Is adoption LOVE - or is adoption BIG BUSINESS?

"... one in every six couples of childbearing age is infertile, a 100% increase in 20 years." --Infertility and Adoption, A Guide for Social Work Practice, Deborah Valentine, Editor (1988)

Infertility is increasing. For a male, even the use of a laptop can cause infertility if supported directly on the lap because it will increase scrotal temperature. STDs, overweight, environmental toxins, drug use, smoking and other bad habits also contribute to infertility. Many people today put wealth and their own interests first and wait too long to reproduce. Some women are infertile due to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease from an infection which occured when they obtained an abortion.

One possible solution to infertility is educating people to prevent infertility - which would also prevent the suffering of couples who may experience it. However, many entities profit off infertility and infertility treatments. So rather than prevent infertility, the United States government prefers to fund programs designed to make a supply of healthy infants available for adoption. Those in the business of getting babies for people to adopt are making a fortune off "services" and donations for this "charitable" work". "Counseling" is provided to pregnant women which is designed to get the real Customers the healthy, intelligent babies "of their dreams".

Today in United States, "family values" means putting a price tag on human beings, the smallest of our citizens. Family values means NOT valuing real family relatedness, but dismembering and decimating true families to "build" families.

Small Miracles Adoption Agency in Denver in the News. Read the transcript: "If they are not sure about placing their baby - they would offer them more money."

COMPETITORS SAY THAT'S NOT THE WAY REPUTABLE ADOPTION AGENCIES SHOULD WORK.

Book - How to Adopt an Infant in Months not Years!

"How To Adopt a Domestic Infant in MONTHS and not YEARS...and accomplish this while ensuring a ROCK SOLID Legal Foundation!"... "With How-to, Step-by-Step ways to shorten your Journey To Adoption by creating and implementing a hard-hitting, dynamic Birthmom Search ACTION PLAN"

Is this the "strategy" of a "loving" prospective adopter wanting to provide a home for a child? A book filled with secrets, techniques and strategies to "legally kidnap" someone else's child?

"Adoption is Love" car ribbon magnets

The color signifying the real mom is pink, the adoptive "parents" are yellow!

To prospective adopters - purchasing "adoption services" which target naive and vulnerable young people with adoption advertising does not qualify you as a parent.

Purchasing "adoption services" which assist in getting a baby away from her mother, father, grandparents and siblings is not a sign of love for a child or her family.

"Adoption=Love" bracelets, adoption necklaces and other adoption jewelry

Same colors are used for those who are "touched" by adoption.

"Adoption is Love" bumper stickers

Is your goal to promote adoption awareness? Some better bumper sticker ideas that provide real awareness of the "adoption option" and adoption exploitation:

Open Adoption? You can't trade me a few photos and letters for my baby!

Open Adoption? Adoption's not for me, don't mess with my head!

Adoption is cruel to natural moms.

 

Adoption: A divorce-like situation for a child torn between natural family and adopters.

Adoption denies father's rights - and a child's rights to her own father.

Adoption is not a loving option.

Adoption: Isn't there a more loving option? Help keep natural families intact.

Adoption? A mother is not an incubator!

 

Adoption? Protect a child's right to her natural family.

Adoption's not the best option. Keep your child.

Adoption: Adoptive joy is built on the oppression and suffering of real moms.

Adoption: Is the promise of "forever family" just an adoption industry guarantee to adopters that natural family ("birth things") won't matter to the child they acquire?

 

Adoption: It's how I lost my grandchild (brother, sister, mom, dad, gradparents, natural family).

Adoption: Family Apartheid

Adoption: Chosen Child or Purchased Child?

Pregnant? Say "no" to adoption. Your child needs you.

 

Adoption - Stop the Baby Trade!

Who benefits from adoption? Adoption attorneys, adoption "professionals", adoption "counselors", pharmaceutical companies, psychologists, psychiatrists.

Adoption: Feminist Women using naive Christian Women as a source of babies

Adoption: Lesbian Women using impoverished foreign mothers as a source of babies

Adoption: Gay men using less affluent parents as a source of children.

Adoption: Cultural Genocide

 

OB/GYN Nurses and Physicians - Please be forthright with patients and disclose the effects of separating moms and babies. You wouldn't let a patient "choose elective surgery" without telling them the truth - don't let patients "choose adoption" on the basis of adoption agency advertising.

 

Parenthood is a proud profession - whether planned or unplanned. Say "no" to adoption.

Respect and nurture natural families.

Doula: When "mothering the mother" mother the real mother - not the adopter.

 

Regarding our illustrious, over-zealous U.S. child protection system maybe

Protect children, not the "system" - just say "no" to federal funding, adoption bonuses and quotas.

Over-promotion of adoption tears real families apart.

 

"Family building" through adoption too often means real families do not get the services they need to stay together. A temporary financial situation or family miscommunication? - what a great opportunity that is for those who are hoping to get a baby to adopt!

The Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

The Golden Rule may not be used to get help for real moms and dads.

But the Golden Rule is sometimes used to get moms to surrender their babies for adoption. If pregnant moms are ill, depressed, have financial worries or have doubts about "parenting" then the moms are encouraged to "do the right thing" and give their precious baby to someone who wants a baby. Natural parents are advised to "be courageous, be brave" and "prove their love" ("Prove your love", "If you really love your baby" - these "lines" sound a lot like those used by a sexual predator - don't they? I've also seen "sometimes the right thing to do is the hardest thing to do" - as if chastizing a mother for keeping and raising her own child.)

If adopters become ill, depressed, have financial worries, lose a spouse or have doubts about "parenting" should they also be encouraged to "do the right thing" and give their child to someone who says "we can really love and cherish a child"?

The status of women in a society may be partially determined by the percentage of women who have their babies adopted-out.
