Adoption.com – We are Pro-Adoption
Adoption.com is meant to be a support site for those touched by adoption. We recognize that not everyone has a positive experience with adoption and we are a support site for ALL who come here, regardless of your position or opinions.
While we appreciate the fact that not everyone celebrates adoption, or believes that adoption is positive for everyone, it must be said that we are a PRO adoption site. In recent months, we’ve seen an influx of members who have a different view of adoption than we do. While we do think it is important that members get a fair and balanced view of adoption by hearing the personal stories of those with different experience, it has become apparent that some of those who have a negative adoption experience aren’t doing that. They have infiltrated our site to do one thing, tell us we are all in denial, we are all damaged or we are all baby thieves. I know this may cause some confusion for some…I certainly don’t want to drive members away…as that is not my intention – all I ask is that members own their statements – share your stories, your feelings, your opinions, without making sweeping generalizations. I have a few friends who do not believe adoption is a viable option – they don’t support adoption in any way, shape or form, but I remain friends with these people because they don’t push their opinions on me. This isn’t an adoption battleground. Everyone can safely share their opinions without making offensive and sweeping generalizations. If you’re of the opinion that everyone here is wrong, that we all have our heads in the sand and that you’re here to ‘show us the light’ then I will be honest with you and tell you that this is not the place for you. Those members who continually bash other members for being pro-adoption WILL be banned. Those members who join for the sole purpose of attacking the ‘pro-adoption machine’ by sharing anti-adoption propaganda, will be banned. This applies to Private Messages as well. Please, continue to stay on board and share YOUR story from YOUR prospective – but the sweeping generalizations and attacks against adoption must stop. Adoption.com is a PRO Adoption website. There are anti-adoption sites out there that might be a better fit for those kinds of opinions. We aren’t looking to be ‘shown the way’ – Thanks anyway.
