Articles and Studies
Strengthening
Families - In adoption, loss is experienced by the natural
parents, the adopters and by the adopted person. Many adoptees, such
as Catholic Priest Rev. Thomas F. Brosnan say that "In my biased
opinion the greatest Loss is suffered by the adopted person."
Forcibly
Breaking the Maternal Bond - Maternal separation is too painful
for monkeys - why do we encourage it for humans?
A
Mother's Love, Brain Linked by Robert Lee Hotz. "It turns
out a mother carries in her bloodstream, for decades after they are
born, a little piece of every baby she has had.
Not by Choice
- by Karen Wilson-Buterbaugh, Eclectica Magazine. Historical
perspective of adoption and the techniques used to get mothers
to surrender their babies in the 1960's.
New Directions in Adoption
- Adoption Issues, Adoption Reform - Adoption articles exposing
the adoption industry.
Unlocking the Heart
of Adoption - In this documentary which is being aired on
PBS, documentary filmmaker Sheila Ganz provides some insights into
how adoption affects the adopted person and the natural mother. Perhaps
more could have been said in the film about the "social forces"
that tear the real family members apart, but otherwise "Unlocking
the Heart of Adoption" is very informational for a public that
has been led to believe that a baby won't know the difference and
her natural mother will just go on as if nothing had happened. No
mother (or father) should be denied help so her baby can be used to
fulfill some stranger's dream of a baby for adoption.
Adoption Reform and
Family Issues Blog - Infant adoption issues, effects of the
separation of natural family members and the denial of reproductive
rights.
America's Secret
Crime Against the Family by Jessica DelBalzo. Strongly worded
article that ompares the adoption industry to the tobbacco
industry, another business that has harmful effects.
"Adoptees, stripped of their families, given new names and
even falsified birth certificates, make up a new generation of slaves
in America. In a society where the average cost of a private adoption
is $60,000, agencies and social workers see infants only through
the dollar signs in their eyes. The child's welfare takes second
place to the profit he can bring in; otherwise, parents would be
informed of the risks of adoption before they could surrender their
babies. Instead, children are sold like miniature slaves. Their
birth records are altered to reflect the names of their purchasers
rather than their parents, and their true birth certificate is sealed
away. They are the only Americans who are denied the right to know
their own name and the names of their parents."
