ugh -- bmother stirring up *stuff* again

I don't know what it is this time, but a reporter is contacting me. I e-mailed him my cell #. Looks like he wants to get 'my side' -- of what, I don't know...

I'm guessing that it has to do with the NJ Assembly Speaker (who has been blocking adoptee rights bill) announced that he won't be running again and is stepping down...

I'm so NOT into politics, but her and her husband are crusaders against adoptee rights... ugh, ugh, ugh...

Elaine, I'm so sorry that this is happening to you once again. To be honest, I just don't understand your birthmother...at all. Do you have any idea if there are any groups, such as the NCFA, behind her or even using her in an attempt to stop open records and adoption reforms? I know that the NCFA has done this numerous times...

I think your bmom's behavior is reprehensible....

ugh...
couldn't she have just said "I'm sorry epenn, I don't want contact with you at this time" without all of this craziness? I'm sorry this is happening to you and I don't know WHY your bmom feels the need to do this...it's not like you're stalking her or threatening her or anything...i mean, REALLY now...it's just starting to/already gotten to be out of hand.

what sent her into this tantrum was about -- jeez over 10 years ago -- after 2 letters to her, she sent me a sticky note saying to 'focus on my family that i have' -- that made me nuts -- my amom died when i was 4 and i don't have much 'family' -- but, i found a deed for her and contacted the lawyer -- thinking maybe he could mediate -- well, it ended up to be her son-in-law -- totally different name, i had no idea -- then, it just snowballed from there -- from what i understand, he told his wife (my 1/2 sis) and so and so...

these are all very much adults -- minimum in their 30s -- she had her lawyer threaten me that i couldn't contact them -- she has no right to speak for adults...

so, she's still throwing her temper tantrum after a decade...

Elaine,
In reading your postings, and how eloquently and thoughtful you write, I can see you are a beautiful lady. If I had been a birth mom, I would have been proud to have you for a daughter. I don't understand how this woman can even look at herself in the mirror. You sure did not inherit her cold callousness.
