The commenter clearly hasn't directly or indirectly experienced the pain of relinquishment or prefers not to know about it because it would interfere with her feeling good about what she wants. My guess is that she is either an adoptive parent, a prospective adoptive parent, close to someone who is or has no experience with adoption at all. Try not to get discouraged. When I look at how the process of relinquishment has changed in Michigan over the last 40 years, I am encouraged. Women in crisis pregnancy are not allowed to relinquish not without having been offered resources and options. These changes have occurred because of activists like you. The only real comfort i feel in my whole experience of adoption is the changes that have occurred. Just my two cents. i, too, was horrified and dismayed the comment on the Momocrats site.

I agree no one will get it who is not directly involved in the adoption mess. Only with proper access to realistic sex education can we stop the mess at the beginning. Sex education as follows: Absitnence is the only sure way to not get pregnant or contract an STD. But if you decide to have sex here is what you need to know to protect yourself and your partner. Unplanned pregancy will still happen but I daresay the rates will go down as they have in other countries. No prenancy means no abortion and no adoption. I am a mother who lost her child 30+ years ago. We are blissfully reunited. I am one of the lucky ones. Keep up the good work.

I feel like things need to change so badly, but I have absolutely no idea where or how to start. This is exactly how I’ve been feeling lately.

Sharing your frustrations on every level. Evil can parade around in many faces. If evil oversteps and is exposed then it must change its face. Adoption has worn many masks over the years. Reform is just another excuse to change the mask. The bottomline is that as long as there is a market for newborn babies, "they" will find the "product". It's about money. I care very much.

I used to think that first moms placed and then "moved on" with their lives without angst or grief. (Oh, and that adoptees never worried/cared about their first parents either, if their adoptive parents were "good enough"!) Then I got an education in what adoption is REALLY like for REAL people. The politicians aren't listening, yet, but there are other people out here who are. I used to think that adoption was win-win-win.

There is value in your words and the lives of those affected by the changes that need to be made. I wish I knew the way to garner more attention for these issues. *hugs* I never had an inkling of all the issues involved until I heard your voice, your take on things, your story.
