption agencies of this country. Their executive directors do not go around posing like they are some sex goddess. I realize that I am going to get heat for this. I am totally aghast at the pictures of this woman. Jean Morrissey, you are a fifty something wannabe. You ain't never gonna be in the lines of Paris Hilton or Brittney Spears. You come off as common white trash. Even the women on this ranch would be appalled at your fashionista sense of ick. Most Texas women would gag on your outfits.

Lets not forget the little incident with abuse of your son. You even filed a complaint against the police department only to have it dismissed. What you threw a bottle or glass at your son in a temper tantrum. You were charged with child abuse weren't you? Please give me a break. Just so that you know. I am not a member of Bastard Nation. I am however an adoptee who believes that all children should be treated with respect and love. I believe that we need to stop shaming mothers if they get pregnant. These laws do not protect the natural parents. One parent if not both are denied due process in the law. The adoptee is denied access to his heritage and his records.

If you are all about the children, then act like an adult. For those that need additional information on why these laws do not work, check the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute and the Alan Guttmacher Institute for more information.

By the way this woman sanctions the abandonment of babies. This is what really ticks me off as an adoptee and a mother. We need to be teaching responsibility instead of abandonment of children. This denies an adoptee their records which is very important to me but it also teaches that it is okay to throw away a child. We need to end that philosophy in this country. Women and children in this country are not property of the state or anyone else. They need to be given the same respect that everyone gets.

Here is the Bastard Nation action alert. Please write and let Nebraska legislators know that this kind of law needs to go by the wayside. It is too harsh for the parents and children of this country.
ASTARD NATION ACTION ALERT

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED RE: NEBRASKA SAFE HAVEN LAW

REPEAL IS THE ONLY SOLUTION TO LB 157.

Members of the Nebraska Legislature convened Monday, Nov. 14 for a Unicam special session to address Nebraska's disastrous safe haven law, LB157. This law allows any person to abandon any child up to the age of 19 to a state- designated safe haven. Since its passage last summer, this law has turned the safe-haven concept on its head. 34 children have been abandoned to state designated safe havens since Sept. 1st.

It is urgent that you contact the Unicam legislators at once because bills introduced on the opening day of the Unicam session, Nov. 14th, will be eligible for final passage as early as this Friday, Nov. 21st.

Bastard Nation calls for the immediate and PERMANENT repeal of LB 157. Furthermore, it calls for the defeat of LB 1, LB 3 and any other subsequent attempts by the Unicam to impose any baby dump/Baby Moses, safe haven bill on the people of Nebraska.

LB 1 and LB 3, two alternatives to LB157, were introduced on Nov. 14th. LB1 would change the safe haven law to apply to infants 72 hours or younger. LB 3 would create a 2-tiered system of "legal abandonment": one for infants up to one year of age; the other for children between the ages of 1 and 16. The second tier would also create regional and state "intervention teams" to assist families in abandonment crisis enabling them to access services and avoid abandoning their children if possible. There is no intervention team for infants and their moms.

Nebraska's experience proves that abandonment is unacceptable at any age. The legislature must concentrate on saving Nebraska families rather than saving only the infants, who by the way, are in high demand in the adoption world.

BACKGROUND OF LB 157:

On July 8, 2008, Nebraska's LB 157 baby dump bill went into effect. Unlike other so-called "safe haven" laws which limit "legal abandonment" of children anywhere from birth up to the age of 1-year, this 47-word, 2-sentence law authorizes the "legal abandonment" of any child up to the age of 19 by any person. From September 1 to today, 34 children have been abandoned by their parents or guardians. These include a family of 9 children (age 1-17) left by their father and four dumpees brought in from out of state. At least another dozen unsuccessful attempts have been reported. These include two-self dump attempts: an 18-year old male in Grand Island living in a storage unit with his grandmother after he was kicked out of his home by his mother's boyfriend and a 16-year old high school honors student with her 10-month old baby. The young mom said her own mother physically abused her and stole her government assistance money.

The nightmare consequences of legal child abandonment have become a reality in Nebraska and have quickly spread its evil tentacles to other states. One woman rushed across the river from Iowa to dump her 14 year old daughter. A Georgia mother made speedy plans to drive to Nebraska to abandon her teen "before the Unicam had a chance to meet and change the bill."

Mrs. Morrisey seems to think that I wrote the blog entry or that Lauren Sabina Kneisly/Baby Love Child is me. Sorry! We are two different people hundreds of miles apart. If I were doing all her work and mine, I'd be doing nothing else.

Sexualizing baby abandonment is really really weird.

Its beyond weird. It creeps me out completely. She needs to read BLC's blog. There are two different writing styles. Anyone who knows your writings and hers can tell the difference.
