Donaldson Institute Releases Study on Adoptee Rights
Ok so, as you all MUST know by now, the Evan B. Donaldson Report for this November, FOR THE RECORDS: RESTORING A RIGHT TO ADULT ADOPTEES, is making the waves.
So adding in today.. we have A NPR show which is available to hear now.. and then the NPR Blog of the Nation. Now, many many familier names have added their 2 cents, but there are a few doinks in there..so I say go and comment!
Let the Adoptees Speak for Themselves NPR!
The show was particularly annoying for the simple reason that once again, they spoke FOR us!! It would have been a heck of a lot better if they actually had an ADOPTEE on there! Or a birthmother! Holy cow… could you imagine that?
Instead, we get to hear Tom Atwood’s drivil…don’t get me started on the NCFA… want to puke? (ok stupid question..no one ever really wants to vomit!)ok..well vomit waring…google up Birthmother, Good Mother: Her Story of Heroic Redemption. No, I did not just make that up..that is the new NCFA publication! Now, you can buy your own copy for 10 bucks, but then the $$ goes to the NCFA! No bueno! So it looks like, maybe, you can get a free copy here? At least I think so… I tried.. But anyway, I did actually read this crap..and it is SO BAD!!!!!
One Arm Cleaning Bandit
In other local news..OMG I have to clean my house!!
A reporter from the local paper is coming over here..aka my house! on Thursday to interview me for the Kingston Times about Origins-USA.org, the EBD report, adoption etc! There was mention of photo ops! uggg..allowing time to interview..uggg..deep breaths…deep breaths.. its a very local paper,but the whole city reads it… so I am about to MAJORLY be “outed”. If I start getting looks in Hannaford….lol.
Oh and, for the record, I still have a broken arm. In fact, I don’t think it is all that much better. It’s amazing what one really cannot do with a broken humerous.
- I cannot: tie shoes or Zipper coats.
- I do not put on my seat belts, but I can undo them.
- I do not drive.
- I can tweeze my eyebrows one handed, but that annoying zit over my right eye? Nope, it has taken up residency.
- I can’t wear a belt as I cannot get it around my back.
- Buttons are hard too. So I wear pull up pants, alot…
- Washing the broken hand is rather hard..since it is at crotch level and cannot be raised nor held out.
- Socks are a challange..try it one handed.
In fact, just do me a favor and for one hour, tie you left arm to your side..like belt it down! Then do stuff! Then you can make sympathethic purr noises at me…lol.
