Why Adoptee Rights

I have three reasons why I believe that Adoptee Rights is very important and why I dedicate my time to doing so. Why Do YOU Support Adoptee Rights?

There is no difference between selective omissions of truth and outright lies. I do not allow people in my life to lie to me, either by with holding truth and facts or by deceiving me...why would it be acceptable for me to be okay with the government to lie by omission about me to me?

I challenge anyone to give me just one good reason why I should be forced to use a fake birth certificate. How does this fake birth certificate benefit me as an adoptee in any way?

Words spoken during my search as an adult adoptee...meaning, (figuratively or literally)
to be caught between two points
or locations.

Three reasons why I fight to end discrimination against my children & 90% of other adopted adults in the US. Why do YOU fight for open birth records?

Thoughts on birth, adoption, race, special needs, parenting, chaos, and life with four kids- all with a chewy liberal center.

I am so excited about the OBC. Can't wait to see it and find out if your name is "Intentionally left blank" or Georgia (or Una or Frances or maybe that great Hawkes family name: "Experience.") And is your biological father listed by name or "Unknown" or "Alleged".

There are many other reaosns to support open reords:- First and foremost, the majority of adoption are not open- It is the rIGHT of everyone to have access to their truth and to all record spertainign to themThe fact is, the records should not be falsified to begin with.Do you really call your child Puppy?I'm new to this blog but assume you are protecting his/her confidentialy. But don't you think that's a bit degrading?Have you seen poundpuplegacy.org/?

I think from my slightly(?) biased position on the adoption triangle that law makers probably do know adoptees because they know many adoptive parents and those adoptive parents have their ear. Not to mention the adoption industry. Or one of their own kids or someone else in their family is having fertility problems and thinking about adopting so they see this is impacting on those people.It's sad but it's true. When I first found my son, a number of people's first words to me were - I just think of those poor adoptive parents who raised him. This group included my own sister because as she told me, at one point she thought she might have trouble conceiving and might be looking to adopt. It is frustrating as heck but we still haven't reached the point where the desire to know where you came from is perceived as non-threatening.As they say, it all depends on whose ox is getting gored and I think many, many people still see the gorees as the adoptive family, not the adoptees (and their mothers/fathers too) Keep up the good work Margie. You go get 'em.
