sigh-- I've been hesitant to post... Either I'm getting paranoid or I feel like there are lurkers who are interested in doing more harm than good... I'm middle-of-the-road and seem to be 'getting it' from both people who want adoptions to stay closed & people who want unadulterated birth certificates and feel like I'm betraying our cause... I feel more confused than ever...

You know what though? They win if you stop posting and being an advocate for what you believe in. You have a great passion and voice for so many and I'd really hate to see you lose that. ((HUGS))

Nicely said Crick.
I've been at work, dealing with a sick husband, and trying to figure out this reunion stuff.  Then again, I don't post daily anyway.

Yes! I'm making enemies all over the place! So, I had a reporter call me. I talked to him for 45 minutes and an article is supposed to be in the Sunday Trenton Times -- New Jersey Local News, Breaking News, Sports & Weather - NJ.com -- I don't know how/if it'll be slanted or not... I guess now it's too late for 'others' to call and bother him... I'm sure that they'll be a comment section available -- at least for awhile!! Historically, they tend to shut down the comments on adoptee articles. I guess too much controversy. I'm hoping that nothing I said get taken out of context, but it's out of my hands now....

Still Here
Still come in and look around just about daily, just don't always type a reply.
I'm glad to see that so many of us still visit regularly. epenn...keep posting and don't let the others win, as Crick said.

Thank you, Crick. It's a little ironic -- yesterday morning, I was telling my daugthers that I want to drop out of all this adoptee stuff. LOL - their attitude was 'toughen up, buttercup' -- Then, that evening the reporter called...

Congrats, HF! It seems to me that for many of us, there are times when we post a lot and other times when we don't have the energy or desire to say much. I read more than I post. Sometimes it seems to me that there are some people who 1) only want to vent, 2) only want to hear opinions that agree with theirs and 3) take delight in demolishing the opinions (and sometimes the mental health!) of people who disagree with them. My advice is to hang in there!

Well, no news article yet. I'm wondering if the 'powers that be' squashed it. I'm trying to find out...
