What really gets my attention is adoptive parents suing adoption agencies for wrongful adoption. I don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing. To me as an adoptee its horrible. The ACLU, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood are some of biggest deformers in the world. I have to wonder about the effect of the birth mother research study has on them. If they have bothered to really think about women not having a adversarial relationshipt with their children. I sit here wondering - my own birth mother is frozen. Does she read this stuff- does she even acknowledge the pain that her parents put her through - what she has put me and two other people through. All I can say is why couldn't my mother been one of you guys.Amyadopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954658047614318238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-47961658109774969802006-11-29T23:22:00.000-06:002006-11-29T23:22:00.000-06:00I don't know much about what is going on in Indian...I don't know much about what is going on in Indiana, Amy..or its past history in adoption.I think you probably need to be there or know people who are, in order to get a more complete picture and history.<br /><br />Wasn't it you who said that there is an adoption agency and an abortion clinic sharing the same building in a city in Indiana? Now that would be interesting to explore...especially since both sides have been opposed to opening the records.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-78094539077366091562006-11-29T21:11:00.000-06:002006-11-29T21:11:00.000-06:00Okay I will look into and post something within th...Okay I will look into and post something within the next couple of days.

That was back before most/many of us were even born.Janine Baers book"Growing in the Dark" suggested that the sealing of records in this country started with Georgia Tann, who was found guilty of stealing 5000 babies through a racketeering charge.<br /><br />I think it is time to start asking more questions...what all are they covering up??Instead of trying to counter their arguments with statistics.<br /><br />We need to be more on the offense than the defense.<br /><br />I know this is very very difficult and made even harder when you live far from the state where your records are(mine are not in my state of residence , either).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-4833017850748631712006-11-29T07:20:00.000-06:002006-11-29T07:20:00.000-06:00Again I agree with you, but I am an adoptee who is...Again I agree with you, but I am an adoptee who is chasing the open records laws in Indiana. I am trying to change the laws the best way I know how. I think these adoption agencies of the past should be sued but I can't do that because I was not one of those that was affected by that type of situation. Have you thought about doing that? It seems that you were affected by that situation. If the courts and the legal system could hear what you had to say, maybe we could both do somethingAmyadopteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954658047614318238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-29310519686439125512006-11-28T22:31:00.000-06:002006-11-28T22:31:00.000-06:00Amy, it isn't just about "mothers rights"..it is a...Amy, it isn't just about "mothers rights"..it is also the agencies trying to cover up what they did and what they know the records will reveal.They don't want it opened up because that opens them up to liability.I am not talking about the so-called liability if the "confidentiality" is "breached". I am talking about the illegalities that the open records can reveal.<br />The agencies and attorneys are very afraid of being sued(maybe worse).I have heard them admit it..<br /><br />Sealed records are hiding much more than peoples names.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-71871005591914776962006-11-28T18:17:00.000-06:002006-11-28T18:17:00.000-06:00A wonderful post.

Adoption is so hidden, it's good to see people who bring it out into the light!

I have said that repeatedly. I have to debunk their theory. I have shown links to people who have experienced this.

Mothers were threatened with"court termination" if they did not "sign voluntarily"..the whole idea that a "birth mothers right to privacy" was being protected is absurd and nothing but a criminal cover-up in these situations.<br />A forced surrender is nothing but a kidnapping...the government and the agencies know it and that is one of the real reasons why the records remain sealed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
