The Twisted Logic of Being a Birthmother
How can we be “good” if we do relinquish, but “bad” for considering the act that would eventually be “good”? Does not the final goodness cancel out the bad?
Adoption Truth
New Jersey’s Golden Cradle Adoption Inc; More Unethical Adoption Agency Hyjinks
Met Ana; she was told that she had the 30 day revocation timeframe under PA law because she is from PA, she lives in PA, she was told the family lived in PA, and the baby was born in PA, only to now be told that it’s a New Jersey adoption. Of course, New Jersey does not have a revocation of adoption consent period recognized by law. How convenient.

Bring Camden Home
Returned by the Original Adoptive Family, Camden Sits in Foster while this Agency Refuses to Return Him to his Loving Mother
A horrible injustice happening at this unethical Adoption Agency in Ohio; Adoption by
Gentle Care is holding Baby Camden in foster care while his loving mother fights for the return of her sick child in court.
Yes, this case sounds too horrible to be true, but it is all true.
Please take some time and look around to get an idea of what has been happening since the end of March 2014.
Missing Persons
What’s the Difference? Family of the Missing Plane or Mother from Adoption
I personally find it difficult to understand why our society in general can grasp these families grief, yet they can’t understand or even acknowledge a mother of adoption loss’ grief. Do mothers not warrant the same compassion and empathy as those that lose a loved one in another fashion? Loss is loss. Grief has no rules as to which situation grants the right to grieve.
Whats Wrong with Adoption?
Truthful Views of Adoption Practices in the USA today
Adoption is supposed to be about finding families for the children that need homes. That is the way adoption is sold to society in a carefully homed marketing message as controlled by the adoption industry and reported on by the mass media.
Finding Faults in Current Adoption Practices is NOT “Anti-Adoption”
The truth is that the adoption system is greatly flawed. It is a profit driven industry. Both adoptive parents and natural parents are exploited for what they bring to the table: money for fees and children for transfer. The children adopted are treated like a commodity with the transfer of parental rights to a child bought and sold.
Adoption Fundraisers, Church Tax Deductions, the Adoption Tax Credit and Fraud?
What I have discovered is that the huge amounts of money in adoption and specifically in adoption funding through church again, makes my jaw not just drop, but fall to the floor and go hide in a corner trembling. But it’s all ok, right? Because we are saving children from the horrible fate of living in apartments with their single mothers and having to go to day care.
Adoption Advocates International Shuts Down!
One chart counts children and the other chart counts millions of dollars in profits and revenue for ONE adoption agency. They really shouldn’t correlate, should they? If adoption was ethical and not a business and not based on supply and demand than these two charts should not relate to each other at all, right? Especially a fine accredited long standing nonprofit adoption agency like Adoption Advocates International that has “saved” children for 30 years.
The Adoption Pendant: Born from Kay Jeweler’s Adoption Ad Blunder
I can’t say enough good things about the broken heart Adoption Necklace. It actually does make a great gift for adoptees and birth mothers as is one of the only pieces of jewelry I have ever seen that accurately represents the reality and truth of adoption.
The Rich Do Not Relinquish Children to Adoption
Despite how wonderful a choice those in the adoption industry would like the world to believe, mothers do not want to give up their babies for adoption and that can be easily seen as the rich do not relinquish.
A Perfect Example: Pre- Birth Matching in Adoption is Unethical & Exploitive to ALL
I would like to use this letter to point out how the adoption industry creates an environment where people have no choice but to be hurt, disappointed and face heartbreaking loss.
Same Sex Couples: Don’t Let Your Equality Turn You Into Oppressors
If you believe that you need, want, desire, have a right to, can only accept, are entitled, or even have made a “choice” that an infant though domestic infant adoption (or surrogacy) is the way to go, then please let me warn you that you are in great danger of becoming exactly what you have fought against for so long. You are entering a slippery slope where you are in great danger of becoming the oppressor.
Q: What Does it Take to Close Unethical Adoption Agencies Down?
I’m not sure how long an adoption agency should be allowed to thumb their noises at carefully spelled out rules and laws especially when dealing with the welfare of human beings especially children, but ten years and 17 pages is way too much for me.
Birthmother Commentary: On and Off Line
If birthmothers had to be identified all the live long day some people might find the need to pelt us with rocks or at least, if one was ever to take seriously what one reads online, hurl vast insults and barbed comments as we went about our days. I could see a lot of us spending a lot of time in tears because what people say out of fear or weird anger or ignorance or just plain judgment can be really harsh.
Birthmother Gaslighting Manipulation by the Adoption Industry
I know many birthmothers who have “chosen” to relinquish a child to adoption have great difficulty explaining the very subtle coercion and thought process that goes into it. It’s not so obvious to be called brainwashing. It is often not forceful enough to be openly accepted as coercion. We don’t even know or want to call ourselves “victims”. Is it the sophisticated manipulation tactic known as “Gaslighting”?
