But seriously. I have continued to push and prod throughout this post, all of you, for reasons. Everything I read here is ABSOLUTELY SCARY. There's a LOT of unhealthy stuff going on in adoption relationships and it NEEDS to change. For you. For the other party opposite you. For our children. For society. For the birth parents, adoptive parents and adoptees who will follow in our footsteps in coming years.
Change starts somewhere. I'm not content to sit by and watch people get caught up in "well, this is good enough" or "it's never going to change."
We can foster change. I have to believe we can. Or it all seems hopeless and pointless.

I'm glad you're amused, and my anger is not misdirected. You do not know my life Jenna, for you to sit behind a computer screen and tell me that I don't do what I should for my child is ignorant.
I've been living adoption for 30 years now, I've been active in reform in my state for ten years, I believe that is six years before your daughter was born. I do my share, don't you dare tell me I don't just because in this relationship I choose to protect myself.
Jenna, you are a smart woman, but you don't know everything there is to know about me, my life, my situations, so please reserve judgement for your own life.
