AmRis sent this to me and I really think it’s a concept worth exploring.
I am not so sure about the “non-profit” aspect (and of course my concerns
with infant adoptions period) but I really believe the concept is solid
toward the goal of eliminating coercion and misrepresentation.
I would love to hear what you all think, particularly from [...]
I met Theresa in Philly yesterday. It was wonderful and yet bittersweet and emotional. It was also very healing in some yet to be defined way.
The bond between fellow adoptees is difficult to express but we both agreed at one point that without one another it would not be so easy to take the [...]
“The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not [...]
It all becomes so tiring. Trying to provide evidence regarding why it is so important to treat one another with dignity, respect and love. Trying to get people to understand why it’s necessary (to the very core of our existence) to have our true identities honored instead of hidden. Why we should strive to keep [...]
Claude reunited face to face with her son yesterday. How cool is that? I think they look amazing together.
Kim’s back. YEAAAAAA!!!!!
Some interesting ideas brewing here and here and here. Please read Theresa’s post before you sign the petition. I see BB’s point clearly although I think a march in WDC is a great idea and [...]
Hi Nina,
I wanted to write you regarding your recent reunion with your mother. Among

visiting to see how it went I had this totally hard core anxiety
attack. I know that must seem weird but let me explain.
Our experiences seem very similar. [...]
A friend of mine just posted this on a group I belong to. I have made no secret of my disdain for the Catholic Conference and Catholic Charities organizations. I have good reason to feel the way I do. I think no matter where you stand regarding the NJ bill it is [...]
Information has been requested (see post and comments below) regarding how one would go about joining the Official Bastard Club.
I cannot disclose any club secrets unless you are an honorary member. However, we are a welcoming bunch so if you want to join you can! I know, you’re excited aren’t you? I must warn you [...]
I don’t watch a huge amount of TV but there are a few shows that I watch regularly. I love Boston Legal, Greys Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters and The Office (for much needed comic relief). For as little as I watch though it always amazes me how much adoption related issues permeate the airwaves. Maybe [...]
I gave a lot of thought to the wonderful comments I received from my last post. I have great days but then of course there are those “adoption days” when the weight of the matter is too much to bear and I have to find a release. Thank GOD for blogging. I was (as always) [...]
